IN HOLY TRINITY, We sing Bach’s Saint John Passion (Johannes-Passion) every other Good Friday, alternating it with Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion. Bach wrote the Saint John Passion over the winter of 1723-1724, and it was first performed in Leipzig’s Nikolaikirche on Good Friday 1724.
Johannes-Passion

Good Friday Bach Passion
Every year, Holy Trinity presents a Good Friday Bach Passion. This takes place during the Good Friday vespers service, just as it was done in Bach’s day. We sing the Johannes-Passion (Saint John Passion) and the great Matthäus-Passion (Saint Matthew Passion) on alternate years.
