The Barnwell Passion Play at Hagood is one of only 4
venues that actually have an ascention during live
performance. Others simulate an ascention but this one is
unique. In 1997 one commentator asked, "How did you put
the image of Jesus on the wall and make it look like he
was ascending?" If not for the vision, planning, and wall to
some. Thanks to men and women with vision and
determination!
