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.

It is a thrill to put up a drama that tells us a real life story. Jesus was an adult and nearing his sojourn on earth as a common man. Social norms and aspects of life that show the dependence of man upon each other have values that are vesting varying for the people at that time. It is the continuation of life and the social and cultural value we place upon it that makes the festival so special. Everyone wants to be a part of this celebration.

At the Last Supper, Jesus speaks about the betrayal and of His transformation as He rises from the dead. He metaphorically denotes the bread and wine to be His body and blood. The sacrament thus becomes the gateway for Christians to the eternal life as promised by our Savior. One is granted absolution from sin and from commitments that are not fruitful.

Celebrations typically include family get together and meals, services in the Church hunting for the Easter egg and gift giving. Families get together to mark their continuance to the spirit of Christianity and of oneness with the family members. By setting aside the day for the members of the family one makes the commitment to strengthen the bonds that tie them together.

Crucifixion and death of Jesus the Lord on a Cross is followed by His resurrection. This happens on the third day and is the one after the Sabbath. It gives us the promise of eternal life if one is willing to follow the Savior. Happiness comes when one realizes that he or she is granted absolution and eternal life if one will follow Jesus Christ. To renew the faith and keep ourselves on course with the promised life, we celebrate this holy day.

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.
