Scriptural Reflections by Parishioners of St. James' Episcopal Church, Ages 6-97


Holy Week and the Death of Jesus: Mark 156:33-39

Day 37: Wednesday in Holy Week, March 19


It made me sad that Jesus had to drink vinegar when he was thirsty. It also made me sad that he had to wear a crown of thorns. It is tragic that he did not have anyone to help him when he died.
