Comments
Wednesday is called Spy Wednsday because Judas spied on the group and betrayed Jesus.
Anthony,
Is there a OT or Jewish equivalent for Holy Week?
since maundy thursday coincides with the jewish passover and the passover is celebrated 1 week, this would be the only thing that coincides within the holy week.
