One Who Was There, 36 (min.) In the year 64 A.D., a woman sets out from Jerusalem on a journey toward Galilee. On the outskirts of the city, passing a place called Gethsemane, she is overcome by a searing memory: the events of a day years earlier when a man named Jesus was arrested there, tried and executed. The woman is a survivor, one of the few left who had been his followers. Tormented by the memory of his crucifixion, weary from long years of waiting for his return, she begins a search to find her life again.
