Holy Thursday - On the Thursday before his crucifixion, Jesus sent disciples to prepare the Passover meal. He washed their feet as an example of service. During this Last Supper, Jesus instituted Communion, using bread and wine to represent his coming sacrifice. Later, he prayed in Gethsemane, was betrayed by Judas, arrested by the Sanhedrin, and subsequently denied three times by Peter.

Holy Tuesday - On Tuesday morning, Jesus and His disciples made their way back to Jerusalem. As they walked, they passed the fig tree that had withered, and Jesus used the moment to teach them about the power and necessity of faith. At the Temple, tensions rose as the religious leaders grew increasingly agitated by Jesus’ growing influence and His claims to spiritual authority. Determined to stop Him, they began plotting His arrest through a carefully planned trap. Later that afternoon, Jesus left the city with His disciples and went to the Mount of Olives, located directly east of the Temple with a clear view of Jerusalem. According to Scripture, it was also on this day that Judas Iscariot began his betrayal, meeting with the Sanhedrin to arrange his deal.
