    Share Share Post
    There are three special days in Holy Week, namely Spy Wednesday, Holy Thursday and Good Friday.
    Spy Wednesday is in memory of Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus.
    Holy Thursday is in memory of Jesus when he instituted the last supper, and in some churches Holy Communion is held at midnight.
    Good Friday is in memory of Jesus being crucified.
