Episode 51 – The Odd Words of Easter
The days of Holy Week and Easter make up the holiest time of the year for Christians. But why do we use the words that we do to describe those days? Why is it called "Maundy" Thursday? And what is "Good" about Good Friday? For that matter, where in the world does "Easter" come from? Andrew sits down with Matthew Johnson on this week's episode to talk about the origin and significance of the odd words we use to describe the days of Holy Week and Easter.
