This Easter morning, I will be doing a live dramatization of the crucifixion and resurrection before a congregation in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have done this Holy Week drama dressed in Roman armor during the Lent/Easter for about thirty years in various locations in Canada and United States. But this is the first time I have done this “Centurion’s Report” presentation in Winnipeg.

Easter Sunday is an ideal time to view this one-man drama since Act 4 concludes with a portrayal of Jesus’ resurrection, and the turmoil and amazement it caused among the Roman soldiers and their centurion commander. See Matthew 27:62-66 and Matthew 28:1-1-15.  This is the same centurion who in Act 3 of this drama confesses at the foot of the cross that Jesus is “the Son of God.” See Matthew 27:54.

“The Centurion’s Report” drama became the springboard for my award-winning biblical novel The Soldier Who Killed a King.

This Easter wherever you are take a journey to the cross and the empty tomb.

Marvel and rejoice. Jesus is alive!


Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.

If you’ve heard the story of Passion Week so often it’s become stale, now is the time to rediscover the terrible events leading from Jesus’s humble ride into the city to his crucifixion. The Soldier Who Killed a King will stun you afresh with how completely Christ’s resurrection changed history, one life at a time.

Centurion's Report, drama, resurrection, the cross

Over the last 25 years, I have done this drama production over a hundred times all across the continent. It never grows old because the story of the cross and the resurrection are life renewing.

It will be exciting to see people respond to the core message of the gospel.

Soldier book

Christ’s Passion Week…a familiar account? So you think you know this story? Think again. There are more twists in this plot than in the cruelest crowns of thorns. This author takes you on a fast-paced ride through Christ’s Passion Week-an eight-day ride you will never forget. Scheming Herod, the bloody Fox, has more than one trick up his sleeve. The high priest and the governor are at each other’s throats. Four kings, together in the holy city for one week, compete for one
throne. Now here’s a deadly competition.

Written from a soldier’s perspective, you see a familiar story in a whole new light. Here is the horror of the cross, up close and graphic. While remaining true to the scriptural account, the author weaves with startling realism a very human tale of intrigue and subterfuge. There is a more than a little passion here. Did we mention the terrorist connection? So, you think you know how this ends? Ha! Think again! Have you been to the foot of the cross lately? Come, if you dare.

Author bio: 
For a number of years now, David Kitz has been telling the soldier’s view of these events in a one-man play entitled, “The Centurion’s Report.”
