In Christianity, Holy Wednesday or Spy Wednesday, also called Holy and Great Wednesday in the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches, is the Wednesday of Holy Week, the week before Easter. It is followed by Maundy Thursday. == Biblical history == In the New Testament, just after Palm Sunday, the Sanhedrin gathered together and plotted to kill Jesus, even before the feast of Pesach.〔; ; 〕 On the Wednesday before his death Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper. As they sat at the supper table, a woman named Mary anointed Jesus' head and feet with costly oil of spikenard.〔; ; 〕 The disciples were indignant, asking why the oil was not instead sold and the money given to the poor.〔; ; 〕 But Judas Iscariot wanted to keep the money for himself. Then Judas went to the Sanhedrin and offered to deliver Jesus to them in exchange for money. From this moment on, Judas sought an opportunity to betray Jesus.〔; ; 〕 In reference to Judas Iscariot's intent to betray Jesus, formed on Holy Wednesday, the day is sometimes called "Spy Wednesday".〔 〕〔 〕 (The word ''spy'', in obsolete usage, could mean "ambush, ambuscade, snare".) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holy Wednesday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
