Living Passion Drama
Welcome to the Passion Drama at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church. We will walk together on a journey as we witness the suffering of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. All ages are invited to come and take this 15 minute guided tour. You will see that Jesus was willing to go to the cross, take all the humiliation, extraordinary pain and suffering, and most of all, the sin of the entire human race — past, present and future — upon Himself. He did it because He loves us and wants us to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
For 2018: This year we will hold the Passion Drama inside our church rather than outdoors in the Park. Please see the dates and times above for each performance. You will sit in the pews and watch the scenes unfold at the front of the church.
It is held in the park next to our school on M-15. Please park in the church's parking lot (between M-15 and M-46) and guides will direct you to our school. You will be seated in the gym, singing hymns while waiting for the groups to be ushered by our guides. They will take you to the park where you will see and hear the scenes:
The Agony in the Garden: Jesus spends the night in Gethsemane praying to His Father in Heaven.
The Trial before the High Priest: Caiaphas is the High Priest in the temple and wants to destroy Jesus before He can cause a rebellion.
Peter Denies Jesus: Jesus foretold that Peter would deny him 3 times.
Judas Betrays Jesus: Judas was paid and follows through with the betrayal.
Jesus is tried by Pilate: Jesus could only be executed by Roman authority and is therefore taken to Pilate.
The Crucifixion: Jesus is whipped, given a crown of thorns and made to carry His cross to Golgotha.
Soldiers Guard the Tomb: Pilate sends soldiers to guard the tomb so that the disciples cannot steal Jesus' body.
You are invited to return to the school for refreshments. There is no charge. We do accept free will donations to help offset the some of the costs.
The accounts of the Passion of Jesus Christ can be read in the following Gospels:
· Matthew, Chapters 26 and 27
· Mark, Chapters 14 and 15
· Luke, Chapters 22 and 23
· John, Chapters 18 and 19
