Good Friday Liturgy

Visiting the historical sites traditionally believed to be the route Christ took as he carried the cross to his crucifixion, Dr Tina Beattie reflects on the reality of abandonment.

On the most solemn day in the Christian calendar, Dr Tina Beattie, Director of Catholic Studies at Roehampton University, travels to Jerusalem to reflect on the last moments of Christ's life. Starting at night, in the Garden of Gethsemene, the place where Jesus was arrested, Dr Beattie re-examines the human and spiritual consequences of Christ's journey to his death on the cross. She visits the Pavement on which Christ was tried by Pontius Pilate and scourged, and reflects on the moment where Mary has to contemplate the death of her son. The programme finishes inside the Church of the Holy Sepluchre, the site Christians believe to be the place of the crucifixion and resurrection. Producer: Mark O'Brien.
