The Passion of the Christ

In times of turmoil around the biblical 33 A.D., the threatening and equally seditious to both the Romans and the Jewish high priests, Jesus of Nazareth, is captured in the dead of night at the Garden of Gethsemane, after being betrayed by Judas Iscariot. Tried by the Pharisees and turned over to the priests and the angry mob after Pontius Pilate–the doubtful Roman governor–has washed his hands of the matter of Jesus’ freedom, the Son of God will eventually carry His cross to Golgotha to be crucified. In the end, following His final twelve hours on this earth, Christ will endure extreme suffering, torture–and, ultimately, death–in reparation for our sins, only to rise from the dead on the third day.
