Over 8,000 people attended this year's Passion Play, yet many more were unable to attend. We have created a number of posts covering small vignettes of the characters and people in the re-enactment.
The Re-enactment of Our Lord's Passion (also known as "The Passion Play") is held each year on Good Friday at the Monastery of Our Lady of Mercy, in "Penrose Park", Sutton Forest in the Southern Highlands south of Sydney. The play starts near the entrance to the grounds and moves from scene to scene until eventually ending up at the Grotto at the rear of the Monastery grounds, about 1,500m later.
Around 60 to 80 people are involved as actors and crew, preparing for the single day's 2 hour play.
Every year the mix of actors and crew change and over the last 31 years, there are differences in appreciation of the same story - that of the last week and day of the life of Jesus, from the entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to his death by crucifixion on Good Friday.
Here is a copy of this year's Guide.
