Holy Monday and the Holy Week Calendar

in easter •  8 months ago 

Today is Holy Monday –

The gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke describe cursing a fruitless fig tree in an event that’s omitted in the gospel of John; this gesture seems in stark contrast with Jesus’ personality, but religious scholars have interpreted it as a “prophetic act of judgement”. Jesus then enters the temple in Jerusalem and evicts the corrupted money changers, shouting: “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves”.

Holy Week in Western Christianity:

Palm Sunday (Sixth Sunday of Lent)
Holy Monday and Holy Tuesday.
Holy Wednesday (Spy Wednesday)
Maundy Thursday.
Good Friday.
Holy Saturday (Black Saturday)
Easter Day.
