Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion

Experience the Passion story set to Bach's music!

Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion is a musical setting of the Passion story, as told in the Gospel of John. It is a powerful and moving work that has long been associated with the Lenten season.

St John Passion is particularly fitting for Lent as it focuses on the suffering and death of Jesus. The work includes numerous chorales, or hymns, which are used as a way to meditate on the themes of the Passion. It also includes passages of scripture that are traditionally read during Lent, such as the account of the Last Supper and the story of the betrayal of Jesus by Judas.

Overall, Bach's St John Passion is a beautiful and deeply meaningful work that is particularly well-suited to the Lenten season. Its powerful music and its focus on the passion of Christ make it an excellent resource for those seeking to deepen their spiritual lives during this important time of year.
