Graag geef ik jullie een cadeautje voorafgaande aan de #GoedeWeek met uiteindelijk Paaszondag.

Een tweet per dag, met een korte samenvatting hoe de dag genoemd wordt in de christelijke traditie en welk verhaal/gebeurtenis er bij hoort. Omdat #kennis goed is om te hebben.
Te beginnen met morgen: #Palmzondag.

Palmzondag omdat Jezus, rijdend op een ezel zoals de grote koning David ook deed, Jeruzalem binnen trok. De menigte plukte palmtakken, wuifde hem de stad binnen als nieuwe koning.
In kerken worden soms ook takken gebruikt in de liturgie.
Maandag wordt ook wel de #Heilige_Maandag genoemd: de dag waarop we denken aan de tempelreiniging: waarin Jezus het tempelplein van verkopers/handelaren/geldazen ontdoet.

Past goed bij het boek "Jezus zoals ik Hem niet kende"

It is #Pentacost weekend in Germany, Monday's a public holiday. *Every year* I have to research its meaning. Really, I should know it by now. It might have something to do with being a 20th century person knowing no literal spirit arrived to speak to the disciples.

I reason & sense what the story is meant to tell us. How, in its time, it was meant to convince. The thing is, many take the scripture literally. They explain away all incongruity, just so that they can continue to believe.

I went to a Catholic girls' school & like to make fun of it, but it did have its good sides. It admitted non-Catholics, but we all had to take religious classes all the way through. My Protestant courses were more about ethics,even though they were taught by the pastor's wife.
