Finding The Correct Easter Play Scripts For Your Church Troupe

By Dianne Crane


Easter is a very popular festival with Christians all around the world. It is celebrated to remind us of how Jesus rose again after Crucifixion. Easter play scripts reminds us that man is mortal and is subject to the will of other people. This helps us to understand that we are indebted to the people all around us. It brings forward the message that God can achieve anything whereas man cannot.

This festival mainly depicts the portion of the life of our Savior Jesus, when He is nearing the end of life on Earth. It deals with the aspect of social life where interdependence and continuance of life is subjected to various things and have differing values for different people. Putting up a drama which tells us the entire story can be daunting. However, it is also thrilling.

It is the Holy Communion which is enacted at the Last Supper. What Christians practice today is a symbolic representation to bear witness to the crucifixion and the Resurrection of Christ. The bread or wine that we share is meant to represent the body or the blood of our Savior Jesus. We thus are given absolution from our sins and the access to eternal life.

Celebrations on this day are mostly limited to family members participating in a get together. Meals are shared and members of a family strengthen their bonds by Christian faith and commitment to eternal life. This kind of participation makes this day special as the family members get to renew not only their religious faith but also have a chance to mingle with the rest of family.

After crucifixion, Jesus arises on the third day on the morning after the Sabbath. It marks the victory and is the bastion for all Christians. It is the promise of eternal life and the re-dedication to be one with the faith. This makes everyone happy and there is much celebration all around. The very foundation of Christian religion is based on this one fact that Jesus has promised us life everlasting if one should follow Him.

The day of Easter is marked as the Sunday that follows the day of the full-moon after vernal-equinox happens in the northern hemisphere; most of all the years the equinox is found to occur either on March 20 or 21. So the festival is celebrated in any days that follow. It is also linked to the Passover festival which marks the exodus in the Old Testament by the Egyptians.

Scripts are varied and some of them deal with the scene on Calvary Hill where the Cross bears witness to the life of a great man who is our Lord and Savior. There is another scene where Jesus is seen to come to Jerusalem in time to prepare for his Last Supper. The Resurrection is the theme for most plays and inspires lot of people.

Easter play scripts tell of the triumph of Jesus over the cross. Choose a play that has lively script and moving dialogues. This is the fun part when you get to choose the script that you want to stage. If you have the correct script the entire team will get a boost. Easter will be a success.
