Upon first glance, I thought this question belonged over in the Chemistry section.  Haha.  \n\nSeriously, I found this excerpt and feel it's contents are highly relevant especially since currently it is that time of year.  The exerpt reads:  \n\n"...Good Friday (pascha staurösimon, parasceve, or paraskeuë _ i. e. the day of preparation for the Israelitic Sabbath _ cæna pura, dies absolutionis, dies salutaris). _ On this day the Church commemorates the Passion of Christ, so that it is the most sad and solemn of all the days in Holy Week. The officiating clergy appear in black vestments, and prostrate themselves before the altar, which still remains stripped. Nor are the candles lighted. After a short pause, the altar is covered with white cloths, and passages of the Old Testament, followed by the history of the Passion from St. John, are read. Next, the Church prays solemnly for all conditions of men, for all the members of the hierarchy, for the prosperity of Christian people, for catechumens, heretics, Jews, and Pagans. Before each prayer the sacred ministers genuflect, except before that for the Jews, when the genuflection. is omitted in detestation of the feigned obeisance with which the Jews mocked Christ. When the prayers are ended, the cross, which has been up to this time covered with black, is exposed to view, "adored" and kissed by clergy and people. [*Here is where you will really want to pay close attention...]  During the adoration the "Improperia" are sung, each improperium being followed by the Trisagion in Greek and in Latin. Improperium is a barbarous word used by Latin writers of a late age, meaning "reproach," and these "reproaches" are addressed in dramatic form by Christ to the Jewish people. They begin with the touching words, "My people, what have I done to thee, wherein have I vexed thee? Answer me." The Trisagion is so called because the word "holy" occurs three times in it: "Holy God, holy [and] strong, holy [and] immortal, have pity on us." It was first introduced at Constantinople, and it is probably because of its Greek origin that it is recited in the Good Friday office in Greek as well as in Latin..."\n\nI hope this helps answer your question.

My favorite (and the longest one I know) comes from the Middle Ages, and is in Latin.  Saint Martin was travelling through France to Rome.  While on the road, he encountered the Devil, who began to tease him relentlessly.  After a few miles of this treatment, Saint Martin was so incensed that he beat Satan with his walking stick -- upon which Satan turned into a donkey.\n\nThis is why it's accurate to describe the devil as a French A**.  Just kidding.\n\nIn any case, upon his transformation, the Devil cried:\n\nSigna te signa; temere me tangis et angis;\nRoma tibi subito motibus ibit Amor.\n\nThis is a palindrome, and means "Make the sign of the cross and do it again; you vex and bother me without reason.  Soon you will reach Rome, the object of your wishes."  Seeing a ripe opportunity, Saint Martin jumped on the donkey's back and rode him to the Eternal City (and the donkey became Pope!  Just kidding).\n\nTo this you might reply: "Devil never even lived."  As for the author, he was distracted.  "God, a red nugget!  A fat egg under a dog!"  -- this is what I heard he said last.

Yes, it's danish. It means "Best regards on your day of Confirmation". Confirmation is a religious ceremony (see link)

The phrase is actually: "Ejus in obitu nostro prasentia muniamur." and means:\n"May we be strengthened in his presence at the hour of our death"\n\nThis is a medal of St Benedict, more information at the site below.\nHTH\nPaul.

Means "bearing Christ", derived from Late Greek Χριστος (Christos) combined with φερω (phero) "to bear, to carry". Christopher was the legendary saint who carried the young Jesus across a river. He is the patron saint of travellers. Another famous bearer was Christopher Columbus, the explorer who reached the West Indies in the 15th century.

We have the wrong idea about what the word "holy" means. The actual word means "set apart". Am I set apart? Yes. Am I a saint? Only because I am clothed with the righteousness of Christ--not of my doing.

My clothing is still,\nwhen I traverse the earth, \nor leave a house,\nor stir up the seas.\nThis lofty air recedes me \nwith my trappings \nbeyond the heroes bend,\nthen widely, \nthe strength of the clouds\nhides me from folk.\nSounding loud and singing bright, \nthey sing of my armour, \nyet I nearby am not\nto water and earth\nto sailor's breath.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n(A note on transcription of pesky OE letters: The above poem is rendered as a jpeg in order to show the OE letters, thorn and eth. That option isn't feasible for the following essay and thus I have switched to using 'th' for both.)\n\n \n\nSome Observations\nA common answer given for this riddle is "Swan".(1) The symbolism in this riddle has some interesting connections with that of the Swan in Celtic cultures. (Don't mix up the Anglo-Saxons with the Celts. These are different peoples. But in some places, they lived in close proximity to each other leading to the possibility of cross-fertilization.)\n\nTo the Celts, the swan was related to music. In the above riddle there are several lines devoted to singing. The swan also commanded the three elements mentioned in the riddle: air (hea lyft, wolcna strengu), water (wado drefe, flode), and earth (hrusan trede, foldan). And the swan was also linked to travel between this world and the Otherworld. (2) The final word of the riddle, "gæst" means both "guest" and "spirit,soul,ghost." (3)\n\nA bit further afield than the Celts, in Serbian folklore, the swan was conected to the vile (sg. vila, remember them from the fourth Harry Potter book?).(4) The vile were woodland nymphs which seems a bit of a stretch, but one word in the poem might indicate a connection. "Hryste" is listed in Clark Hall as meaning either jewels or "hillock or wooded immenence."\n\nLL

ADDED: Oh you are talking about the Name of Gd? There are quite a few names for Gd in the TaNaCH, there is the unpronounceable y-h-v-h, there is the pronounced 'adonai' which means 'my master' or my lord, as in lords and ladies of England, there are the derivitives of El, (meaning 'power' because Gd is the Ultimate Power) like Elohim, El, Eloah, and the constructs like El Elyon, El shaddai. Shaddai, and El Shaddai are derived from the idea that other religions have to have more than one as their godhead, or as godS, but our Gd is El SHaddai, meaning 'Gd Who Is Enough.'\n\nPlease see http://www.jewfaq.org/name.htm for the best, and most accurate, explanation there is on this topic!\n----\nBy 'the Jewish word' do you mean Hebrew or do you mean Yiddish, or do you mean Ladino, or do you mean any of the other languages created by the Jewish People?? As the Jews were kicked out of one Christian country to another, the first thing they did was to learn the local language. However, they wrote it in the language they knew, which was with Hebrew letters. Yiddish is a dialect of German, Ladino is a dialect of Spanish, and on and on. So, i am not sure which language you are referring to by "Jewish" word??\n\nIf you mean Hebrew, it is go-el. i do not know Yiddish or Ladino, so if it is in one of these two languages, i am sorry i cant help.
