SAN ANTONIO – Thousands of spectators were expected to line the streets of downtown San Antonio for the Good Friday tradition that recreates the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ — the Passion Play.
The procession started on Friday morning at Travis Park and ends at Main Plaza, where the reenactment took place in front of San Fernando Cathedral.
KSAT carried CTSA’s feed of the Passion Play from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday. The play can be seen below in its entirety.
The San Antonio Passion Play dates back to 1983, when the wooden cross carried by the actor playing Jesus weighed 150 pounds. A 50-pound cross is used today.
