Judas: Detail from The Meeting of St Brendan with the Unhappy Judas (1911), a stained-glass window by Harry ClarkeIt’s Easter Monday. [This “gentle reminder” is just another low-key, if essential Irish Times service. Trial, execution, resurrection and a gross miscarriage of justice, aided and abetted by a weak justice system succumbing to the mob.
