ʻO Saint Cecilia, ke kahu o nā mele i hīmeni ʻoiai ʻoiai e hoʻomāinoino ʻia
ʻO ka lā 22 o Nowemapa ka lā hoʻomanaʻo o Sana Cecilia, he wahine puʻupaʻa Karistiano a he martyr i ʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he kahu o nā mele a me ka pale o nā haku mele, nā mea hoʻokani pila, nā mele, a me nā haku mele. Wahi a ka moʻomeheu, he mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Cecilia nāna i hīmeni i nā hoʻomaikaʻi i ke Akua i kāna lā male ʻana me Valeriano, kāna hoa pili i ke ola, ka manaʻoʻiʻo a me ka martyrdom.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Cecilia mele i waena o mea hana hoehaeha me ka hoao ana o na Ilamuku e koi aku iaia e haalele i kona manaoio.
Wahi a ka moʻolelo o Sana Cecilia he wahine ʻōpio ʻo ia ʻohana aliʻi ʻO Roma ka mea i noho i ka wā o ka hoʻomaʻau weliweli i ka poʻe Kristiano i ke kenekulia 3 AD. ʻOiai hoʻokahi Ke Kristiano ma kahi huna, ua hoopalau ia o Cecilia Valerian. I ka wā mua i pilikia ai ʻo Valerian i ka hoʻomana Karistiano me kona kaikunāne ʻo Tiburtius ma hope o kona lanakila ʻana i ka manaʻoʻiʻo o Cecilia.
Pule pu na pio opio a ua kanu lakou i na kino make Kristiano ua pepehi ʻia a hiki ʻole ke kanu ʻia ma muli o ka pāpā aupuni. Ua hopu ʻia ʻo Valeriano lāua ʻo Tiburzio, hoʻomāinoino ʻia a oki loa i ke poo. Ma hope koke iho, hele mai ʻo Cecilia hopu ʻia hoʻomāinoino ʻia a hoʻopaʻi ʻia e make. ʻOiai ʻo ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o kāna poʻe hoʻopaʻi e pepehi iā ia, ua ola ʻo ia no ʻekolu lā mamua o ka make ana. Ua kanu ʻia kona kino ma hope o ka ʻO nā Catacombs o San Callisto, mawaena o na koena o na Bihopa mua o Roma.
Saint Cecilia a me ke aloha o ka honua a me ka lani mele
ʻO ka pilina ma waena o Santa Cecilia a me nā mele he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kāna mōʻaukala. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia he mea hoʻokani pila ka haipule. Eia kekahi, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua hoʻokolohua ʻo Cecilia pohihihi ecstasy i kona noho paahao ana, a i kona manawa e ae vita. I loko o kēia mau leʻaleʻa, manaʻo ʻo ia i ka nā ʻānela e pāʻani ana i nā mele lani.
Ka pena kaulana a Raphael, Theecstasy o Sana Cecilia, hōʻike i kēia pilina ma waena o Cecilia a me ke Akua ma o ke mele. Ma ka pena, ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo Cecilia me kahi mea lawe lima ma kona mau lima oiai e kamailio ana me Sana Paulo, Sana Ioane, Sana Augustine a me Maria Magedalene. I kana wāwae, he mau mea kani nahaha a poino, aka, o kona huli na maka i ka lani, kahi e himeni ana ka papa himeni anela. He hōʻailona kēia i ka loulou hōʻailona ma waena o Cecilia a me nā mele honua a me ka lani.
