A very joyous and blessed Easter to all our readers! Alleluia! Here, we offer Bach’s Easter Oratorio, the companion piece to his Passions.

As Jesus was being interrogated by the High Priest, His disciples had been scattered. Only two remained to follow Him. The first was St. John the Evangelist. The other was St. Peter.
