Today the crowds of Trafalgar Square will once again this year find themselves enveloped by the events of Holy Week as Wintershall presents The Passion of Jesus.

Since its first performance in 2010, the awe-inspiring full-scale re-enactment of The Passion has quickly become a highly anticipated London Easter fixture, often drawing at least 20,000 people to the two performances.

The story commemorating the day Jesus was arrested, tried and crucified by the Romans, before miraculously rising from the dead on Easter Sunday, is brought to life by a cast of over a hundred, dressed in full costume, accompanied by horses, doves and even a donkey.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: “The Passion of Jesus has brought the Easter story to life in Trafalgar Square for the last 12 years and brings together thousands of people from all walks of life and backgrounds for an unforgettable Easter experience. This unique event allows everyone to celebrate our capital’s tolerance and diversity and inspires us to continue to work towards a fairer and better London for all.”
