This chart shows the final week of Jesus’ earthly life, Holy Week (or Passion Week): Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. The horizontal axis shows time, and the vertical axis shows space. Proximity of the lines shows who interacted with whom. Constructed from a harmony of the Gospels, this chart is an interpretation; the timing of some events in the Holy Week narrative is open to debate.
