We had a new lady play Mary in this year's Re-enactment of Our Lord's Passion. She did an excellent performance! There is always immense pressure playing such a popular role and this year the over 8,000 visitors were able to see Mary support Jesus in His Passion.
As Peter's gaze meets Jesus, Peter turns away, spotting Mary and coming for an embrace, before running away.
She meets Claudia after Claudia's impassioned plea to Pilate to have nothing to do with Jesus and not have innocent blood on their hands.
Mary then encounters Jesus near the start of the Way of the Cross.
A great crowd is watching as Jesus carries his cross to Golgotha and his Crucifixion.
Mary can only watch as her Son willingly carries His burden.
She is present at the foot of the Cross with St John, Mary Magdalene and Mary, wife of Cleophas.
Joseph of Aramethea and Nicodemus join them to claim the body.
Mary can only watch on and pray with us.
Well done to our fine actress! We look forward to future plays where we get to join together and immerse ourselves in the Re-enactment of Our Lord's Passion every Good Friday.
