Anybody else go to this yesterday? It was cold, cold, cold, but lovely. The actor playing Jesus, James Burke-Dunsmore, was amazing. There was a very good review in the Independant here Sitting on the cold ground was very uncomfortable, I think next time I will stand. At the end the Bishop of Westminster led us all (around 5,000) in The Lord's Prayer. Amazing feeling of witness and fellowship. Just really interested in anyone else's view, or whether there were other outdoor Passions that people went to.

I saw this featured in the papers earlier. I can't find the link I was looking at earlier, but here's one from the Daily Mail with some great photos. It looks amazing. Glad it got a good turnout, they clearly put a lot into it.

Wintershall have been doing this for some years now. They do the same thing in Guildford on the Saturday after Good Friday - I came across it quite by chance a few years ago and deliberately went to see it for the last couple of years (I was with family yesterday so couldn't go). It is amazing and powerfully emotional.
They also do the Life of Christ and the Nativity at the Wintershall Estate at certain times - one day I'll go to one of those.

The Life of Christ is well worth seeing. I would warn you though that you need to be well prepared for the weather and sitting on the ground for hours. There is very little shelter and very little in terms of facilities.

Some years ago we went to the Winchester Passion - it was amazing, the streets flocked with people as the action made its way down from Oram's Arbour, through the Law Courts, to the Cathedral Green.
One of my 'deathbed memories' is going to be the whole crowd, thousands of us, singing 'Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom' at the Crucifixion scene, which took place up above the main door into the Cathedral.
Another year we went to the Southampton Passion, but that failed to move me in the same way and I really can't tell you why.
Mrs. S, still getting the goosebumps

Don't get your knickers in a twist over your advancing age. It achieves nothing and makes you walk funny.
Prayer should be our first recourse, not our last resort
'Lord, please give us patience. NOW!'

Unfortunately whenever I hear the words Winchester & Cathedral I then get stuck with this for hours.
