Holy Week

Aled Jones and a choir of Christians make the pilgrimage to the Holy Land to walk in Jesus's last steps, visiting some of the most sacred Christian sites on the planet. These include the Garden of Gethsemane and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Jesus is believed to have been crucified, buried and resurrected. All our hymns are sung by our choir in Jerusalem. Shaun Escoffery, star of the West End musical The Lion King, performs Andrew Lloyd Webber’s song Gethsemane, from Jesus Christ Superstar.
