A hundred actors will represent 'The Passion of Christ' in San Francisco de Asís church

The celebration of the Holy Week in Benidorm will incorporate this year the representation of 'The Passion of Christ', in charge of the Cultural Group Jerusalem of Elche, a work declared of Tourist Interest. This has been announced today by the councilor of Fiestas, Jesús Carrobles, accompanied by the representative of the theater group, Antonio Coll, and the Elder Brother of the Brotherhood of Christ of Forgiveness and Good Death, Jesús Rosillo Jiménez, who also holds this year the presidency of the Board of Brotherhoods of the Holy Week in Benidorm.

Carrobles recalled that it had been more than a decade that passion was not represented in the city and that, for the occasion, it has a cast of "more than 100 actors" to perform, in front of the 600 people that fit into the Church of San Francisco de Asis, a "unique work" to which "all people from Benidorm and the people who spend Holy Week among us are invited".

Although the acts of Holy Week began days ago with talks and the presentation on March 8 of the official poster, a work by the local artist José Albero, tomorrow Friday, in the parish of La Almudena, will take place the reading of announcement , by the priest, Jesús Rosillo Peñalver, beginning of the celebrations in Benidorm.
