Holy Wednesday, also known as Spy Wednesday, is the day when Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus to the chief priests for thirty pieces of silver. This event ultimately led to Jesus' crucifixion. Judas' act of betrayal is a significant moment in the Christian tradition as it sets in motion the events of Holy Week leading up to Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Jesus kept praying in the temple.
