Passion Week

The Triumphal Entry

A King on a colt, a road of cloaks and palm branches, and a city that did not know its day.

Cleansing the Temple

Doves released, tables overturned, and a Lord who would not let His Father's house be a den of thieves.

The Last Supper

An old Passover and a new covenant — bread broken, cup poured, feet washed, a new commandment given.

Gethsemane

A sleeping company, a cup that would not pass, and a sentence that has carried millions: “not my will, but thine, be done.”

Trial and Denial

False witnesses, a high priest's robe rent, a fire in the courtyard — and a cock crowing twice.

The Cross

Crown of thorns, sky turned dark, a cry of forsakenness — and the veil of the temple rent in twain.

The Tomb

Joseph of Arimathea's borrowed tomb, a Roman seal — and a Saturday's silence between two world-changing days.

The Resurrection

The stone rolled away, an empty grave-cloth, and the Lord saying her name in a garden.
