Kukho inani le mibhiyozo yamaKristu kunye neenkonzo ezikhokelela ngeCawa ye-Ista. Nantsi inkcazo ngezinye zeentsuku eziphambili:
Kwimali mboleko
Injongo yeLente kukufuna umphefumlo kwaye uguquke. Kwaqala ngekhulu le-40 njengexesha lokulungiselela iPasika. I-Lent ithatha iintsuku ezingama-6 kwaye ibonakaliswa ngokuzisola ngomthandazo nangokuzila ukutya. Kwicawa yasentshona, iLent iqala ngoLwesithathu we-Ash kwaye ihlala iiveki ezi-1 2/7, njengoko iCawa ingafakwanga.

I-Ash luphawu lokufa kunye nentlungu yesono. Kwicawa yase-Mpuma, nangona kunjalo, iLent iqala ngoMvulo kunokuba ingoLwesithathu ngenxa yokuba uMgqibelo ungabandakanywa kubalo.

Ibizwa ngokuba "yiCawa yeSundu", kuba imele usuku apho amasundu kunye nezambatho zisasazeka kwindlela kaYesu xa wangena eJerusalem ngaphambi kokubethelelwa (Mateyu 21: 7-9).

Isiko lazalwa kwi-1880 xa iinyibiba zazingeniswa eMelika zivela eBermuda. Ngenxa yokuba iinyibiba zepasika zivela kwibhalbhu "engcwatyelwe" kwaye "izalwe ngokutsha", isityalo size ukufuzisela ezo nkolo zokholo lobuKristu.

Ukudibana kweeholide zobuKristu ezinje nge-Ista kunye nenkcubeko yobuhedeni ayiphelelanga kwi-Ista. Iinkokheli zamaKrestu zihlala zifumanisa ukuba izithethe zazinzulu kwiinkcubeko ezithile, yiyo loo nto baya kuthi "ukuba awunakuboyisa, bajoyine". Ke ngoko, izithethe ezininzi ze-Ista zineengcambu kwimibhiyozo yobuhedeni, nangona iintsingiselo zazo ziye zaba luphawu lwenkolo yobuKrestu, umzekelo, umvundla wawusoloko ungumfuziselo wobuhedeni wenzala, kodwa kamva wamkelwa ngamaKristu ukumela ukuzalwa ngokutsha. Amaqanda yayihlala ingumqondiso wobomi obungunaphakade kwaye yamkelwa ngamaKristu ukumela ukuzalwa kwakhona. Ngelixa amanye amaKristu engazisebenzisi uninzi lweempawu ezamkelweyo ze-Ista, uninzi lwabantu luyayonwabela indlela ezi mpawu ezibanceda ngayo ukuba bomeleze ukholo lwabo.
