Holy Monday 2024 History

On the Monday before Easter, as Jesus returned to the city from Bethany, where he had stayed the night, he felt hungry. He passed a fig tree covered in leaves, but it bore no fruit, because of which Jesus spoke a curse upon it. On the following day, Tuesday, Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples, noticed the withered fig tree, which prompted Jesus to give his followers a lesson on faith and forgiveness. Jesus used the fig tree as an example to show the importance of true faith and spiritual strength to his followers. During this time, Jesus also encountered many challenges from priests who questioned his authority. The religious leaders, including chief priests and elders, began planning to kill Jesus because they felt he was an obstacle to their way of life. Despite facing ridicule, Jesus upheld love as the greatest commandment. Jesus was calm and truthful in the face of tests, in spite of knowing what was coming next.
