Well-loved Good Friday tradition gets boost
An annual Easter re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ will expand into a five-day event next month.
A spokeswoman for the Walk to Calvary Experience, which re-enacts the passion of Jesus Christ in St George's, said it was “a cultural, community-wide experience open to everyone, locals and visitors alike, to honour history, faith and togetherness”.
She added: “In 2025, the Walk to Calvary Experience expands into five days of culture, faith and fellowship, featuring diverse events designed to bring the community together.”
Organisers have partnered with BermudAir and the Grotto Bay resort to offer discounts to people visiting the island for the events between April 16 and 20.
