Passion narratives

Passion narratives refer to the accounts of the final events in the life of Jesus Christ, particularly focusing on his suffering (or Passion), crucifixion, and death. Found in the New Testament, these narratives detail the events leading up to the Crucifixion, including Jesus’ betrayal, trial, and suffering. They aim to highlight themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the significance of Jesus’ death in Christian theology. The Passion narratives are central to the Easter story and are often recounted during Holy Week, reflecting on Christ’s ultimate sacrifice for humanity.
