SPY WEDNESDAY (WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK) - "SAID JUDAS TO MARY"

Sydney Carter's 'Said Judas to Mary' as recorded by Michele Troy and John Brothers.

Sydney Carter is best known for his hymn "Lord of the Dance".

H/T to Anamchara who says:

But he (Carter) was a genius and his poetry can be sublime and transmit truth.  "Said Judas to Mary" has a definite Celtic background, and it is a powerful testament to the fickleness and faithlessness of Judas and the enduring power and mercy of the Christ.  I find it beautiful, and because it sums up the confusion and hope of the first three days of Holy Week, I hope you find it worthy of a listen and a prayer. 

Lovely...worthy of a listen and a prayer.

In Western Christianity the Wednesday before Easter is sometimes known as "Spy Wednesday",as a reference to the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot, indicating that it is the day that Judas Iscariot first conspired with the Sanhedrin to betray Jesus for thirty silver coins.

This event is described in the three Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 26:14-16, Mark 14:10-12, Luke 22:3-6.
