## Resource

Host Jerry Eicher walks listeners through an alternative Holy Week timeline that places the crucifixion on Wednesday. Drawing primarily on details from John’s Gospel and selected early church writings, he explores how a Wednesday crucifixion can resolve puzzles around “three days and three nights,” the timing of the women buying and preparing spices, and the occurrence of back-to-back high Sabbaths. Eicher outlines the chronology from Palm Sunday through the arrest, trials, Wednesday crucifixion and burial, the intervening high day(s), and the discovery of the empty tomb on Sunday morning. He notes scriptural supports, implications for traditional Friday crucifixion views, and personal reflections on the significance of the timing.
