| Wounds, Five Sacred | ||
| A double meaning symbolism developed during the Middle Ages in superficially claiming to represent the claimed five wounds of Christ suffered during the Passion: the piercing of his hands, feet and side (head). Prior to this period, the "Five Wounds" doctrine was not in popular evidence. | ||
| The deeper and real meaning of the devotion is that the five wounds represent points of a pentagram, a symbol that has defined human sacrifice for thousands of years back to the Sumerians--the first to devise the pentagram as a religious symbol. | ||
| Wycliffe, John | ||
| (c.1328-84) English philosopher, theologian and reformer. He is known for his English translation of the Bible and has been called the "Morning Star of the Reformation." See John Wycliffe. |
