Crucifixion
Mary, the Mother
Mary recounts the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and finds comfort in knowing that she will see her son again.

WITNESSES TO GOOD FRIDAY

MY PLACE
Barabbas recalls
his encounter with Christ, and tries to come to grips with Jesus dying
in his place.
THE
MORNING AFTER
Herod and Pilate discuss
the reality of Jesus and John the Baptist on the morning of the resurrection.
THE MASTER'S
TABLE
The teenage daughter
of the family that owned the upper room where Jesus ate the last supper
shows the room to a friend and recalls everything that happened that weekend.
WHY ME?
Simon gives an eyewitness
account of Jesus' final walk to the cross. What troubles Simon is the
irony of his own rage at the Romans for how they treated Jesus, juxtaposed
with Jesus' own love and forgiveness of those very tormentors.
THREE
HOURS
Mary Magdalene watches Jesus
as he is crucified. As she bears witness, she wonders how love could be
so seemingly trapped by hate.

TETELESTAI
A roman tax collector meets Luke the physician,
and tells the doctor of his eyewitness to Jesus' crucifixion. But it is
the "why" of the crucifixion that confuses the collector.
JESUS AND ME
You know the expression,
"Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it?" Josh experiences
that very problem when he prays that Jesus would be with him all day.
Now that Jesus has arrived, what does one do with him?
DANIEL 3
Modern newscasters
report on the execution of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. As the coverage
unfolds, the execution turns out to be anything other than ordinary.

TRIUMPHAL ENTRY
To explore the passion week through the eyes of a witness
MARY AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS
When we think
of Jesus' mother, it's often in the glowing Nativity scene:
a radiant young woman holding a swaddled baby. This script shows us quite
another Mary: a mother torn by agony as she watches her son die a horrible,
demeaning death. We get a chance to see both Jesus and Mary as "people"
rather than "biblical figures."
