Every Easter the Mesa Arizona Temple hosts the Easter Pageant. A huge stage is built on the grounds and a cast of hundreds of people are assembled of all ages. Nicole wants her and I to try out for it next year. The pageant begins by showing Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, discussing our beginning and need for a Savior. We then are taken to a simple manger watching the shepherds and wise men come to visit. There are live animals also. The kids loved seeing the sheep and the doves fly over our heards. We follow Jesus through his life, ministry, choosing apostles, miracles, parables. This is all done through words, music and dancing. It is beautiful! As we watched Jesus' last week of His life with the Garden of Gethsemane, the trial and crucifixion it was humbling and very moving to really see first hand what it was like. Although it was actors, I could feel the spirit of the Lord letting me know that these events actually occurred. We heard the nails being driven into His hands and saw Him on the cross. But the beautiful finale was Jesus resurrected in all His glory and the angels singing praises.
HE IS RISEN!
