Starting on Palm Sunday, many evangelical Christians have been tweeting about Jesus’ last days, as if they were reporting live from first century Jerusalem.

The initiative was started by the Spanish online news magazine Protestante Digital. Their Twitter account shares Jesus’ last teachings, moves and curiosities as they are found in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke).

Many others have joined in commenting their reactions to Jesus' actions from a political point of view, from the Pharisees’ perspective, the atmosphere on the streets, reflections that the disciples could have done after listening to Jesus, etc.

The highlight will arrive on Sunday, when the ressurection of the Christ is announced.

All the tweets can be followed with the hashtag #PascuaJesus.
