Christ dies upon the cross (John 19:28-30)
Given its significance, the death of Christ is described in detail in all four gospels. From these we learn of Christ's last words.
Christ enters Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1-11)
Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, with cheering crowds waving palm branches, is celebrated by the Church on Palm Sunday.
St Peter denies Christ (Luke 22:54-62)
After Jesus was arrested, Peter denied knowing him three times. As Jesus had predicted, a cock then crew.
The Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38)
The 'Annunciation' is the official title for the gospel story where the Archangel Gabriel 'announced' to the Virgin Mary that she was to become a mother to Jesus Christ.
Christ is stripped of his garments (John 19:23-24)
The four Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus took his clothes and shared them out between them, leaving him naked.
The Twelve Apostles (Matthew 10:1-15)
Jesus chose twelve of his disciples to be his 'apostles'. These men would specially share in his mission and continue it after his death.
The Childhood of Christ (Luke 2:39-40; 51-52)
Although it’s a favourite subject in art, little is actually known of the childhood of Christ. St Luke's gospel says that after his birth in Bethlehem, he grew up in Nazareth, living in obedience to his parents.
Christ is crucified (Mark 15:24-25)
According to the gospels, Jesus was crucified by Roman soldiers, who drove nails into his hands and feet.
