From Darkness to Light - Best Easter Skits for Church

What
From Darkness to Light is a visually driven Easter drama that uses contrast between darkness and light to tell the story of Jesus Christ—from a broken world in need of hope, through His ministry and sacrifice, to the victory of the resurrection. Rather than relying on heavy dialogue alone, the skit communicates meaning through atmosphere, movement, and transformation.

Theme
