This Taize song “Stay with me” is a meditative piece remembering Christ wrestling with the devil in Gethsemane while his disciples falling asleep. http://youtu.be/zkivkORaeJA

On this day many Christians spend the day in fasting, prayer, meditation and repentance. It is based on the canonicals gospel’s account of the crucifixion of Jesus, estimated to be on Friday in 33AD. The biblical accounts can be found in Matthew 27:27-28:8; Mark 15:16-16:19; Luke 23:26-24:35; and John 19:16-20:30.
