The passion of Christ begun in the Garden of Gethsemane, after the Last Supper. As Jesus was praying with his apostles, Judas appeared with many soldiers, and betrayed him with a kiss. Jesus was brought to Pontius Pilate to have him condemned to death.
Pilate realized that Jesus did nothing wrong, but he was afraid of the people; so he ordered Jesus first to be scourged and crucified.
Upon reaching the Golgotha, the soldiers crucified Jesus together with two robbers. At three in the afternoon, Jesus cries out: "My God, my god, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46). Then he yielded up his spirit.
When evening came, Joseph of Arimathea, the Virgin Mary and other pious women, took the body of Jesus, wrapped it in a clean shroud, and put it in the tomb. They rolled a large stone across the entrance of the womb and went away.
