THE SPY/HOLY WEDNESDAY

In Christianity, the Holy Wednesday or Spy Wednesday is the last Wednesday prior to Easter Sunday.

It is the fourth day of Holy Week after Palm Sunday, Holy Monday, and Holy Tuesday.

Depending on the denomination, this particular day may or may not be celebrated at all. Those that do observe Holy Wednesday, such as Eastern Orthodox churches, typically mark it with readings of particular scriptures and the singing of relevant hymns.

According to the traditional interpretation of the Bible, the Holy Wednesday is the day on which Jesus was anointed with spikenard during a meal (Matthew 26:6–13).

The day is sometimes called “Spy Wednesday” since it is traditionally thought of as the day Judas conspired with local authorities to betray Jesus Chrost (Matthew 26:14–16).
