Celebrate the greatest event in history!
Join us for RESURRECTION, an event that has become an Easter tradition in Scotland, where Christians from across the central belt come together to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus through a powerful evening of music and worship.
Held annually in the iconic Usher Hall, home to the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival, this event is a joyous proclamation of the central truth of the Gospel: Christ is risen.
Led by the Origin Scotland band, choir, and orchestra, RESURRECTION unites believers from all denominations in a time of heartfelt praise and worship. It's more than just a concert; it's a gathering of the Church, where voices rise as one in celebration of the hope and victory we find in the resurrection of Jesus.
Join us this Easter Sunday for an evening that will renew your faith, fill you with joy, and unite us all around the greatest truth of our faith. Let the music move you, the message inspire you, and the atmosphere uplift you as we declare to the world the glory of the risen Christ.
