Besides the sing-alongs we did on repeat, there were always a lot of “special songs” performed by various church members. None of them was actually anything special. We sang all of them at Revival meetings throughout the year, not just on Easter. Sometimes we’d have a Passion Play telling the story of the crucifixion. That depended on the feelings of the “Minster of Music” at the time. Some liked putting on plays, some didn’t. One year we had a 45 minute video of Bible scholars talking about the Resurrection and its impact. Another time, the pastor used a cross as a prop to explain how Jesus died of asphyxiation. His performance included him simulating the sounds of strangling to death through his microphone. Many of the ladies were bawling by the end. So were most of the terrified kids. https://orthodoxreflections.com/growing-up-disappointed-in-easter/
