The '''Passion''' of our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ, is the suffering he endured for our salvation. ''Passion'' is the theological term used for the suffering, both physical and mental, of [[Jesus]] in the hours prior to and including his trial and execution by crucifixion. The [[crucifixion]] and [[resurrection]] of Jesus is central to Orthodox Christian faith. The events of the passion are celebrated during [[Holy Week]], beginning with Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday. Preceding this, he suffers torments beginning with his prayer in Gethsemane, his arrest, trial, scourging, and bearing his cross to Calvary or Golgotha.
