K&KVE ” ’ il, , Ths idea of “Overlook” is taken from the Ovwrimks ( pWvi«eW'| viewing panoramas along the Blue Bldge Fatkway, ' •*« T‘-,7 This issue of the Yancey Record comes out on the Thursday of Holy Week. Tomorrow will be Good Friday, and Sunday will be Easter. It was on Thursday night in those eventful days immediate ely before the death of Jesus that He had the Last Supper with His disciples. We therefore call this day “Maundy Thursday”. “Maun dy” is the form into which an old Latin word, “mandatum,” which means “commanded", got twisted. From this same word, we get the word "Mandate”. It was on the Thursday night the Last Sup per that Jesus gave to His discip les a “new commandment” the commandment that they were to love on e another. And so they said this Thursday was the of the commandment, the “man dated Thursday”. As the years went by, the pronunciation got changed and so at last it became Maundy Thursday. On that same night, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, commanding them t.iat they also should wash one another's feet. There have been groups in the history of Christ ianity that have taken this com mandment literally and that, es pecially on Maundy Thursday evening, have washed the feet of others. This may be a very nice and appropriate custom and per haps the observance of It in a symbolic manner may bring bless ing to those who practice It. But most Christians would feel that It is unnecessary to be quite so literal as that. , The observance of the Sacra ment of the Supper on this night is more widely practised, and in every itate, of our nation as well as in/most countries of the world, there will that will be htJviflg“the communion tonight. I personally Have quite a senti ment about Maundy Thursday communion, and I would like to tell you how and why I came by it. I have found that most senti ments that I feel as strongly as I do this one go back into child hood years. But in this cstse, such «» H I—H———MBWW II ! Jjjjr'~js~-~\ Eastsr .
