Passion Week, Pt. 10 // On Saturday, Jesus's body is buried and the tomb is secured.

Passion Week, Pt. 9 // In the third and final act of Good Friday, Jesus is flogged and crucified. The darkness that covered the land during Jesus’ crucifixion is a sign that he was bearing the judgment of God for the sins of the world.

Passion Week, Pt. 8 // The second act of Good Friday is the Roman trial of Jesus where he receives a “not guilty” verdict from Pilate and Herod Antipas. The crowd insists on Jesus’ execution and Pilate, more afraid of the people than Jesus, gave into their will.
