Long before Gutenberg perfected his famous press, humans were communicating with paper missives. Here’s a look at the absolute oldest: The world’s oldest known document is a topic for discussion and debate, but one popular answer is a tiny clay fragment discovered outside Jerusalem’s Old City walls dating from the 14th century B.C.E. (We know, not paper, but 14th century? That’s incredible.) Written in cuneiform (what’s that, you ask?), the tablet contains the words ‘you’, ‘you were’, ‘later’, ‘to do’ and ‘them.’ Hardly fit for the contents of a C-level memo, and we’re not sure it would fit through one of our scanners. The fibrous pulp of the papyrus plant was used to write on in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The oldest known papyrus document is also a topic of debate, but by far the most interesting of the ancient papyrus docs is the Ebers Papyrus, which outlines how to treat disease… with magic and potions. Turns out, “half an onion and the froth of beer” was considered “a delightful remedy against death.” Just be sure to brush your teeth afterward. The oldest known paper document is actually a map dating from 179-41 B.C.E. Found in Gangmatan in the Gansu province of China. Before that, documents were written on bone or bamboo and were extremely awkward to transport. Bonus fact: The Chinese were the inventors of “paper” as we know it today. The first sheet was said to be made of “mulberry and other fibres along with fishnets, old rags and hemp waste.” Hardly the clean white, 7 mil printer paper we see today. The world’s oldest literature is widely accepted to be the Sumerian “Instructions of Shuruppak”, which dates to somewhere around 2600 B.C.E. But the title of “most famous literature from circa 2000 B.C.E.” belongs to a story that comes from ancient Mesopotamia: The Epic of Gilgamesh. It’s still taught in college courses today. That’s staying power.

As I walked through the neighborhood today, it was a gift to contemplate and be reminded of how much one can come to know and understand of God in the silence. Holy Saturday is a day in which we consider what it means to silently wait. The Christian mystic St. John of the Cross, who wrote in the sixteenth century, said that “silence is God’s first language”. In 1948 Thomas Merton wrote “God [is] hidden within me. I find Him by hiding in the silence in which He is concealed.” In his comments on this beautiful, deep insight of Saint John of the Cross, Thomas Keating, in his work Invitation to Love, wrote: “Everything else is a poor translation. In order to understand this language (silence), we must learn to be silent and to rest in God.” Many wonder what did Christ do on Holy Saturday? This question has spurred centuries of debate, perplexed theologians as learned as St. Augustine and spurred some Protestants to advocate editing the Apostles’ Creed, one of Christianity’s oldest confessions of faith. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and most mainline Protestant churches teach that Jesus descended to the realm of the dead on Holy Saturday to save righteous souls, such as the Hebrew patriarchs, who died before his crucifixion. Augustine said the question of whom, exactly, Jesus preached to after his death, “disturbs me profoundly.” It is a passage that presents a number of considerations. The teaching that Jesus descended to the realm of the dead is most closely connected to Peter’s writing in 1 Peter 3:18-20. Today as I walked, taking joy in Spring’s bloom, I was not as concerned with the theological considerations surrounding this passage. In the silence, as I considered the beauty of nature, a different thought emerged.
