The Easter Bible Story comes to life with this 24-page play all about the events leading up to Jesus death and his resurrection!

Characters include: Jesus, Peter, James, John, Mary of Bethany, Martha, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, Pilate, Nicodemus, etc. I have taken the script from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and interwoven them to tell the story.
