This year on Passion Sunday we listen to the Passion of Christ from St. Matthew's Gospel. (On Good Friday every year we hear the Passion of Christ according to St. John).
The Canadian Artist - William Kurelek - painted a series of 160 paintings - 1 for each verse of the Passion according to St. Matthew. This series was completed in 1963 and is housed permanently in the Niagara Falls Art Gallery and Museum. (Only accessible on Saturdays for visits!) This series also formed the basis for a book "The Passion of Christ" which is now out of print. Here are some visual highlights:
Jesus is stripped of his Garments
Jesus was hung between 2 Bandits
May this week be Holy for you!
