This skit picks up soon after the crucifixion of Jesus, and is told through the eyes of John, the beloved disciple.  John and Peter are contemplating how such a tragic event could have happened and why Jesus didn't stop it, even though he had the power to do so.  In the midst of their discussion, Mary Magdalene rushes in claiming Jesus is not in the tomb.  Later, we discover Jesus has risen from the grave, and he appears to Mary and the other disciples.  He talks to them of how he will send a comforter and that they should preach and teach in his name.  In the end, Jesus makes his ascension to heaven.

This skit picks up as Jesus is entering Jerusalem and the people are waving palm branches at him. The story is told through the eyes of John, the beloved disciple.  As Jesus nears Jerusalem the people are greatly anticipating his arrival, waving palm branches and calling him the "deliverer" and "King Jesus."  But not everyone is happy at Jesus' arrival: the Pharisees see how easily Jesus leads the people and develop a plot to kill him. When Jesus tells of one who will soon betray him, John can't believe it, until he sees it with his own eyes.  Soon, the Pharisees enter the garden where Jesus was praying, and arrest him.  John describes the scene at the foot of the cross, as he wonders how such a thing could have happened to his friend and teacher, not knowing that the best was yet to come.

King Edward Maubry and his daughter, Princess Audra, live happily in the Kingdom of Templar.  Everything a princess could want is within the her father's realm.  The only rule that must be obeyed is to stay within the boundaries of the kingdom, for only mischief and evil reside outside the king's land.  When Audra begins to question her father's rule she is warned that only separation and heartache will follow her but she is also told she is not a prisoner within the kingdom and she is free to leave as she chooses.  Although Audra was tempted to leave, she abided by her father's rule.  That is, until one day Audra hears a soft and gentle voice coming from the castle courtyard.  A man appears who seems kind (but who is really a fire breathing dragon in disguise) convinces Audra to leave the boundaries of the kingdom.  She soon learns that no freedom comes without a high price.

Who is to blame for the crucifixion of Jesus?  Five characters stand ready to accuse each other, each claiming they are not to blame.  Loosely based on Biblical characters such as Peter, Pilate, Judas, and the Chief Priests, these characters are the "Everyman," and could easily be any one of us.  Each character feels someone else is to blame, when in fact they all had their hand in sending Jesus to the cross.  In the end, the characters and the audience as well, come to realize we are all to blame; however, none of us stand accused, since Jesus willingly died for each one of us out of love.
