Opening narration:
“Ladies and gentlemen. You are about to hear a trial — a trial which takes place every nightfall of Good Friday, in every courtroom of the world. The facts of the case are simple enough. A man who claimed to be God died, like any man would die, on the cross where he was crucified. But this man claimed that on the third day he would rise from death and prove thereby that he was God. The facts will never change — only the people who conduct these trials will change.
“There will be prosecutors…and defenders…witnesses and members of the jury. There will be doubters and unbelievers…there shall be among them, also, the humble and those with faith. This is a trial — not so much of the hapless gardener accused at bar tonight, but a trial of conscience, faith, and even common sense.
