| The Way of the Cross | ||||||
| At the Last Supper Jesus shared words of comfort and hope with all the friends who ate with him around the table. Those words are recorded in John 14 to 16 and are followed by the prayer Jesus prayed as the supper came to an end. These were the words of comfort and hope that the women shared as the crowd followed in the footsteps of Jesus from the Last Supper on the High Street round to the Garden of Gethsemane under the trees on the Promenade. |  |
