Today, April 16, 2025, is Holy Wednesday, also sometimes called Spy Wednesday. This day in Holy Week is remembered for two key events: the anointing of Jesus in Bethany and Judas's agreement to betray him.
The scripture readings for this day include Isaiah 50:4-9a and Matthew 26:14-25, which focus on Jesus' suffering and Judas's betrayal.
Key Events of Holy Wednesday:
Anointing in Bethany:
According to Matthew 26:6-13, a woman anointed Jesus with expensive perfume while he was at the home of Simon the L***r in Bethany.
This act of reverence and devotion highlights Jesus's role as the Messiah.
Judas's Betrayal:
After the anointing, Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus's disciples, made a deal with the chief priests to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
Amen
No matter where you are God is with you.
