Holy Wednesday has been primarily signified with the betrayal of Christ. The events of the day are described in a most vivid way, which reveal the agony of Christ, our Lord. Judas, being one of his disciples, betrays the master, which causes the Teacher much pain. The more we concentrate on this thought of betrayal, the more we understand the same pain is caused by all of us who diminish in our spirituality the presence of Christ.
