The Passion Play.. - Peroni - 04-10-2007
On Friday, we performed the passion play at Bury St Edmunds Cathedral
Members of the Colchester Roman Society and guests from the Roman Military Research Society provided the soldiery, and assisted in the ‘kitting-out’ of some church members.
It made the BBC news too!
A video can be seen here..

Hang on! If you nailed Christ up then who was it I nailed up on Friday? :lol:
Just to prove how versatile and vicious the RMRS can be we did the big fella in Leicester as well. Seems there's no where safe for a Galilean Rebel to hang out these days.

What amazed me was that some individuals in the crowd got really caught up in it. One old lady came up and reverently touched the cross as it was taken through the city, another tried to chastise me for being so cruel to JC.
I threatened to cut her throat and I think she believed me :twisted:

I like this!
Just a few years ago I heard that Roman re-enactment in Italy was difficult due to criticism by the the church.. And there was also much hesitation about re-enacting the crucifiction.
The blood running freely seems to owe a lot to Mel Gibson..
And what's that? Leather armour???
