Good Friday Live Crucifixion Portrayal to Take Place on Reynolds Farm on Route 50 West

The annual Good Friday live crucifixion portrayal will take place Friday, April 18, beginning at dusk. Organized by Reynoldsville Baptist Church decades ago, the portrayal draws hundreds of viewers annually. The event takes place on the Reynolds farm on Route 50 West, just across from the Route 98/Davisson Run/Sun Valley exit. 

Three bodies appear on the wooden crosses etched against the skyline. For hours, folks can safely pull their vehicles out of traffic, stop, and reflect on the ultimate sacrifice that preceded that blessed resurrection morning, which we celebrate annually as Easter.

The Good Friday event has been taking place for more than 40 years. A number of area churches are now involved. The spotlights will be turned off momentarily at 30-minute intervals as participants are switched out. The portrayal will likely go on until about 11 p.m.  

So as not to interfere with traffic flow, spectators must pull off the roadway – down into the Reynolds farm, just across Route 50 from the Davisson Run intersection, as will be marked.
