DANCE
.
Lord's Day
.
Christian name for
Sunday
, based on Revelation 1. 10 (which however may refer to the day of judgement; cf. Amos 5. 18). It nowadays has sabbatarian overtones, as in Lord's Day Observance Society, or in the more politically campaigning Keep Sunday Special.
Lord's Prayer
.
The prayer taught by Jesus in the
Sermon on the Mount
(Matthew 6. 9–13) or privately to his disciples (Luke 11. 1–4). The two forms reflect different Aramaic versions no doubt already in liturgical use.
Lord's Supper
.
A title for the Christian
eucharist
now used especially by Protestants. It is based on the term in 1 Corinthians 11. 20. Some scholars distinguish the ‘mass’ and ‘lord's supper’ as two different forms of eucharist in the earliest Church.
