"The Start of the Long Night"

---

Here’s a unique opportunity—despite all the restrictions caused by the Coronavirus—to travel to Jerusalem during this Holy Week and to immerse yourself in the first part of the Passion story. 

Join in this journey of discovery as we imagine together what Jesus and his disciples were going through at the Last Supper, as they walked to Gethsemane and as they waited in the garden.
