The Greek Word kyriakê' oiki'a (does it make sense)


Sweden got many words (connected to the Church)from the Greek and latin languages 1000 years ago, when the missioners came here. I guess we had our viking gods before we got Christianity here.

""" Kyriaki""",it does make sense,as it is the day of rest and prayer. Though i Google ""Kyrka etymology"" and couldn't find anything to lead me,to the origin of the word. Maybe you are better in searching...handshake

I found something interesting about the word KYRKA.

The Britts simply translated the original Greek word ekklesia to chirche, which later became church.

Kirke was a daughter to Helios.



I truly hope this story is true!thumbs up laugh
