Believe it or not, Spy Wednesday is a traditional name for today. It marks the day that Judas agreed to betray Jesus. “Spy” maybe doesn’t have quite the sme connotations as it used - being a spy is now a cool thing, thanks to James Bond! However I still think that it is a great name!

A little confession: I made up the name “Great Monday”. Traditionally it is probably holy Monday, but i wanted a little variety!!

Today the plastic bag contains a seed. Can anyone get the link?

Today we started our journey through Easter week together. We started with a meal together, and had a [very] brief look at the triumphal entry.

Our journey together is marked by an envelope for each day [or an egg for each for the kids]. I am going to share the contents here each day, and provide extra links if I have any!

Feel free to comment on the topic for each day.

In addition the envelope contained: a plastic bag full of confetti!
