The play involved a parade up the steep slopes with stops along the way to re-tell the Good Friday events of over two thousand years ago.
The part of Jesus was played by David Harris, churchwarden, and the cast included the church choir.
Following the Easter ascent, there was a short reflective service at St Michael's.
