Spy Wednesday

[frogmarch]

In Christianity, Spy Wednesday, also called Holy Wednesday and Good Wednesday, commemorates disciple Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. It occurs on the Wednesday before Easter.

I found this tidbit online at saintcatherine51.org:

How do you celebrate Spy Wednesday?

I hide 30 pieces of silver (dimes, nickels, quarters) around the house and the kids go on a spy hunt to find them. It's finders-keepers. We talk about how in Holy Week leading up to Easter, Judas betrays Jesus by “ratting” out his location so the chief priests (Sanhedrin) can arrest Jesus.

I wonder if there's a Spy Wednesday bunny.

1. I thought Judas was being hailed as the good guy now.

Something about if he didn't do what he did
none of this could have happened?

2. Beats me.

I find the whole thing confusing.

As for Judas, all I know is that he was a good guy in the movie The Fist of Jesus.

3. Such intrique.

4. I'd guess that if he confessed

Jesus said “You are forgiven. Now go and sin no more”.

5. If Jesus got snitched out, then he didn't willingly sacrifice himself

for the sins of others. Had he voluntarily given himself up, that's one thing. But to be ratted out and arrested is not really an altruistic act, is it? And isn't that the whole point of the story?

7. That's a great point I'd never thought of!

9. I think Monty Python tells it better.

10. They do? How so?

11. Life of Brian was my reference.

If you've never seen it please Watch the whole movie.
It's brilliant but very irreverent.

12. Ah, yes of course I have seen it

many times. It's a great movie!

I thought you were referring to my previous comment.

8. There is a spy bunny. But he doesn't just steal on Wednesday. He hits our garden several times during

spring and summer and early autumn.
