Every Good Friday, in Walsall Town Centre, the story of the passion of Christ is re-enacted. This year the march started from outside the new Art Gallery and proceeded down the main shopping street, finishing at a busy open area. Many Christians from local churches join the march and play the part of the crowd who followed Jesus to where he was crucified.
There are scripted parts by the Roman soldiers, Bible readings and worship songs throughout. It is an amazing opportunity to demonstrate very graphically to the shoppers the Good Friday story, which is a bank holiday in UK.
This year was especially meaningful for me, standing in the warm sunshine, singing familiar songs for the first time in a few months, and meeting up with many friends along the way.
