Maundy Thursday

Today is Maundy Thursday. The night that I believe really starts to define Christianity. After all, tonight is the night that Jesus took the bread and the wine for the last supper. Tonight is the night he goes to the garden and prays. Tonight is the night he is arrested and beaten. Tomorrow, Good Friday, he is put on "trial" forced to carry his cross and then hung on that cross to die. Saturday, all of his followers sat around and mourned, unable to do anything because it was their sabath. Then Sunday the tomb is empty. I think more momentous than the 4 days is that on Palm Sunday he rode into Jerusalum victorious. The people laid their coats on the ground. In a span of 4 days, public opinion changed that much. I mean public opinion on George W. Bush didn't change that fast in 4 days. How can you be victorious on Sunday and Public Executed on Friday? To this day it boggles my mind.
