Engxoxweni eyenziwe ngu Edward Pentin nge-il Ukubhaliswa KwamaKatolika Kazwelonke, udokotela womlando uLiberato de Caro wabelana ngemiphumela efinyelelwe iqembu lakhe locwaningo mayelana nosuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu.
Ukuzalwa kukaJesu, okwatholakala e-Italy
Ocwaningweni lwakamuva lomlando, isazi-mlando sase-Italy siveza isikhathi uKristu azalwa ngaso I-Betlemme ngo-1 December BC Wabekwa kanjani unyaka nenyanga ngqo? Nazi izici eziyinhloko ngokufingqa:
Inyanga yokuzalwa
Isici sokuqala okufanele sicatshangelwe lapho kubalwa usuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu ubuhlobo phakathi kohambo lokuya eJerusalema nokukhulelwa kuka-Elizabeth.
Into yokuqala okufanele siyiqaphele ukuthi ngokokulandisa kokulandelana kwezenzakalo kweVangeli ngokukaLuka, u-Elizabethi wayekhulelwe ngenyanga yesithupha lapho kwenzeka ukuMenyezelwa.
Ngalezo zinsuku, isazi-mlando sithi, kwakukhona uhambo oluthathu: olulodwa ukuya Pasqua,omunye a IPentekoste [ngesiHeberu] (ezinsukwini ezingama-50 ngemva kwePhasika) nolwesithathu kwaze kwaba ngu- Umkhosi Wamadokodo (izinyanga eziyisithupha ngemva kwePhasika).
Isikhathi esiphezulu esasingase sidlule phakathi kwezihambeli ezimbili ezilandelanayo kwakuyizinyanga eziyisithupha, kusukela ngoMkhosi Wamadokodo kuze kube iPhasika elilandelayo.
IVangeli ngokukaLuka liyabonisa ukuthi kanjani uJosefa noMariya babeyizihambi ngokoMthetho KaMose ( Luka 2,41:XNUMX ), owawunikeza ithuba lokuvakashela eJerusalema ngemikhosi emithathu okukhulunywe ngayo ngenhla.
Manje, kusukela kuMariya, ngesikhathi sikaUkumenyezelwa, wayengazi ngokukhulelwa kuka-Elisabethe, ngakho-ke kwakungekho hambo lokuya endaweni engcwele olwaluke lwenziwa okungenani ezinyangeni ezinhlanu ngaphambi kwaleso sikhathi, njengoba u-Elisabethe wayesenenyanga yesithupha yokukhulelwa.
Konke lokhu kusho ukuthi iSimemezelo kufanele ngabe senzeke okungenani izinyanga ezinhlanu ngemuva kwedili lokuhambela. Ngakho-ke, kulandela ukuthi isikhathi sokubekwa kweSimemezelo yisikhathi esiphakathi koMkhosi Wamadokodo kanye nePhasika, nokuthi ukuvakasha kwengelosi kuMariya kufanele kube kuseduze kakhulu futhi ngaphambi nje kwePhasika.
I-Easter yaqala unyaka wezinkonzo futhi yawela ngenyanga yokuqala egcwele yasentwasahlobo, ngokuvamile ekupheleni kuka-March, ekuqaleni kuka-April. Uma sihlanganisa izinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye zokukhulelwa, sifika ekupheleni kukaDisemba, ekuqaleni kukaJanuwari. Lezi kungaba yizinyanga zosuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu.
Unyaka wokuzalwa
IVangeli ngokukaMathewu oNgcwele (Mathewu 2,1) lisitshela ngezinsolo zokubulawa kwabantu abangenacala uHerode Omkhulu, ezama ukucindezela uJesu owayesanda kuzalwa.Ngakho-ke uHerode kumelwe ukuba wayesaphila ngalowo nyaka UJesu wazalwa. Isazi-mlando uFlavius Josephus, uHerode Omkhulu wafa ngemva kokusitheka kwenyanga okubonakala eJerusalema. Ngakho-ke, isayensi yezinkanyezi iwusizo ekuhleleni isikhathi sokufa kwakhe futhi, ngenxa yalokho, unyaka wokuzalwa kukaJesu.
Ngokocwaningo lwamanje lwesayensi yezinkanyezi, ukufiphala kwenyanga okwabonakala ngempela eJudiya eminyakeni engu-2000 edlule, okubekwe ngokuhlobene nezinye izici zokulandelana kwezikhathi nomlando ezitholakala emibhalweni kaJosephus nasemlandweni wamaRoma, kuholela esixazululweni esisodwa kuphela esingase sibe khona.
Usuku lokufa kukaHerode Omkhulu lwaluzokwenzeka ngo-2-3 AD, ngokuhambisana nokuqala okuvamile kwenkathi yobuKristu, okungukuthi usuku lokuzalwa kukaJesu lwaluzoba ngo-1 BC.
