Easter Encounters: Drama & Poetry for Primary & Secondary schools

Let's go back nearly two thousand years, to a big city in the backwater province of Palestine. Many people in the city of Jerusalem were about to have an encounter with a man they would never, ever forget. Even though Pilate washed his hands of an innocent man, how could he ever forget his conversation about truth with the 'King of the Jews'? A soldier would always remember the words of the man on the cross. But, that's not all. This man died and was buried. Three days later people encountered the same man – alive. Surely, that was an encounter that they would never forget. And this man's name was Jesus.
