On Holy Wednesday Christians remember the act of Christ's feet anointment by the sinful woman Many Magdalene before His crusifixion.
It is also the time when churchgoers anoint themselves with Holy Myrrh in a solemn evening service.
In the afternoon in all churches the mystery of the Holy Gospels are read and the washing of the Apostles' feet by our Lord Jesus Christ.
The faithful also remember the Last Supper and the anonting of the Apostles feet by our Lord Jesus.
The faithful also remember the nefarious plans of Judas Iskariot to betray Jesus. On Wednesday people aslo remember Mary Magdalene who anonted our Lord's feet not simply and in stasrk contrast of the once chosen disciple.
The triodon or short hymn shows that Judas Iskariot perished not simply bcause he betrayed his Master but because, having fallen into the act of betrayal he then believed the possibility of forgiveness of his sins by Lord Jesus.
It is believed tha there are no sharp lines between bodily and spirtual needs and preparation for the reception of Holy Communion on Sunday/
PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT THE PARTHENON MARBLES MUST RETURN TO GREECE
