Title: The Mater and the Essenes
A Sacred Drama for the Easter season.
A story of supreme love and sacrifice in the service of others.

Saturday, March 8, 7:00 - 8:30 pm

Picture for Easter Written and performed by Irish-born actor, author and playwright Mark Finnan

THE MASTER AND THE ESSENES is a story of God's consciousness in the earth and of the reclusive Essenes and the important part this sect played in the birth of Christianity.

Combining his own spiritual journey and research with his earlier work in theatre, Mark's solo performance powerfully evokes a sense of that extraordinary time through the portrayal of a wandering Greek actor who saw, heard and followed Yeshua of Nazareth as he walked, taught and healed in ancient Palestine.

What was it like to encounter and be healed by that extraordinary man, who taught that God is Love, that we should love each other - and who forever changed the consciousness of mankind and the course of human history?

This story is relevant today as we seek healing, purpose and wholeness in a challenging and ever-changing world. Yet a world in which the Christ Spirit is increasingly awakening in the minds, hearts and actions of so many.

THE MASTER and THE ESSENES has a timely focus for anyone who believes we are now experiencing the birth-pains of a new era of enlightenment on this earth. Travel back through the timeless arts of theatre and sacred music to a place within your soul, where the memory remains and awaits to be recalled ~ of the glory of your own divinity.
