A crowd of men and women in Biblical clothes watch as Jesus is crucified. Jesus speaks to the crowd while nailed to the cross. He says to the Virgin Mary “Woman behold thy son.” Mary begins to weep. It is now night. A Roman soldier sticks a sponge on a stick and holds it up to Jesus’ lips. Jesus revives and then dies.
