recently, Dr. Roberta Mazza from the University of Manchester - John
Rylands Research Institute, has discovered the world's oldest document
in the form of Christian liturgy of the Eucharist (the Eucharist). This document is considered as an ancient papyrus from Egypt Roman
rule nearly 1500 years old and refers to the Last Supper (Last Supper)
and 'Manna from Heaven' early Christian period, about 300 years after
the Roman emperor Constantine converting religion.
Ancient papyrus texts written in Greek and an original combination of Bible verses include Psalm 78: 23-24 and Matthew 26: 28-30. This discovery was introduced Dr. Mazza on 4 September 2014 a conference in Manchester, UK with the title 'From Egypt to Manchester: Unravelling the John Rylands Papyrus Collection'.
Talisman From Ancient Papyrus Fragment Last Supper
The Last Supper is a story which tells the Early Christians first Festival of Unleavened Bread or Passover, Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead with a very specific instructions to prepare the Passover meal. That evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the 12 disciples to eat his last meal before the cross. When they eat together, he said to the twelve that one of them would betray him.Papyrus was originally discovered in Egypt in the 19th century, and is now stored in the John Rylands Library, Manchester. This text shows how Christians adopted the ancient Egyptian practice of wearing amulets to protect the wearer from harm. Writing pieces of ancient papyrus text followed by the Christians who replaced the prayers to the gods of Egypt and the Greek-Roman with extract from the Bible.According to Mazza, to this day Christians use passages from the Bible as a protective talisman that 'talisman' marks the beginning of an important trend in Christianity. Although virtually unknown who the owner is, according to this ancient papyrus archaeologist could be owned by a resident of the nearby village of Hermopolis (el-Ashmunein).Hermopolis lies a small village called El Ashmunein (derived from Shmun), is the capital of the 15th (Hare) Nome in Upper Egypt. When ancient times, this place is one of the major Egyptian cities known as Khmunu (Shmun). Shmun name refers to the eight ancestors who created the first child and believed to be the first sunrise in the city, ultimately creating the world.
Papyrus is an example of a very rare among Christians and the Bible, and thanks to this discovery, archaeologists suspect knowledge of the Bible is embedded in Egypt in the 6th century AD. The researchers also discovered that ancient papyrus is written in a version of recycled paper using spectral imaging techniques.Samar letters behind the paper is considered as a receipt for the payment of which is certified by the grain tax from the tax collector Tertembuthis village, rural ancient city of Hermopolis (the modern el-Ashmunein). Amulet makers will cut the jertas as a receipt, written on the other side and then folded ancient papyrus stored in a necklace or pendant.
