We put up a production for the Chinese Easter service, on Saturday. It was an amazing feat. I heard that the script was written but only about a month ago. There were only 2proper rehearsals and the props and costumes were done up in less than a week.
The story is about Ah-ling, a fruit seller who encouters a schoolkid who's trying to sell him tickets to an Easter drama. Skeptical ah-ling who thinks Easter is about bunnies and eggs, mocks him and goes on with his own life. That night, Ah-ling is transported back into olden-day Jerusalem, the night that Jesus was being entombed. He witnesses the entombment to the resurrection of Jesus. And then Easter suddenly makes sense to him.
Here're some snapshots!
Undertakers hoisting the body of Jesus.
Jewish commoners grieving over the death of Jesus. Modern-day Ah-ling stands by and watch.
The Roman soldier guarding the tomb of Jesus.
Jesus is Alive! and stunned ah-ling falls to the ground.
