medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Some time ago there was a discussion on this list about something that looked like a spade but turned out to have an educational association (sorry, my mind was taken up with other things at the time, I do remember some nice pictures from I think Henk . . .) I believe there was mention of a spade as a possible liturgical object, which would have been used to throw the first earth on the coffin of someone being buried. Can anyone provide references for this (or remind me what the thread was called, and how to get to the archive?)
