KRO-NCRV, a broadcasting organisation in the Netherlands, announced that the event known as The Passion will take place in Ootmarsum, a city in the Twente region, next spring.
The Passion retells the story of Easter and will be filmed around the church square and in the centre of Ootmarsum, as well as at other locations in the Dinkelland municipality. The Poaskearls, a group of eight men who traditionally prepare for Easter in Ootmarsum, revealed the news.
Burgemeester John Joosten, the mayor of Ootmarsum, expressed his pride that the large event would come to his city, noting that rumours had already circulated on social media. The Passion began in 2011, initially held in larger Dutch cities, but expanded to the smaller village of Dwingeloo this year. KRO-NCRV director Arie Koornneef said Ootmarsum’s enduring Easter traditions and sense of community made it a fitting location. NPO 1 will broadcast the Ootmarsum performance live on March 25.
This will be the second time The Passion has been held in the province of Overijssel, following an event in Enschede in 2015.
