Ngaba uyayazi iNgcwele ukuba ifanele ibe nerekhodi lehlabathi laseGuinness?

Wakhe weva nge-St.Simeon Stylites? Uninzi alunjalo, kodwa into ayenzileyo iyamangalisa kwaye kufanelekile ukuba siyithathele ingqalelo.
USimeon, owazalwa ngo-388, wayengumntu ongcwele we-47th wenkulungwane owayephila ngentsika iminyaka engama-13. Nge-40, wanika intshumayelo malunga neentsikelelo ezamshukumisayo kangangokuba wayefuna ukomeleza ukholo lwakhe lobuKristu ngokuzincama nangokucamngca. Kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, wajoyina i-monastery kodwa ngenxa yesohlwayo esinzima, i-monastery yamcela ukuba ahambe. Emva kokushiya ikhaya leemonki, uSimeon wazila ukutya kunye namanzi ngazo zonke iintsuku ezingama-459 zeLente. Njengokuba iindaba zokuzincama kwakhe zisasazeka, abantu beza kuye bezokucela imithandazo kwaye basondele kule ndoda ingcwele. Ukuphepha ezi zihlwele zabantu, wabalekela kumqolomba ophezu kwentaba eSyria. USimeone wayehleli eqongeni elincinci phezu kwentsika, nokuba ithini imeko. Usweleke kule ntsika ngo-XNUMX.
Kodwa esi sithuba asiyonyani ngaye. Esi sithuba simalunga ne-St.Simeon Stylites oMncinci, owabelana ngokufana okuninzi kunye neSt.
Malunga neminyaka engama-60 emva koMdala uSimeon, ngo-521, kwazalwa omnye umfana wase-Antiyokwe ekufutshane, owathi kungekudala watsaleleka kubomi obungqongqo. Kwaye xa ndisithi mncinci, ndithetha ukuba iidayari zakhe zirekhodi yokuba wayekwi-hermitage xa waphulukana namazinyo akhe okuqala-ke mhlawumbi iminyaka eyi-6-9. Kwaye kwakule minyaka uSimeon wadibana apho noHimon owathimba ingqondo kaSimeon kunye nexesha lakhe elide kwilitye. Ekugqibeleni, uSimeon wayefuna ukuthatha isohlwayo esithandwayo ngoku sokuchitha ixesha kwentsika njengoko abanye besenza isitayile-ngaphandle kokujolisa kwi-pun-kaSimeon Omdala.
Waduma kakhulu ngobomi bakhe bokuzibandeza, echitha iminyaka ngentsika enye, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha esekwe kwiimfuno zakhe, echitha ixesha elilinganayo kwisebe lomthi. Ngokungafaniyo nama-Stylites aMdala, wayeya kusuka kwenye intsika aye kwiintsika, okanye ityholwana aye esihlahleni xa imeko ekhethekileyo imbiza, njengaxa ubishophu walapho wamenza idikoni kwaye efuna ubukho bakhe kwenye indawo, okanye xa waba ngumbingeleli kwaye wayefuna indawo engumbindi wokusasaza uMthendeleko oNgcwele. Ngezihlandlo ezinjalo abafundi bakhe, omnye emva komnye, benyuka ileli ukuya kufumana uMthendeleko ngesandla.
Njengakwinkcubeko yezembali uninzi lweentsika ezingcwele, inani elikhulu lemimangaliso bekukholelwa ukuba lenziwe nguSimeon Omncinci. Ngakumbi nangakumbi kule Simeon, kuba amabali amaninzi emimangaliso kwi-hagiographies esele isithi imimangaliso iyakudityaniswa nemifanekiso yesanta.
Lilonke, uSimeyon Omncinci ngewayephila eminye iminyaka engama-68 kwiintsika ezahlukeneyo kunye namasebe aphakamileyo. Iphantse yaqondakala. Ngasekupheleni kobomi bakhe ingcwele yayihlala kwikholamu kwintaba ekufuphi neAntiyokwe kwaye kulapha apho yasweleka khona. Ngenxa yemimangaliso yayo, induli isaziwa nanamhlanje njenge "Nduli yezoMangaliso".
I-Stylus ngesiGrike ithetha "intsika". Kulapho bobabini abangcwele bafumana amagama abo. Kude kube namhla, akukho mntu usondeleyo kwimiceli mngeni kwiirekhodi zakhe. Kwaye ndiyathandabuza kakhulu ukuba nabani na uya kuzama.
