We celebrated the 79th Annual Easter Pageant on the campus of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor on Wednesday, March 28, 2018. The pageant is a passion play, and it’s a great way to add flesh-and-bone to the story of the Gospel.

Here are some of our favorite posts from the pageant:

Another truly memorable and heartfelt performance of the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Happy Easter, from the UMHB Yearbook! #UMHBEP79 #umhb pic.twitter.com/thOa7qgfW9

All year has led up to this moment… the day where we can finally take a full costume of the last supper. #yourewelcomematt Warning: the next posts about Easter Pageant will be much sappier.

This experience was much harder and an even big blessing than I could have ever imagined. I’m drained physically & emotionally. I’m so thankful to attend a university that’s so passionate about spreading the gospel & sharing the love of Christ to the world. I’m so grateful to be a part of that along with my close friends and peers. Easter Pageant is one of the greatest traditions I’ve ever experienced & my heart is overwhelmed. God is SO so good. Tetelestai. #umhbep79 💗#myumhb
