Origin and meaning of Holy Wednesday
Holy Wednesday is one of the crucial days of Holy Week, as it is marked as the date on which Judas Iscariot, according to Saint Matthew, meets the Sanhedrin (Jewish religious court) to condemn Jesus to crucifixion. Judas’s decision is reflected as an act of treason before an assembly made up of 23 judges belonging to each of the Jewish cities of ancient Israel. It is at this time that it is supposedly planned how Judas will deliver Jesus to the Roman guards in exchange for 30 silver coins.
