An Easter Tribute

Yesterday, I had the privilege of being in the cast of the Easter pageant held yearly on the campus of Southern Adventist University. The several hundred actors make the biblical story come to life for the more than 10,000 visitors that attend each year. Here are some images I snapped while "out of character".

Typical marketplace scene


The last supper


Preparing to leave for the garden


In the garden


At pilot's judgment hall


The mob


Condemned


Simon carries the cross that the beaten Jesus was too weak to carry


A roman guard


Nailed to the cross. It was brutal, but Christ chose to go through with it--for us.


Three crosses


Taking down the body for burial


He has risen!
