Where and how did that designation (Spy) originate? I was unable to find much via Google. Perhaps one of you could point me to something helpful. Thank you!
It is a term I never heard, growing up as a cradle Catholic, until (I’m pretty sure) I heard it from protestant friends in my college years.
That doesn’t mean it’s not a thing – I might have a weirdly sheltered background. I don’t think I used the term “Maundy Thursday”, eg, until around the same time.
