All four Gospels slow down for the same week: Jesus rides into JERUSALEM on a DONKEY, shares the LASTSUPPER with his DISCIPLES, prays in GETHSEMANE, stands trial before PILATE and is crucified at CALVARY. On the third day the women find the TOMB empty. This word find follows that narrative in order. The site's Easter grid covers the celebration, from bonnets to sunrise services; this one is the story itself.
Frequently asked questions
What order do the words follow?
Roughly the week itself: arrival in JERUSALEM on Palm Sunday, the LASTSUPPER on Thursday, the arrest in GETHSEMANE after the BETRAYAL, the trial, the cross at CALVARY and the empty TOMB on Easter morning.
Why is it called Calvary?
CALVARY comes from the Latin word for skull. The Gospels give the Aramaic name, Golgotha, which means the place of the skull.
