4. The Nativity and Ministry of Christ: The Annunciation to Mary, the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi, the baptism, and various miracles.
5. The Passion and Crucifixion: The Last Supper, Judas’s betrayal, Christ’s trial before Pontius Pilate, the agonising climb to Calvary, and the Crucifixion.
6. The Resurrection and Ascension: Christ rises from the dead, descends into Hell (the Harrowing of Hell), appears to the disciples, and ascends into Heaven.
7. Doomsday (The Last Judgement): Christ returns in glory to separate the saved from the damned, bringing human history to a close.
