Outside the cathedral, one of the city's quintessential Easter traditions made a comeback. People decked out in outrageous bonnets and hats clogged traffic on Fifth Avenue for the annual Easter Parade. "I'm glad that we are back and everybody is out dressed up with their beautiful bonnets. I'm just so happy," Joanna Colon ofEaster's symbolism rang especially true for Terry O'Hare, who was visiting from Scotland to celebrate the birth of his grandson.
"We are hopeful for some peace in the world, particularly in Europe and Ukraine," said O'Hare, who worries his grandson was born into a world of strife."It's a new beginning. He has risen, and I'm hoping that all of us rise as well and that we become better people," Jeanne Davis from the West Village said.Mass was held Sunday morning at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint James, where parishioners attended in-person and virtually.
Bishop Brennan was installed in November as the leader of 1.5 million Roman Catholics in Brooklyn and Queens.
