Imikhosi yama-Easter
Kunemigubho ethile yemikhosi yamaKristu nezinsizakalo eziholela ku-Isonto le-Easter. Nansi enye yezinsuku ezingcwele eziphambili:
Ngemalimboleko
Inhloso yeLente ukufuna umphefumulo futhi siphenduke. Kwaqala ngekhulu lesi-40 njengesikhathi sokulungiselela iPhasika. I-Lent ihlala izinsuku ezingama-6 futhi ibonakala ngokuzisola ngomthandazo nangokuzila ukudla. Ebandleni lasentshonalanga, iLent iqala ngoLwesithathu Lomlotha futhi ihlala amasonto ayi-1 2/7, njengoba iSonto lingafakwanga. Kodwa-ke, eSontweni laseMpumalanga, iLent ihlala amasonto ayi-XNUMX, ngoba iMigqibelo nayo ayifakwanga. Esontweni lokuqala, ukuzila ukudla kwakunzima, ngakho amakholwa ayedla isidlo esisodwa esigcwele ngosuku, nenyama, inhlanzi, amaqanda nemikhiqizo yobisi yayingavunyelwe.
Kodwa-ke, isonto lanamuhla ligxila kakhulu emthandazweni wokupha ngenkathi inyama esheshayo ngoLwesihlanu. Amanye amahlelo awagcini ngokubolekwa.
Ash ngoLwesithathu
Esontweni lasentshonalanga, i-Ash ngoLwesithathu wusuku lokuqala lweLent. Kwenzeka amasonto ayi-6 1/2 ngaphambi kwe-Ista futhi igama lawo lisuselwa ekubekweni komlotha ebunzini lekholwa. I-Ash iwuphawu lokufa nobuhlungu besono. Esontweni lase-Eastern, kodwa-ke, iLente iqala ngoMsombuluko hhayi uLwesithathu ngenxa yokuthi uMgqibelo awukafakwa kulesi sibalo.
Isonto Elingcwele
Isonto Elingcwele yisonto lokugcina leLente. Kwaqala eJerusalema lapho amakholwa evakashele ukuyokwakha kabusha, ukukhumbula kabusha nokubamba iqhaza ekuthandeni kukaJesu Kristu. Isonto lifaka iSonto Lesundu, uLwesine Ongcwele, uLwesihlanu Omuhle noMgqibelo Ongcwele.
NgeSonto lesundu
NgeSonto lePalm kukhumbula ukuqala kweViki Elingcwele. Ibizwa nge "Palm Sunday", ngoba imele usuku lapho amasundu nezingubo kusabalala khona endleleni kaJesu ngenkathi engena eJerusalema ngaphambi kokubethelwa (Mathewu 21: 7-9). Amasonto amaningi akhumbula lolu suku ngokubuyisela kabusha inqubo. Amalungu ahlinzekwa ngamagatsha esundu asetshenziselwa ukuzulazula noma ukubeka endleleni ngesikhathi sokulingisa.
Iphasika
ULwesihlanu omuhle wenzeka ngoLwesihlanu ngaphambi kweSonto lePhasika futhi usuku uJesu Kristu abethelwa ngalo. Ukusetshenziswa kwegama elithi "okuhle" kuyinto eyinqaba olimini lwesiNgisi, njengoba amanye amazwe amaningi eyibize ngokuthi "ukulila" uLwesihlanu, "uLwesihlanu olude", "uLwesihlanu omkhulu" noma uLwesihlanu "omuhle". Usuku belukhunjulwa ekuqaleni ngokuzila nokulungiselela ukugubha iPhasika, futhi akukho zinkonzo ezenzekile ngoLwesihlanu Oluhle. Ngekhulu le-XNUMX lolo suku kwakukhunjulwa udwendwe olusuka eGetsemane luye endaweni engcwele yesiphambano.
Namuhla isiko lamaKhatholika linikeza ukufundwa kothando, umkhosi wokuhlonipha isiphambano kanye nenhlanganyelo. AmaProthestani avame ukushumayela amagama okugcina ayisikhombisa. Amanye amasonto athandaza naseZindaweni Zesiphambano.
Amasiko nezimpawu ze-Ista
Kunezinkambiso eziningi zobuKristu zamaPhasika. Ukusetshenziswa kweminduze ye-Easter kuwumkhuba ovamile phakathi namaholide e-Easter. Isiko laqala ngo-1880 lapho iminduze ingeniswa eMelika isuka eBermuda. Ngenxa yokuthi iminduze ye-Easter ivela kubhalbhu "engcwatshwe" futhi "izalwe kabusha", lesi sitshalo sesizokhombisa lezo zici zokholo lobuKristu.
Kunemikhosi eminingi eyenzeka entwasahlobo, kanti abanye bathi izinsuku zama-Easter zenzelwe ukuqondana nomkhosi wama-Anglo-Saxon kankulunkulukazi u-Eostre, owawumele intwasahlobo nokuzala. Ukuqondana kwamaholidi obuKhristu anjenge-Ista namasiko obuhedeni akugcini ngePhasika. Abaholi abangamaKristu babevame ukuthola ukuthi amasiko ajulile emasikweni athile, ngakho-ke babezokwamukela "uma ungeke ubashaye, bajoyine" Ngakho-ke, amasiko amaningi ama-Easter anezimpande ezithile emikhosini yobuqaba, yize izincazelo zawo seziyizimpawu zenkolo yobuKrestu, isibonelo, unogwaja wayevame ukuba uphawu lobuqaba lokuzala, kepha kamuva wamukelwa ngamaKristu ukumela ukuzalwa kabusha. Amaqanda ngokuvamile ayewuphawu lokuphila okuphakade futhi amukelwa ngamaKristu ukumela ukuzalwa kabusha. Yize amanye amaKrestu engazisebenzisi eziningi zalezi zimpawu zama-Easter "ezamukelwe", iningi labantu lijabulela indlela lezi zimpawu ezibasiza ngayo ukujulisa ukholo lwabo.
Ubuhlobo bePhasika lamaJuda ne-Ista
Njengoba intsha eningi engamaKristu yazi, izinsuku zokugcina zokuphila kukaJesu zenzeka ngesikhathi kugujwa ama-Easter. Abantu abaningi bajwayelene nePhasika, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokubuka amafilimu afana ne- "The Ten Commandments" kanye "neNkosana yaseGibhithe". Kodwa-ke, leli holide libaluleke kakhulu kubantu abangamaJuda futhi lalibaluleke ngokufanayo nakumaKristu okuqala.
Ngaphambi kwekhulu lesine, amaKristu agubha inguqulo yawo yePhasika yamaJuda eyaziwa ngokuthi iPhasika ngesikhathi sentwasahlobo. AmaKhristu angamaJuda kukholakala ukuthi agubha iPhasika kanye nePhasika, iPhasika lamaJuda. Kodwa-ke, amakholwa abeZizwe kwakungafuneki ahlanganyele emikhubeni yamaJuda. Ngemuva kwekhulu lesine, kodwa-ke, umkhosi wePhasika waqala ukugcwala umgubho wendabuko wePhasika lamaJuda ngokugcizelelwa okuthe xaxa ngeViki eNgcwele kanye nangoLwesihlanu Oluhle.
