Passion of Christ
Calvary's redemptive agony
The Passion of Christ refers to the suffering and death of Jesus in the final hours before his crucifixion—from his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane through his arrest, trial, scourging, and death on the cross.
The term comes from a Latin word meaning suffering.
Passion plays dramatize these events, traditionally performed during Holy Week.
The narrative is central to Christian theology, representing sacrificial atonement for human sin.
