Father Ho Lung and Friends’ latest stage musical production Jesus 2025 will climax on Sunday, October 5, 2025 with two stagings — 2:00 pm and 6:30 pm at the National Arena in St Andrew — capping two weeks of performances that have attracted large audiences.

On Saturday, Ho Lung issued an appeal to Jamaicans who have not yet seen the show to attend as the funds generated by ticket sales will help his Missionaries of the Poor to offer better care to the people in the eight homes they operate in Jamaica.

Ho Lung has told the Jamaica Observer that he and his fellow missionaries are struggling to provide food, toiletries, personal hygiene products, and other necessities for the hundreds of people living in the homes.

Since its opening performance on September 24, Jesus 2025 has been seen by thousands of people who have been impressed by the production.

“There’s a sketch of the early days of Christian faith; the very creation of the world is depicted and it’s classical in ways, but [a] strong and powerful opening. And then little scenes are depicted, like for instance, David and Goliath; the prodigal son; Moses and the parting of the Red Sea; and then there is the birth of Jesus right through his life up to the crucifixion and the resurrection and ascension into heaven,” Ho Lung told the Observer in a previous interview, adding that “the music, which is very Jamaican and very modern, changes according to what’s being depicted”.

“It is really a presentation that’s spectacular, a lot of special effects, a lot of incredibly beautiful dancing and the dances are depicting stories within the story also. And then, of course, the singing is marvellous,” said Ho Lung.

“I think people will marvel at the scene where Jesus is crucified and is lifted down from the cross, and when nails go through His hand… and crowns of thorns are put on His head; beautiful and powerful scene,” Ho Lung said.

He also said that
Jesus 2025 will impart to audiences “the great compassionate heart that Christ had for any type of suffering”.
