Hundreds gathered in Sydney today to witness a re-enactment of scenes from Jesus' crucifixion in a Christian religious performance to mark Good Friday.

Actors belonging to the Wesley Mission performed a stage show before the actor playing Jesus, Brendan Paul, carried a cross through the Sydney streets.

Easter celebrations for Christians are expected to continue all weekend, culminating in traditional Easter Sunday services.
