More outstanding representations @ Holy Week Jerusalem

Note Bene Mike,
In early Christian Coptic belief, Pilot was considered a Saint for his actions :-)

I honestly dont know what to say but I feel very humbled just looking at these pictures.

Well, I have read about that, but it's a strange belief and not one widely accepted today.   Even though Pilate declared Jesus to be not guilty of any crime meriting being put to death, he still sentenced Him to death. From what I remember reading about him in the Bible, he was a vacillating, "go with the flow/whichever way the wind blows" worst type of leader, much like many politicians today.

While I don't think the Gospels really attach blame to any group in particular, Pilate should bear his fair share of it. That said, the "wheels were set into motion" a long time before the event.

I understand that, lejardin. Walking along from station-to-station, the experience makes me grow more humble with each one. I'd think that even if one is an atheist, yet believes this was an actual historical event, the trial, ordeal and eventual crucifixion of a mere mortal man, it would still be humbling.

BTW, I have Google Earth open now and the overhead imagery is dated from Aug.'16, and looks as though the Last Supper tableau is complete. The street view is a mish-mash of old (2008/2011) images and some newer (2016)

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like there's one more "exhibit" on the outside perimeter, where the "Jesus weeps" abortion statue and the Ten Commandments stone are located. I will need to get back over there soon, but not sure when I can make it.

Roman Prefect Pilot- The Rest of the story- Not intended as a 'Apologia'
Difficult to wade through lore, mythology, mystery, movies,faith & past posting of a 2000 story seeking truth:
Under Roman jurisdiction, back water Jerusalem , was considered one of the worst possible appointments. Roman records have Pontius Pilate was made Prefect and according to Jewish historian Josephus, Caiaphas was appointed as head High Priest of the Temple in AD 18 by the Roman prefect Valerious Gratus who preceded Pontius Pilate. Caiahas was no holy man but rather a shrewd, cunning political who acted out jealously about JC growing & challenging popularity in Jerusalem and wanted to do something about it. Since by Jewish law he could not sentenced JC to death, Caiahas leaned heavily on Pilate to do the dirty work. Pilate was caught in a deleima between the chief priest's warning of an uprising by the zealots and reportedly falsely arguing that he was only loyal to Rome
and not this upstart (patently false as Hebrew dictates forbade acceptance of any dictum or imagery above the Torah)

In my family history a wise great uncle once returning from a world wide
trip returned with a prize a large original oil depicting in exquisite detail the trial and interrogation drama in high realism. During the trial Jesus references 'truth' and Polite shown seriously & intelligently pondering his options asks "WHAT IS TRUTH?"( attributed to apostle John attending) .

With one thing taken with another, the Coptic spiritual view of Pilot's conflict & although reprehensible verdict becomes more comprehensible.

We had many family discussions about the scene that was unfolded before us and now the related unsolved mysteries continue......

Although the above is abridged & compressed for this space & time I do thank all interested in advance for your & open minded consideration :-)

Nota Bene:
Wonderful, more themed immortalized monuments with messages,and meaning.
