The Last Week
Christ spent the last week of His life, doing all He could to lay down the ground work for the new Law that was to be instituted. He also taught His apostles to prepare them for running the Church in His absence.
Day 1: Christ rode a donkey into Jerusalem. He is greeted with shouts of Hosanna and rides on a path of palm leaves.
Day 2: Christ challenges the Jewish leaders and cleanses the temple of those defiling it.
Day 3: Christ returns to the temple and challenges the Jewish leaders and their teachings, offending them. They plot His death. He then spends time exclusively with the Twelve Apostles preparing them for His absence.
Day 4: Christ spends time outside the city of Jerusalem in Bethany.
Day 5: There is a Passover where the Twelve are again instructed and the sacrament instituted. He then suffers in the garden of Gethsemane for the sins of the world. Judas betrays Him and Christ is taken to the Roman authorities to be tried.
Day 6: Christ is falsely charged with blasphemy and sedition. He is ordered to be put to death by hanging on a cross. Christ is crucified and after His death, His body is sealed in a tomb.
Day 7 (The Sabbath): Christ's body lays in the tomb but His spirit spends the time teaching in the Spirit world.
Day of the Resurrection: Christ is resurrected and returned to His body. He appears to Mary and comforts her.
