Today culminates a week of Holy Week, observances also known as Passion Week, as for Christians it of coarse retraces the tragic events of the week leading to Jesus’ death and sacrifice
On Palm Sunday, we commemorated Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem, on Monday and Tuesday, Jesus overturned the money-changers’ tables at the temple and then he predicted the destruction of Herod’s temple
Then on Thursday or last night was the Last Supper, where he told his devoted followers that one of them would betray him, and then the following morning Jesus was arrested first thing of dawn, then crucified at noon and died by 3 p.m.
He was then placed in a borrowed tomb by 6 p.m., because the Jewish Sabbath began at that time.
The climax of the observances occurs on Easter Sunday, as Christians celebrate Jesus’ resurrection around the world.
Lets also join in to wishing our Jewish brethren as they also celebrate holy week with observance of Passover which began at sundown Wednesday night and continues for seven days although devout Orthodox celebrate for eight if I am correct...
Have a great Easter Weekend all
Father, please continue to bless these great United States in these trying times of the deceit and deception being purveyed on the gullible masses, who may mean well but are misguided and dangerously misinformed.
Please Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do
