In Christianity, Spy Wednesday, also called Holy Wednesday and Good Wednesday, commemorates disciple Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. It occurs on the Wednesday before Easter.
I found this tidbit online at saintcatherine51.org:
How do you celebrate Spy Wednesday?
I hide 30 pieces of silver (dimes, nickels, quarters) around the house and the kids go on a spy hunt to find them. It's finders-keepers. We talk about how in Holy Week leading up to Easter, Judas betrays Jesus by ratting out his location so the chief priests (Sanhedrin) can arrest Jesus.
I wonder if there's a Spy Wednesday bunny.

none of this could have happened?
I find the whole thing confusing.
As for Judas, all I know is that he was a good guy in the movie The Fist of Jesus.
Think. Again.

It's brilliant but very irreverent.
