Trinity Church is making the most of Twitter: The Wall Street parish is Tweeting the Passion Play today—Twitter.com/twspassionplay's bio reads, "Twittering the story of Christ's final hours from 12 pm to 3 pm on Good Friday 2009." And there are already 582 followers! According to the AP, Trinity is "offering a Web version of the Stations of the Cross," but there's also an actual Stations of the Cross procession starting at 3 p.m. In other religion and tech news, we may need to wait next year for a Twitter Haggadah, but the Facebook Haggadah is pretty good.
