Thr Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner. Oregon. Thursday. March 31. : 983 THREE
Around About'
By Justine Weather ford
This lust day of March happens to fall on Maundy
Thursday , or Holy Thursday, which is always just three days
before Easter Sunday. It commemorates two events of
Christ's last week on earth: washing the feet of His disciples,
and sharing the Last Supper with them. The name Maundy
probably comes from the Latin Mand.itum, or command
ment. It refers to Christ's words (John 13: 34) "A new
commandment I give unto you that ye love one another."
Traditional rituals practiced for centuries on this day have
been dropped In most places, Mart in Luther and his followers
condemned the practice of washing feet by the clergy which
was a ceremony intended as a visible token of Christian
brotherly love. Some churches hold Tenebrae (darkness)
services on Holy Thursday.
Tomorrow is Good Friday, the day dedicated to the
remembrance of the crucifixion. Services in lleppner will be
conducted by the Ministerial Association, at the New Life
Center Church at 7:30 p.m. In many places the churches hold
services from noon until three o'clock, recalling the hours of
Christ's agony and reviewing the words He spoke from the
cross.
The most solemn week of the Christian year, Holy Week,
the last week of Lent, ends on Easter Sunday, the most
Important holy day of the Christian religion. Its name may
have come from Eostre, a Teutonic goddess of spring, or
from the Teutonic festival of spring called Eostur.
Easter Is one of the movable feasts of the Christian religion
with its date varying from year to year because of the moon.
In 325 A D. the first Nicene Council decreed that Easter
should be observed on the first Sunday following the full
moon on or after the vernal equinox. Thus, pilgrims traveling
to Jerusalem to celebrate the Resurrection were assured of a
bright night sky, Easter can occur anywhere from March 22
to April 25.
By now many of you have spent 10 hours, through four
different nights, watching the TV miniseries "Thorn Birds."
Based on Colleen McCullough's tremendous book telling of
life, love and pain in Australia which was filmed mainly in
California. This TV serial was rated by competent reviewers
as the "top of the list."
Last Thursday, thankfully not the worst day of last week,
98 flower-loving persons gathered in Willows Grange Hall at
lone for a District Garden Club spring meeting. This was the
second district meet during this school year to be held in
Morrow County. These gatherings, along with the St.
Patrick's Day celebration, the Pioneer Picnic, the Fair and
Rodeo, the Artifactory and other people bringing affairs are
good for the area . Some of those w ho come have never visited
here before. Maybe now they will come again, and, at last
tourism is being recognized all over the world as a really
great economic factor.
Last Saturday night the 19R3 Fair and Kodeo Queen Lottie
L&ughlin was crowned by Charley Daly, chairman of the fair
board Queen Lottie and Princesses Sylvia Ladd and Dawn
Timms were honored by a large segment of the community
and were presented with beautiful belt buckles by each of the
three banks: Bank of Eastern Oregon. First Interstate Bank
and Western Heritage Savings
It was good to have Jim Ackley among us again and to hear
him honor his long-time friend and co-musician Lottie with a
song. Jim's band provided the music for the dance that night
at ttie fairgrounds following the community potluck dinner.
1 If you haven't seen the court's attractive outfits you will
surely admire the queen's white and the princesses' gray
suits worn with lovely jade shirts. The five pennant bearers:
Dyann Brosnan. Wendy Skillcorn, Bridget t Greenup. Bob
bette Angell and Stacy Kennedy, look good in their grey pants
and hats and flowered jade cotton shirts, too.
This week of is seeing some big changes. Last Sunday
in Boston the over 2(H) years-old blue laws which forbade
retail stores from opening on Sundays ended, and many
shoppers rushed to buy after they left Palm Sunday church
services. Also we know that April 1, the first U S boost in the
gasoline tax (user's fee) will take place and everyone will
pay five cents a gallon more
Last year on Faster Sunday several of us climbed up to the
weatherbeaten cross on the hill east of town. That symbol
which was erected many years ago really needs some
repainting it has become more visible to more persons now
that the Willow Creek Road has been relocated. It would be a
great project for some civic-minded group to renew this
marker before another Easter.
Although the arrival of spring this year hasn't brought very
many days so far that are just right for gardening and lawn
mowing, perhaps Easter Sunday will begin the lovely, warm,
pre-summer weather that everyone is so ready to have begin.
