The Passion and Death of Jesus
The Ark of the New Covenant’s name originates in the Bible. It recalls the original Covenant: the spiritual experience of the people Israel and their pact with God given through Moses on Mount Sinai. The term New Covenant refers to the new and everlasting covenant given in Jesus Christ through the paschal mystery of his death and resurrection—as celebrated by Christians in the Eucharist.
