Biblical accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus tell of how darkness covered the earth for three hours. In this meditation for Good Friday the novelist and psychoanalyst Salley Vickers weaves together stories of personal darkness and loss with readings from the Gospels and the poetry of Donne, Herbert and Vaughan. Nick Thorley speaks of the resonances he finds between the events of Good Friday and his experience of gradually losing his sight; Ukrainian theologian Taras Djatlik speaks of the darkness of betrayal and war, and Dr Ruth Valerio finds echoes in the Gospel story and the painting of Rembrandt of her grief in the face of the climate crisis.
The readings are by Samuel West.
