Holy Week | A Visual Guide from the Art Pastor

Holy Week | A Visual Guide from the Art Pastor

Holy Week, or The Passion of Christ, is the time we walk through the last days of Jesus. We move from Palm Sunday, when the crowds shout “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord,” to Good Friday, when the crowds shout, “Crucify him! We have no king but Caesar!” to Easter Sunday when the disciples shout, “He is risen, Alleluia!”

In this video I walk through The Art Pastor’s Guide to Holy Week where I have compiled the visual resources from all four Gospels from A Cartoonist’s Guide to the Bible into one easy to navigate web page. Use these resources for your own study, teaching, and preaching.

Two Parades | A Visual Meditation on Palm Sunday and Holy Week

Two Parades | A Visual Meditation on Palm Sunday and Holy Week

This image was inspired by Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan as they offer a hypothetical scene in their 2006 book The Last Week,

Two processions entered Jerusalem on a spring day in the year 30. . . One was a peasant procession, the other an imperial procession. From the east, Jesus rode a donkey down the Mouth of Olives, cheered by his followers. . . On the opposite side of the city, from the west, Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Idumea, Judea, and Samaria, entered Jerusalem at the head of a column of imperial calvary and soldiers.

Jesus’s procession proclaimed the kingdom of God; Pilate’s proclaimed the power of empire.
