Therefore, there is no such thing as Good Friday or Palm Sunday. These are fictitious traditions. Notice that the Jews were exchanging money, selling doves and carrying vessels on the Sabbath!! For that reason, Jesus cleansed the Temple on the Sabbath, not on Sunday. Thus the Pharisees were guilty of breaking the Sabbath even after repeatedly accusing Jesus of breaking this law – Hypocrites!!

Hope this helps,
