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!
 
Per the readings for today, it is when Judas “spied” for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
 
That was a new term for me. I’m glad someone could answer. Thank you for asking, as I learned something new. 🙂
 
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.
