Maundy Thursday

The events of Maundy Thursday came alive this year as we followed the path of Christ from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane at the Mount of Olives, to the house of the high priest Caiaphas and the Church of St. Peter of Gallicantu where Peter denied Christ.

Outside the Upper Room (second floor) where Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover Supper and Jesus instituted communion. (Luke 22:14-20)

Inside the Upper Room

Jesus struggling in the Garden of Gethsemane. (Luke 22:39-46)

Olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane estimated to be 2000 years old.

Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56)

The Church of St. Peter of Gallicantu or "crow of the rooster church" where Peter denies Jesus three times (Mark 14:66-72) and the house of Caiaphas the high priest (Matthew 26:57-67)
