Great Lent ends with a bright, joyful holiday - Easter, which is awaited by all Christians in different parts of the world. Easter marks the victory of good over evil, life over death. On Bright Sunday, we greet our family and friends with the words: "Christ is Risen!" and we hear in response: "Indeed he is risen!" Children are also looking forward to the arrival of Easter, because it will be possible to decorate Easter cakes, paint eggs, and have fun at the festive table. In kindergartens, general education and Sunday schools, they stage skits for Easter, in which children will be happy to take part, and at the same time they will get acquainted with Christian traditions and learn the history of the great holiday. They can also be played at home to please loved ones.

You will help me, I know.

Scene for high school students "The Secret Disciple of Christ"
Acting characters:
- Ruth;
- Joseph;
- leading.
Leading:
Now we will tell a story about Joseph, who was a secret disciple of Jesus Christ.
Ruth lays the table on stage, excitedly wipes her forehead with her hand.
Ruth:
Why has Joseph been gone for so long? What could have happened?
Joseph enters.
Joseph:
Ruth dear, I have bad news.
Ruth:
Joseph, I was so worried, where did you go? What happened?
Joseph:
They want to kill him!
Ruth:
Whom?
Joseph:
Our Jesus Christ.
Ruth:
But why? How do you know?
Joseph:
Something incomprehensible is going on. They seized Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, took him to the house of Caiaphas, and beat him there. Herods, Herods …
Ruth:
Joseph, maybe this is some kind of mistake. Did they want to grab someone else, not Jesus?
Joseph:
Oh, Ruth, just recently Jesus walked the streets, and people threw themselves at his feet and shouted eulogies. And today these very people want to kill him.
Ruth:
How terrible life has become, nobody can be trusted. People have become enemies to each other.
Joseph:
Jesus did so many good things, helped everyone who needed help. I myself saw how he fed a huge crowd with only two fish and five loaves of bread.
Ruth:
Joseph, Jesus is not just a man, he is the Son of God!
Joseph:
I sincerely believe in this, I myself heard him say: "Farewell, and you will be forgiven." Only the Most High could pronounce these words so sincerely, with faith …
Ruth:
But Joseph, if they find out that you are a secret disciple of Christ, you can also be killed.
Joseph:
I know that the worst can happen to me, but I will never give up my Teacher.
Joseph and Ruth leave the stage, loud music is heard, the lights are turned off for a second. Our heroes are coming back.
Joseph:
What a woe, our Jesus Christ is no more!
Ruth:
I know honey, it's so scary, how could this even happen?
Joseph:
I will immediately go to Pilate and be on my knees to ask him to allow the Teacher to be buried in the tomb.
Ruth:
But you know that those crucified on the cross are not buried in tombs?
Joseph:
I'll go anyway!
Leading:
Joseph ran to Pontius Pilate in the palace. He prayed and cried that Pontius would allow Jesus to be buried in the tomb, and he had mercy and allowed. Jesus was taken down from the cross, smeared with incense, wrapped in clean cloth and placed in a new coffin, which stood in the garden, and then the doors of the tomb were closed with a heavy stone.
Ruth and Joseph are on the stage again.
Joseph:
Ruth dear, Jesus rose from the dead! He fulfilled his promise, because he said that he would rise again on the third day.
Ruth:
Wait, but you yourself put his body in the coffin?
Joseph:
The women came with flowers to the tomb: the stone was pushed aside, there was no body in the coffin. And an Angel sits next to him, who told the good news.
Ruth (to the audience):
Let's rejoice together! Jesus has resurrected!
The Angel and the disciples, dressed in long, light-colored robes, rise onto the stage. They have flowers in their hands.Everyone is singing an Easter song:
Jesus is risen, Christ is risen,
He brought us so much good.
He taught us all to love
It is sacred to honor the laws of God.
Jesus is risen, Jesus is risen,
He descended to people from heaven.
He showed us miracles
And flew to heaven.
Jesus lives in our hearts
He loves and protects everyone.
Easter joy descended on us,
How much love and warmth she brought!
