The Man from Galilee and Easter Week

Join us as we explore the history and archaeology of Easter Week using the Gospels from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John disciples of Jesus.
We embark on a profound journey starting in the Upper Room, tracing the pivotal path Jesus took during Passover. Through an in-depth exploration of the Gospels and supplementary writings, we will delve into the archaeological insights that illuminate this sacred timeline.

Our journey will be enriched by exclusive interviews with Roddy Har'el of CMJ, based at Christ Church in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem. Together, we will uncover the historical and spiritual significance of these locations, offering a deeper understanding of the events that shaped the Easter narrative.

This video is also available as a series of short video covering sections of Easter Week.
