“…Table 5 lists these in a roughly north to south manner, with the Hammerstone, Devils Hole, Moonshine and the Hound Dog rockshelters being just south of Catskill, New York (Funk, 1989:77-80). Nachte Jan's Rockshelter (Diamond, 2004a), and the Goat Island Rockshelter (Chilton, 1994) are near Saugerties, NY. The Marbletown Rockshelter (Diamond, 2004a) is six kilometers away in the Esopus drainage, while the Mohonk (Eisenberg, 1991;Funk, 1989:73-74), Ski Minne (Kaplan and Johnson, n.d.), and Trapps Rockshelter (Reith and Johnson, 2011;Sando and Johnson, n.d.) are on the Shawangunk Ridge to the southeast of Bear Trap Spring.…”

The Bear Trap Spring Rockshelter (NYSM 9792) is a Multi-Component Pre-Contact Site in the Rondout drainage in the Town of Olive, situated along the eastern edge of the Catskills in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley. It was almost entirely excavated by avocational archaeologists from the New York State Archaeological Association's Mid-Hudson Chapter from c. 1959 to 1966. Occupations found in the rockshelter range from the Middle Archaic Neville Phase to those of the Late Woodland/Contact Period Esopus Indians. Comparisons with 8 other nearby rockshelters in the Ashokan Catskills, as well as 14 rockshelters within a 50 km radius, point to consistent peaks in occupation during the Late Archaic and the Late Woodland.

“…First, references to flesh and blood (which appear in all of the eucharistic traditions) have certain sacrificial connotations, though the implications may not be exclusively sacrificial. 58 Second, the symbolic value of Jesus' act of giving (present in all the narrative traditions) may well draw its meaning from the presence of the notion of giving in sacrificial traditions. 59 Paschal context of the gospel traditions also has sacrificial implications.…”

Some scholars view the Last Supper as a symbolic action, one that articulates a rejection of the Jewish temple. This essay presents an alternative approach. The Last Supper traditions are more subtle than is generally recognized. Also, a good deal of evidence demonstrates that the temple remained an important institution in early Christian practice and thought. Therefore it is necessary to drop the problematic practice of describing sacrificial metaphors as 'spiritualizations' of the cult. Rather, we should place the sacrificial metaphors of the Last Supper tradition within the broader ancient Jewish effort to channel the temple's sanctity into various non-sacrificial practices, such as eating and praying. This study sets out to examine some matters pertaining to the Last Supper and eucharistic traditions of the NT. In particular, the goal is to situate these traditions in the context of ancient Jewish and early Christian attitudes toward the temple cult in Jerusalem. It is, of course, rather common for NT scholars to set the Last Supper in one Jewish context or another. 1 While few scholars today would endorse without qualification J. Jeremias's identification of the Last Supper as a Passover Seder, practically all scholars currently working on these materials consider the Seder ritual to be one of a small number of Jewish rites that are viewed as possible backgrounds for the Last Supper. 2 Other candidates typically considered include Jewish meal practices more generally, Qumranic meal practices in 

The word “Eucharist” generally refers to the Christian celebration of the Lord's Supper. Sometimes a substitute for the entire liturgical celebration of the sacrament, the word also relates more specifically to the presence of Jesus Christ in the elements of bread and wine. The word itself derives from the Greek eucharistein , a combination of the word eu (good) and the word charis (gift). Often translated as “thanksgiving,” the term thus refers in the broadest sense to the reception of good gifts from God in an attitude of thankfulness.
