(Mylene, Jenny Rose, Khryle Ann and Princess enter together with Von
on the cross)
Mylene: My son, my son, what they have done to you? (intense cry)
Alvin: Governor Pilate, I came here with respect to ask if I can keep the
body of Jesus.
Edrean: Is Jesus dead? Is he truly dead?
Alvin: Woman of Jesus, may I ask for your help in taking down the body
of Jesus?
Princess and Jenny Rose: Yes, it is for our lord Jesus Christ. (Both still
crying)
(Three of them will carefully wrap the body of Jesus with white linen)
(Background music is played throughout the act until Von is fully wrap)
Narrator: All this happen on Friday, the day of preparation, the day before
the Sabbath day.
Narrator: The next evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene,
Solome and Mary mother of James went out to purchase burial spices.
Early Sunday morning, they came to the tomb.
Jenny Rose: Mary Magdalene, who will gonna open the tomb? It is very
difficult for us since it is made of stone?
Khryle: Yes, Mary Magdalene, we have no power and strength to move
that stone.
(They reach the tomb, they will be in doubt that the stone had already
been moved and afraid of Claudine)
Khryle: Look, the stone has been rolled. (Face in doubt and surprised)
Claudine: Do not be surprised, you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene,
who was crucified. He isn’t here! He has been raised from the dead! Now
go and give this message to His disciples, Jesus is going to Galilee. You
will see him there, just as He told you before He died!
Narrator: The women fled from the tomb trembling and afraid, saying
nothing to anyone in a reason that they are too frighten to talk. They
when to the disciples of Jesus.
Paul: How come Jesus came back from the dead, we saw it with our eyes
that he had died!
Princess: The angel of God told us and we saw it with our own eyes that
he is not in His tomb. (still afraid)
Narrator: The women and the disciples of God go to Galilee to see the
risen Jesus Christ.
(Von will pass through Princess, Khryle, Jenny Rose, Paul, Lesther and
Alvin)
(All 5 will not recognize Von at first but they will realize that it was Von)
(All kneel)
Von: Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone,
everywhere. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But
anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These signs will
accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in My name,
and they will speak new languages. They will be able to handle snakes
with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them.
They will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them.”
Mylene: My son! You came back from the dead! Your father in heaven
did not break His promise. Rejoice and be glad my Son because the
heaven had helped you!
Von: Mother, be glad your Son has risen! However, I will go back to my
Father in heaven.
