CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — For 80 years, Corpus Christi residents have gotten up before dawn on Easter Sunday to go to the Corpus Christi Bayfront to watch the Easter Sunrise Passion Play. It's a "stunning depiction" of the life of Jesus Christ.
Editor's Note: The above video is from last year's performance.
This weekend, rehearsals for the 81st annual play will begin and organizers need volunteers!
