The Passion LAMPS Collective

The Passion

The life, death and resurrection of Jesus are recreated in this moving, memorable and ultimately joyful retelling of the Easter story.

Told from the perspectives of Peter, Mary Magdalene and a Roman centurion named Marcus, this powerful contemporary drama leads us up to and through the events of Holy Week, to the cross and beyond.

A life-changing experience for me and my understanding of the scriptures.
