Hello,
Like Raymond says, let's get back to the subject of Good Wednesday or Good Friday. Raymond, Its interesting to see how the meaning of the word "Arubtha" or "Orowtha" changed throughout time. During the time of Yeshua Meshikha, it meant either "Preparation" or "evening, sunset, darkness." In later centuries, the meaning of Arubtha or Orowtha became Friday.
St. Mark and St. Luke uses the word "Arubtha" in the crucifixion day. This word is used when Joseph of Ramtha (Arimathea in English) comes to meet Pontius Pilate. And we read this (Luke 24:21 in Peshitta) later - "And behold, three days [have passed] since all these things happened." Qalyopa mentions this verse on Sunday. And if we calculate, then it looks the crucifixion happened on a Wednesday. What do you all think about it?
