Jerusalem: House of Caiaphas
Jerusalem. Just as the incense dispersed in the church symbolizes the words of the disciples that were spread throughout the world, so the candles held by the acolytes in the service at the House of Caiaphas symbolize the divine, spiritual light. A sunbeam filtering into the church also adds its share, while the priest reads the passage in the New Testament describing Jesus meeting with the High Priest Caiaphas and being questioned by him before being handed over to Pontius Pilate (John 18:19–24).
