Mt. Zion Church presents ‘The Passion of Mary: The Crucifixion Through A Mother’s Eyes,? a multi-media theater production opening this weekend.
Pastor Loren Covarrubias wrote the play, telling the story of Easter through the perspective of Mary, mother of Jesus.
‘A few years ago, my mother experienced the loss of her youngest child,? Covarrubias said. ‘I was pierced by her cry in that hospital ? it was this sound that inspired me to be aware of the pain of the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, Mary, when she lost her son, yet her need to surrender him to the will of God.?
The show, for ages 8 and older, features a large cast with video, live musicians, singers, and dancers.
