Passion of Christ

Passion of Christ
   The Passion refers to the suffering of Christ during the last days of his life, culminating in his Crucifixion and burial. It begins with his entry into Jerusalem and continues with the Last Supper, Agony in the Garden, betrayal of Judas and Christ's arrest, his trial before Caiaphas, his sentencing by Pontius Pilate, his Flagellation and mocking, the road to Calvary, Crucifixion, Deposition, and Entombment. These events are commemorated by Christians throughout the world during Holy Week, with Easter marking Christ's Resurrection. As the basic tenet of Christianity, the scenes from the Passion are among the most often depicted in art as a way to translate visually the narratives from the Gospels to instruct the faithful.
