The Passion play for 2023 was very captivating and colourful. The CYON and some other parishioners re-enacted the events of the Last Supper, Garden in Gethsemane, the Betrayal. the trial, scourging at the pillar, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, the crucifixion, and the death of our Lord. The drama was staged on Good Friday and acts commenced in the New Church (Holy Family Catholic Church, Festac Town) and the drama was concluded outside the church premise.
Passion plays each year is an opportunity to re-live the experience of our saviour’s suffering and death, and also journey with him as we make reparation for our sins. May we receive the grace to live a faithful life as we carry our crosses each day in preparation for heaven. Below are some images that captured the activities of the day.
