Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Special week of Nourishment (from " The speaking tree " TOI. Sumit Dhanraj) HOLY WEEK, the week before Easter Sunday (this year 28.3. – 4.4.), starts with PALM SUNDAY . This day recalls Jesus' triumphant entry into JERUSALEM one week before His crucifixion. The Holy Monday commemorates Jesus'cleansing of the temple , when he dealt with moneychangers and other commercial agents, who had tables there. Some believe that this triggered his arrest and subsequent crucifixion. The Holy Tuesday recalls Jesus' description to his disciples on the MOUNT OF OLIVES of the destruction of Jerusalem. Holy Wednesday, once called Spy Wednesday, recalls JUDAS'S decision to betray Jesus in exchange of 30 pieces of silver. Maundy Thursday commemorates THE LAST SUPER, Jesus AGONY in the garden and his arrest. Good Friday recalls JESUS'S DEATH ON THE CROSS. " Good " refers to the blessings of humanity that arose as a result of Jesus execution. Holy Saturday on Easter eve is the final day of " Lent " (the 40 day period of spiritual preparation for Easter that typically includes fasting, penance and prayer). On EASTER SUNDAY Christians commemorate JESUS RESURRECTION. It is for all Christians a day of Jubilation, celebrating triumph over death and sin, revealing immortality and liberation. Jaya Guru Datta - Sri Swamiji likes Jesus Christ very much. Parvati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
