Ceci est mon corps

On a warm night in the East, an old man murmurs to his dying wife, who is unconscious, words about time passing, doubt, friendship, pain, children, chance and love. The man, we soon understand, is Jesus of Nazareth. Having survived the Roman cross, he has lived for more than fifty years with Martha, the sister of his best friend Lazarus of Bethany. Until this last night he had hardly spoken of himself, of the events that led to his ordeal or of the overwhelming thought that, at thirty-three, made him turn away from God. Now he sets a voice against the silence of death.
