Never . has the world beheld s
pageant of such sacred magnihood
as that which took place ia fee Holy
Land for seven days between Palm
Sunday and Easter Sunday. The
central character in the pageant was
Jesus Christ fee Eon of God and the
worlds Redeemer. The chronological order of events during Christ's
butt week on earth Is as follows:
Christ weeping over Jerusalem,
cursing the fig tree, the spectacular
driving of the money changers out
of fee temple, the blind and fee
lame are healed, fee condemnation
of fee hypocritical Scribes and
Pharasees, fea easting of the widow's mite Into the treasury, fee parable ef fee ten virgins and the talents, the agony in fee garden of
Gethsemane , fea arrest of Jesus,
Peter cuts off the ear of the servant
of fee High Priest, Peter denies
Christ, Judas hangs himself, the
trials before Caiaphas, Herod and
Pelate., fee release of Barabbis a
criminal, Jesus is whipped, stripped
and crowned with thorns and is
mocked and spit upon, Jesus now
/carries his cross up Cslvry's hill
and then the crucifietion. Now we
hear the seven farewell messages
from fee cross: ''Father forgive
them for they know not what they
do;" "Today thou shalt be with me
in Paradise;" "Woman behold thy
Son*" "My God, my God, why hast
Thou forsaken Me?"; "I thirst;"
"It is finished;" "Father into Thy
hands I commend My spirit." Lots
are now cast for his garments; the
disciples flee; darkness covers the
earth; the vail In fee temple is
rent in twain; fee rocks are rent;
fee tombs are opened; saints are
raised from the dead; the legs of
the two thieves, are broken; a spear
pierces fee heart of the Master; Je-
