Those parts of the four canonical Gospels that describe these events are known as the Passion narratives.
In some Christian communities, commemoration of the Passion also includes remembrance of the sorrow of Mary, the mother of Jesus, on the Friday of Sorrows.

For example, Puskas and Robbins commence the Passion after Jesus' arrest and befo
