During the Easter period, the Nazareth Village staff and volunteers performed a moving rendition of the Passion of Jesus...

Visitors marvelled as the key aspects of the Easter account were acted out in authentic costume against the background of our faithful recreation of 1st Century Nazareth.

Joseph Main, Chief Executive of The Nazareth Trust, attended one of the occasions and commented "I was astonished at the impact this has had upon me. It was genuinely compelling to 'witness' Jesus wash the disciples' feet, see the transaction of betrayal in front of the synagogue, watch the trial and suffering of our Lord as he stumbled towards His crucifixion before ultimately having the women actually brush past me in confounded excitement at finding the tomb empty.

It feels like a great privilege to have seen these things with my own eyes - and only reinforces the significance of the Nazareth Village to the worldwide Christian community".
