Let's get CROSS about Easter
Worcester Passion Play will be distributing 1000 Hot Cross Buns to Worcestershire hospitals, hospices and hostels on Good Friday 2021, pointing forward to the good news of Easter.
Did you know that the cross on the bun represents the crucifixion and the spices used in the cooking represents the spices used to embalm the body of Christ.
(The Hot Cross Buns kindly donated by Sainsbury’s)
This is a community event which we hope will feature in the Worcester calendar for years to come for the enjoyment of all.
As a community project we are not funded and depend on your support to make it work. The Worcester Passion Play is a registered charity and we would be grateful for any donation to enable us to develop this unique event in the interests of the community.

Coming Soon...
We are arranging a number of activities over the coming weeks which will be posted on this website and social media. One of which will be a film released on Good Friday of the story of the 2020 Worcester Passion Play as well as the full performance of the 2019 Trafalgar Square Passion Play with an introduction from Cardinal Vincent Nichols and the Bishop of London
In 2022 Worcester will be one of 10 cities across the UK participating in the “One Good Friday” initiative. At 10.30 on Good Friday the Passion of Christ as performed by Wintershall in Trafalgar Square every year since 2010 will be brought to life simultaneously throughout the UK.
The re-enactment of the Passion of Jesus including a moving crucifixion and resurrection has been watched by an estimated 180,000 people in Trafalgar Square over the past 9 years. The performance has been streamed with an additional 300,000 people watching the performance online in many countries across the world. It is our intention that the Worcester Passion Play becomes an annual event in the Worcester calendar.
The famous Wintershall Passion play has been performed in Trafalgar Square London on Good Friday every year since 2010. This is an
