The church calender (depending on which denomination) highlights today as fig monday when the withering of fig tree is read and remembered in the light of the events that will follow later this week. Thinking on this the fig tree seems fit not because of the historic judgement interpritations but in the aftermath of Palm Sunday with its jubilation and shouts, the sense of anti climax or what next. the withering of expectation after a day of celebration and hope, perhaps preparing the disciples for the seemingly anti climax of the cross.
After the waving and songs of hope
After the ride without any pope
After the noise and after the shouts
Came the monday, the monday of doubts.
Holy Tuesday remembers the parable of the 10 virgins perhaps because hope and vigliance was needed
After the doubts and the aprehension
they slowly remembered with expection
After the conversations and the reminiscing
Hope was rekindled for a new beginining
Holy Wednesday or spy wednesday is the day when the church remembers Judus first arranging the betrayal
The fire was small and the light grew dim
At least one thought the future looked very grim
Dashed expections and a misunderstood theme
followed the mumbles, followed the scheme
