The pageant will be performed at St John’s Church on Good Friday at 3pm.
TRALEE’S annual Good Friday Pageant will be performed once again in the Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Castle Street, at 3pm this Friday, April 7.
The pageant is part of the traditional Good Friday ceremony that commemorates the Crucifixion and Death of Jesus Christ. This dramatic presentation of the Good Friday Gospel will be ‘staged’ by the Parish Liturgy Drama Group.
It will be performed in mime with narrators telling the story of the capture, condemnation, sentencing, scourging and crucifixion of Jesus Christ and of the heartbreak of his mother, Mary, and the very small group of early Christian followers.

Forty actors based in the greater Tralee area make up the Group. People of various ages, from 10 years to 80, have been faithfully rehearsing for many weeks and the ‘performance’ will be greatly enhanced by up to 30 members of the St John the Baptist Parish Choir under the direction of Michael O’Shea.
People who might be unable to attend the Good Friday ceremony, or any other Easter ceremony, may view it/them on the parish website.
