I also remember that the word holy derives from the word "whole" and the concept of being perfect. I don't think that when we refer to something as being holy that that particular item is, in itself, whole and perfect, but is set for us as a reminder of wholeness and perfection. <BR/><BR/>Well, those are the thoughts that arose after reading your entry! Thanks for bringing it up!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015787419384886496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257904407708870210.post-34671288189572286462007-12-30T14:26:00.000+08:002007-12-30T14:26:00.000+08:00Did you prepare this in preparation for Theophany?...Did you prepare this in preparation for Theophany?
