Publisher's Synopsis
I have always loved the Easter story and it touches my heart more deeply than any other story from the Bible. I feel connected to each person and sense their emotional and spiritual energy in ways my mind cannot comprehend.On Good Friday in 2018 I spent three hours, from noon until 3:00pm, standing, sitting and walking around the sanctuary of Unity Church in Albany (NY) with the hope that I would be able to connect spiritually and come to a greater understanding of the events surrounding Easter. I sensed a strength, peace and clarity and felt a 'knowing' arrive within me, as if I were present during that time. It felt intimate and real and I wanted very much to capture each of the stories so that they could be shared with the world. Over the next several weeks I received the words you are about to read. But more than the words, I received the beauty, grace and loving heart that was and is the center of each of these stories. I do not ask you to believe me. I ask only that you read the words and let them reveal to you what truth they have to share.There are two versions. The first is the story as I received it, with highlighted text to make it easier to see what was spoken. And the second is a version that can be used, should you wish, to perform this as a play or reader's theater.I hope that these stories come alive for you and that the profound love Yeshiwa (Jesus) has for you flows into your heart. May it be so.
