"These trials have come so that your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed" (1 Peter 1:7).
Every year, a contemporary element is weaved into the live presentation of the life and passion of Christ.
This year, StJW Passion Play presents the story of Chris, a dying woman and guardian of young Nick and Nina. Orphaned at a young age, Nick and Nina now struggle with their faith as they watch Chris undergo the final moments of her terminal illness. Chris uses this opportunity to walk them through the life and passion of Jesus in her final wish to help them understand a truth of faith: that Jesus can transform an unfair and undeserved suffering into the deepest expression of redemptive love. But will Nick and Nina receive this possibility and allow it to make sense of the suffering they are going through?
Meet the actors portraying Chris, Nick, and Nina and listen to why they decided to be part of this highly acclaimed play.
