Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Holy Week If you knew you only had one week left to live, how would you spend it? What would you do?by Dr. Brant Pitre (DVD presentation) March 21, 2024 9:00-11:30 am or 6:30-9:00 pm in the Social Hall Most people know that Jesus celebrated the Last Supper on Holy Thursday, died on Good Friday, and lay dead in the tomb on Holy Saturday. But what about the other days of Holy Week? What did Jesus choose to say and do on the last seven days of his life? Dr. Brant Pitre will lead us through a riveting account that includes: 1. Palm Sunday: Why did Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey? 2-3. Holy Monday-Tuesday: Why did Jesus curse the fig tree on holy Monday? 4. Spy Wednesday: What is the hidden meaning to Judas' betrayal of Jesus? And why is this day called "Spy Wednesday?” 5. Holy Thursday: How exactly did the disciples prepare the Passover for Jesus? 6. Good Friday: What is the meaning of the blood and water that flowed from Jesus' side? 7. Holy Saturday: Why did Jesus rest in the tomb? Where did Jesus' soul go on Holy Saturday? 8. Easter Sunday: Why did Jesus rise on the "first day of the week?” If you're looking to enter more deeply into the mystery of Holy Week, then this Bible study is for you.
