Suppose you had signed up with a travel agent for a guided tour of Jerusalem during the week of Passover in the year A.D. 30 … what might you have seen and heard? Each week in this Lenten series, worshippers will be led by a typical tour guide on an imaginary visit to the Holy City. The tour guide will offer historical, cultural and religious commentary on the sights of the city, just as a person might have done 2000 years ago the week Jesus was arrested, tried and crucified. The “stops” each week are The Temple, Passover, The Mount of Olives, The Palace of the High Priest, The Fortress of Antonio, and Skull Hill. Scripts for the dramas include multiple readers, homilies, hymns, prayers and Scripture readings.
