the famous Parade of Jesi:

5 out of a possible 30 or so

1. The Christ from Play #23
   (Poculi Ludique Societas; U of T):

   My first Christ. The colours were dazzling, although I arrived too late to figure out what was going on.

   
   
   

2. The Christ from Play #35
   (Sacred Stone Players; N.C.):

   It took four soft-spoken southerners to raise this Christ upright, but I think it was worth it.

   
   
   
   
   

3. The Christ from Play #36
   (Dept. of Mathematics; U of T):

   Our Scott, clad only in a loin cloth. You can't tell, but he's saying, "Woman. Cease thy lamentations." No, really.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

4. The Christ from Play #37
   (Department of English; West Virginia):

   This one had to keep shouting to keep from being upstaged by the Merry Widow-clad Devils trying to keep him in Hell. But overall, he was a Christ who knew how to kick some ass. And really, what more do you want in a Messiah?

   
   

5. The Christ from Play #39
   (Department of Drama; Birmingham (UK)):

   I have never seen a better example of the flaxon-haired, ruddy-cheeked Saxon lad that William Blake mocked in Jerusalem. He looked like the kind of God who'd heal a few lepers, wolf down a dinner of bangers n' mash, and then out for a quick round of football with the lads. Wonderful accent, too. Pip pip!
