This is an excerpt from The Jewish Roots of Holy Week, where Dr. Brant Pitre will walk you through the 7 last days of Jesus. While the Gospels give us information about Jesus' last days, Dr. Pitre will unveil the meaning behind them by looking at those events in light of the Old Testament and the prophecies that Jesus is fulfilling.
Among other topics, Dr. Pitre covers:
-Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday
-The cursing of the fig tree on Holy Monday and Tuesday
-The betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot on "Spy Wednesday"
-The Passover Preparation and celebration of the last Supper and the Agony in the Garden on Holy Thursday ("Maundy Thursday")
-The crucifixion on Good Friday
- The Sabbath rest and Descent into hell on Holy Saturday
- The Resurrection and the beginning of the New Creation on Easter Sunday
