_Spy Wednesday_ (Vol. v., p. 511.).--Your correspondent MR. CHADWICK is
informed that the Wednesday in Holy Week, _i. e._ the Wednesday before
Easter Sunday, is called _Spy Wednesday_. The term has its origin in the
fact, that Judas made his compact with the Sanhedrim upon that day for the
betrayal of our Blessed Saviour. See Matthew, xxvi. 3, 4, 5. 14, 15, and
16.
