Choice 1

I wasn't able to copy and paste the chart, so I will just list the days and describe the key events that took place on each day.

DAY 1: Jesus arrived in Jerusalem and was greeted by a great multitude of people who were shouting Hosannas. He went straight to the temple and took note of what he observed.

DAY 2:  First thing in the morning he went back to the temple and challenged the Jewish religious leadership. He tried to teach them that the temple is a sacred house of prayer and not a place for worldly goods and transactions.

DAY 3: Back at the temple, the Jewish leaders were upset at Jesus for questioning their authority and argued with Him. He taught in parables which angered the Priests even more. He called them hypocrites and from that point on did not teach in public- only in private to the Twelve. The Jewish leaders were still angry and tried to come up with a  plan to kill Christ.

DAY 4: Not much is recorded of this day but what we do know if Christ spent His time outside of the city.

DAY 5: A home was privately reserved for Christ and the Twelve to have a Passover meal. After the meal Christ introduced the Twelve to the sacrament.  He prophesied of His death and those that would betray Him.  Judas had left so Christ led the eleven to Gethsemane. He went off by himself to pray and atone for our sins. He experienced great pain and anguish. Some time later Judas came with an armed group of men who seized Him and brought Him to an illegal trial.

DAY 6: Christ was charged with two crimes and brought before the people who wanted Him to be put to death. He was put on the cross and died later that day.  Before nightfall His body was removed from the cross and laid in a secure tomb.

DAY 7: This day was the Jewish sabbath and Christ's body remained in the tomb but in spirit he ministered in the realm of departed spirits.

DAY OF THE RESURRECTION: On the most memorable Sunday in history, Jesus Christ emerged alive from the tomb and appeared to Mary.
