CARPENTRY WORKSHOP – NAZARETH
This is a basic workspace with hammers, nails, saws, axes, wood sanders and other basic tools. It is a successful business with lots of broken tables and chairs to fix. Wood is stored on shelves at the side and the smell of wood shavings on the floor fills the workshop.

The courtyard was bustling with lots of traders and stalls. It is very dirty with animal’s blood staining the ground.

GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE - JERUSALEM
There are lots of large Olive trees and shrubbery. There is an open place where the disciples could have erected tents. A fire burns in the middle of the camp site.
JAIL - JERUSALEM
Four stone walls and a small window with bars.
There is a bench and several chairs at the side.
ROAD TO CALVARY - JERUSALEM

GOLGOTHA - JERUSALEM
Jesus was crucified between Levi and Gesmas. Jerusalem can be seen in the background. It is eerily quiet with only a few people witnessing the deaths.
