My beloved Persian friends may be interested to know that theres an old Persian loan word in my sermon Bible passage for Good Friday. Its the Paradise promised by Jesus to the thief executed next to Jesus, when he repented and recognised Jesus as King. Wikipedia (checked in Macquarie Dictionary) says The word paradise entered English from the French paradis, inherited from the Latin paradisus, from Greek parádeisos (παράδεισος), and ultimately from an Old Iranian root, attested in Avestan as pairi.daêza-. The literal meaning of this Eastern Old Iranian language word is walled (enclosure), from pairi- around + -diz to create (a wall). If you are in Wollongong, you are very welcome at church on Good Friday, when I will talk about these things… 8am or 10am. wollongong.anglican.asn.au/2014/04/08/easter-services-2014/
