Holy Week – Friday

Walk with Jesus in his suffering and share in his resurrection during Holy Week. 

The Biblical verses below will lead you along Jesus’ path of Friday of Holy Week.

We have a number of commentaries below to supplement the scripture- some more like a  summary (What Happened on Friday, Holy Week Timeline), others descriptive (It is Finished). There is a link from "Progression of Faith" that includes a summary based on The Last Week (Borg/Crossan).  

There are three art supplements – Passion Gallery/Friday,  the focus on the Music of Good Friday – St. Matthew’s Passion, St. John’s Passion and the art of  Holy Week.
