Passion of Christ – Shooting day

Passion of Christ – Shooting day

“Palm Sunday is the World Youth Day from 1985. On this day, traditionally more than 100 young people act the passion of Christ outdoors at Tettye park in Pécs. due to the pandemic, this year the Diocese of Pécs has initiated a movie version with amateur actors with strict pandemic regulations. Four children from Pécs 2 group have participated on 13th March: András Dömölki and Zsombor Barkóczy as legionaries, and Izabella Varga and Melodi Balla as crying ladies from the mob. It was a long and pleasant casting day.” András Gál, mentor

„On Saturday we have participated in a casting about the Passion of Christ. The shootings took place at All-Saint’s Church and its garden, where we could also encounter the crucifixion of Christ. The organizers did a great work and the production went well. I am happy that I could take part in this movie and I hope I will have a chance in the live performance too.”  Zsombor Barkóczy, Pécs 2 group

„We have been given a chance by our mentor to contribute and participate in the casting of an amateur movie, the Passion of Christ. We were really curios about what would happen, but the directors were really helpful in our roles, so we acted gladly. We had a great time during the shooting, hopefully we can continue live later.” Izabella Varga, Pécs 2 group
