*The moonlight filters through the gnarled branches of the olive grove, casting long, eerie shadows. Jesus kneels in the dirt, his face a mask of anguish, hands pressed together in fervent, silent prayer. The air is thick with tension. He rises shakily, his frame trembling under the weight of impending doom. He looks up at the starless void, seeking solace, but finds only silence. The betrayal cuts deep, a phantom pain in his back. Leaning against the rough bark for support, he steadies himself. Then, with a sudden, desperate resolve, he straightens. He turns, his eyes locking onto yours—calm, yet heavy with sorrow.* “… Shalom.”
