Join Scripture Central this Holy Week to enhance your study of Jesus Christ and His final week. Here are some of our resources.
Messages of Christ
Much of what we think we know about the crucifixion of Jesus on Golgotha is inaccurate. We set out to better understand the crucifixion. To more fully comprehend the suffering Christ endured. What did it really look like? Do we have any archaeological evidence? And what exactly happened on Good Friday?
To find out, we consulted archaeologists, physicians, and historians — piecing together ancient texts with modern discovery, and modeling the entire story for the first time. Join us as we reveal what the crucifixion on Calvary actually looked like and what it meant for the cross, once a symbol of Roman terror, to become the ultimate symbol of hope found in the empty tomb.
Easter Is a Season
Modern Prophets and Apostles have emphasized the need to make Easter more of a season for Latter-day Saint families.
"Easter is a Season" with Lani Hilton is Scripture Central's new offering to the growing desire among parents and teachers to anchor the Easter holiday in the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Far more than just a single day of celebration, this series serves as a diving board into a vast pool of possibilities, providing the practical advice, core doctrine, and creative inspiration needed to make the Easter season as powerful and transformational as Christmas.
By blending meaningful traditions like Christ-centered music, symbolic foods, and hands-on crafts with scriptural insights, Lani Hilton offers a flexible starting point that empowers families to adapt and create their own lasting legacies of faith. This series provides the tools to turn an innate need for a more special holiday into a deep, season-long encounter with the Savior that can be the beginning of cherished family traditions.
Women of Easter with Lynne Hilton Wilson
As the Savior’s mortal ministry draws to its sacred climax, the New Testament highlights a devoted group of women whose faith and service quietly shape the final hours of Jesus Christ’s life. In the days leading up to the Crucifixion, women appear as faithful disciples who minister with courage and devotion. The Gospels describe a woman in Bethany—identified as Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus—who anoints Jesus with precious ointment, symbolically preparing Him for His burial and demonstrating profound spiritual insight. Other faithful women, including Mary the mother of Jesus and Martha of Bethany, had long served the Savior and supported His ministry. Their acts of hospitality, discipleship, and devotion reflect a pattern of covenant service—women who recognized the Savior and responded with love, generosity, and spiritual sensitivity.
At the time of the Crucifixion, when many others had fled in fear, several faithful women remained near the cross, becoming eyewitnesses of the Savior’s sacrifice. Among them were Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Salome, along with other devoted disciples who had followed Him from Galilee and ministered to His needs. Their presence reflects remarkable courage and loyalty as they comfort one another and remain close to the Lord in His final mortal moments. These women would later play crucial roles in the sacred events surrounding His burial and Resurrection, preparing spices and returning to the tomb in loving service. From the preparation of the Last Supper to the sorrowful vigil at Golgotha, the women of the New Testament stand as powerful witnesses of Christ—models of faithful discipleship who served, mourned, and ultimately rejoiced in the triumph of their risen Redeemer.
