The Evangelists give us detailed information on the last moments of the life of Jesus Christ. The different narrations of the four Gospels create “the Passion of Christ” that integrates together the different details given by the Evangelists in their accounts.

A typical example of this are the Seven Last Words of the agonising Christ on the cross. These Seven Last Words are composed of Jesus’s final utterings as reported by the Evangelists and moulded together by popular devotion.

The Seven Last Words have become a source of inspiration to artistic, literary and musical performances.

The Carmelite church in Mdina will be hosting an interpretation of Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ to get into the spirit of Holy Week through the meditation on the sorrowful passion and death of Our Lord.

The event starts at 4.30pm and entrance is free . All donations will go to the restoration of a 17th-century organ located in the church.
