The Passion of Our Lord

Christians throughout the Bahamas started the Easter weekend by attending church on Good Friday. The congregation of St Thomas Moore, in Nassau, put on a re-enactment of the Passion of Our Lord according to the Gospel of John. It was a good performance that showed off the dedication and talents of several members of their Christian community.

Directed by Kevin Strakan, the performance was a moving depiction of the last hours in the life of Jesus Christ. It lasted about an hour and received favourable reviews from the hundreds of people who attended.
