The New York Times > Movies > Holy Week Pilgrims Flock to 'Passion':
"The Passion of the Christ,' Mel Gibson's unflinching film of the Crucifixion, drew crowds last week during Holy Week, the most sacred period of the Christian calendar. Attendance grew steadily through the week and reached its highest on Good Friday, the commemoration of the Crucifixion

The film finally made it to our one screen movie theater this weekend. Several people from the Presbyterian church had a potluck supper before going to the movie together. We read Luke 22:14-23:65 before going. It was a very moving, yet difficult film to watch. But it was extremely powerful to see on Good Friday.
