In Christ's crucifixion based on the New Testament, Judas expedites the downfall of Jesus by handing him over to the Roman Empire's officials. To the horror of his mother, Mary, Magdalen, whom he saved from damnation, and his disciples, Jesus is condemned to death. He is tortured as he drags a crucifix to nearby Calvary, where he is nailed to the cross. He dies, but not before a last act of grace.
