The Passion

These pages explore this stunning retelling of the passion of Jesus in words, images and video. Originally shown over Easter 2008, this BBC drama tells the story of the final week in the life of Jesus.

Seven last sayings

Jesus hung on the cross for six hours before he died. In that time, he spoke to his friends, to the criminal crucified next to him, and to God. They are the last words he spoke before he died. These pages present Jesus' seven last sayings in seven short movies. Links to the animations are found below, links to the text are found to the right.

These pages give you an opportunity to get close enough to the man at the centre of it all to ask some personal questions. Such as: why did Jesus suffer and die? What was his life all about? What difference does it make?
