FROM PALM SUNDAY TO EASTER (Part 1)

FRIDAY —Arrival in Bethany (Before Palm Sunday) 

John 12:1

Jesus arrived in Bethany six days before the Passover to spend some time with his friends, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. While here, Mary anointed his feet with costly perfume as an act of humility. This tender expression indicated Mary’s devotion to Jesus and her willingness to serve him.

SATURDAY —Sabbath Day of Rest (Before Palm Sunday)

Not mentioned in the Gospels. Since the next day was the Sabbath, the Lord probably spent the day in traditional fashion with his friends.
