IHC Mystery Players Living Stations of the Cross

Lent calls to mind the many ancient traditions in the Catholic Church, one being the Stations of the Cross. The Immaculate Heart Central High School Mystery Players from Watertown, New York, present, in a very creative way, the centuries-old stations. Meditation and contemplation on the death and resurrection of Jesus is the central mystery in the prayer life of the Catholic Church. The Mystery Plays of the Middle Ages focused on the presentation of this central mystery. Connected to ancient Mystery Plays, the IHC Mystery Players bring the stations to the modern level through the use of special lighting, music, pantomime, and para-liturgical readings. Using the sanctuary of the church as a stage, the Paschal Mystery is recreated in a moving, dramatic presentation.

This group has performed extensively throughout New York State, as well as in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Connecticut, and Canada. They will perform at Pope John XXIII Roman Catholic Church (8290 Soule Road, Liverpool, NY) on Friday, March 24th at 7:30pm. We strongly encourage everyone to attend this unique and powerful prayer experience.

Please be advised that small children may be frightened due to the nature of the play. Please refrain from taking pictures during the actual event.
