From the East Valley Tribune -
Work on outdoor Easter pageant under way
“He’s a Queen Creek garbage collector by day, and Jesus by night. And Robert Allen, who portrays Christ in what’s dubbed the largest annual outdoor Easter pageant in the world, takes both jobs quite seriously.”
From Robert -
The Mesa Arizona Easter Pageant, “Jesus the Christ,” presents the life, ministry, and mission of Jesus Christ through music, dance, and drama. This presentation is for all religions, ages, and cultures.
What began as an Easter sunrise service on top of a cotton wagon in 1928, has now become the largest, annual, outdoor Easter Pageant in the world.
IT IS FREE TO THE PUBLIC … NO ADMISSION CHARGE, AND NO TICKETS REQUIRED (AS WELL AS NO DONATIONS ACCEPTED). THIS IS A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION OF EASTER.
“Jesus the Christ” is not a passion play focusing on the crucifixion, rather a celebration of the resurrection of the Savior.
Each year, people travel from throughout the world to see this spirit-filled and beautiful one-hour outdoor production.
