As a way to commemorate Lent, the powerful story of Christ’s last days on earth is presented in this moving musical performance. From His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the agony in the garden, the crucifixion, to His glorious resurrection, His Last Days invites you to walk with Him on His final journey.
His Last Days has been performed on Good Friday yearly since 1989.
St. James began presenting the musical and the desire to attend and participate in the performance spread quickly across northwest Ohio and into Michigan.
