The Passion staged in 2014 was a world first – a 24 hour re-enactment brilliantly staged in the beautiful grounds of Nicker church and surrounding area.
Some 5,000 travelled from near and far to see it. Eamon Harty directed an incredible cast that included local man Garry Fraher. He poured his heart and soul into his portrayal of Jesus which left him drained mentally and physically.
