Passion of Christ
 The Passion of Christ is the story told by Christians detailing the events and suffering of Jesus in the final days of his life. Jesus, a religious teacher and leader, arrives in Jerusalem a few days before Passover and is hailed as the messiah. Within a few short days he is arrested by the Romans, mocked by the people, betrayed by his followers, and executed by public crucifixion, the most shameful death of the time. Christ's passion, from the Latin word patior meaning to suffer or endure, is a story about doubt, fear and injustice. The Passion is referred to the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The tale is told at Easter and brings hope to all Christians. |
