Umlando nemvelaphi yezingelosi esihlahleni sikaKhisimusi
Izingelosi ngokwesiko zibekwa phezu kwezihlahla zikaKhisimusi ukumela indima yazo ekuzalweni kukaJesu.
Izingelosi eziningana ziyavela endabeni esebhayibhelini kaKhisimusi wokuqala. UGabriel, ingelosi enkulu yesambulo, wazisa iNcasakazi uMariya ukuthi uzoba ngunina kaJesu. Ingelosi ihambela uJosefu ngephupho ukumtshela ukuthi uzokhonza njengobaba kaJesu emhlabeni. Futhi izingelosi ziyavela ezulwini ngaphezulu kweBetlehema ukumemezela nokugubha ukuzalwa kukaJesu.
Ingxenye yokugcina yendaba - izingelosi ezibonakala ziphakeme ngaphezu koMhlaba - ezinikeza incazelo ecacile yokuthi kungani izingilosi zibekwa phezulu kwezihlahla zikaKhisimusi.
Amasiko okuqala esihlahla sikaKhisimusi
Izihlahla ezihlala ziluhlaza zaziyizimpawu zokuphila zobuqaba kwamakhulu eminyaka ngaphambi kokuba amaKhristu azamukele njengezihlobiso zikaKhisimusi. Abantu basendulo babethandaza futhi bekhuleka ngaphandle phakathi kwezingulube futhi babehlobisa amakhaya abo ngamagatsha ahlala eluhlaza phakathi nezinyanga zobusika.
Ngemuva kokuthi umbusi waseRoma uConstantine akhethe uDisemba 25 njengosuku lokugubha uKhisimusi, amaholide awela kulo lonke elaseYurophu phakathi nobusika. Kwakunengqondo ukuthi amaKristu amukele amasiko obuqaba esifunda ahambisana nobusika ukugubha iholide.
NgeNkathi Ephakathi, amaKristu aqala ukuhlobisa "Izihlahla zePharadesi" ezazifanekisela Isihlahla Sokuphila Ensimini Yase-Edeni. Babethela izithelo emagatsheni ezihlahla ukufanekisela izindaba ezisebhayibhelini zokuwa kuka-Adamu no-Eva futhi baphanyeka nezingqebelengwane ezenziwe nge-pasita ukumelela isiko lobuKhristu lokuhlangana.
Isikhathi sokuqala emlandweni oqoshiwe wokuthi isihlahla sasihlotshiswe ngokukhethekile ukugubha uKhisimusi sasiseLatvia ngo-1510, lapho abantu bebeka ama-roses emagatsheni esihlahla somsayiphu. Isiko lathola ukuthandwa ngokushesha futhi abantu baqala ukuhlobisa izihlahla zikaKhisimusi emasontweni, ezikweleni nasezindlini ngezinto ezenziwe ngemvelo ezinjengezithelo namantongomane, kanye namabhisikidi abhakwe ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi nezingelosi.
Izingelosi Zesihlahla Esiphezulu
Ekugcineni amaKhristu aqala ukubeka inani lezingelosi phezulu ezihlahleni zawo zikaKhisimusi ukuze abonise okushiwo izingelosi ezavela eBethlehem ukumemezela ukuzalwa kukaJesu .Uma bengasebenzisi umhlobiso wengelosi njengesihla saphezulu, imvamisa inkanyezi. Ngokwendaba esebhayibhelini kaKhisimusi, kwavela inkanyezi esibhakabhakeni ukuqondisa abantu endaweni uJesu azalelwa kuyo.
Ngokubeka izingelosi phezulu ezihlahleni zawo zikaKhisimusi, amanye amaKristu futhi ayesenza isimemezelo sokholo esenzelwe ukwethusa imimoya emibi kude namakhaya abo.
I-Streamer ne-Tinsel: Ingelosi 'Izinwele'
Ngemuva kokuba amaKhristu eqale ukuhlobisa izihlahla zikaKhisimusi, kwesinye isikhathi enza sengathi izingelosi empeleni yizo ezihlobise lezi zihlahla. Le kwakuyenye indlela yokwenza amaholide kaKhisimusi ajabulise izingane. Abantu babopha izihlahlana zamaphepha bezungeze izihlahla futhi batshela izingane ukuthi izihambisi ezingamakhanda zezingilazi zezinwele ezazibanjelwe emagatsheni lapho izingelosi zincika eduze njengoba zazihlobisa.
Kamuva, ngemuva kokuba abantu bethole ukuthi bangasikhipha kanjani isiliva (ngakho-ke i-aluminium) ukukhiqiza ama-shiny flowers abizwa ngokuthi ama-tinsels, bawusebenzisa ezihlahleni zabo zikaKhisimusi ukumela izinwele zezingelosi.
Imihlobiso yezingelosi
Imihlobiso yingelosi yokuqala yenziwa ngesandla, njengamakhukhi enziwe ngezingelosi noma imihlobiso yengelosi eyenziwe ngezinto zemvelo ezinjengotshani. Ngawo-1800s, ama-blower engilazi eJalimane enza imihlobiso kaKhisimusi engilazi futhi izingelosi zengilazi zaqala ukuhlobisa izihlahla eziningi zikaKhisimusi emhlabeni wonke.
Ngemuva kokuthi i-Industrial Revolution yenze ukukhiqizwa okuningana kwemihlobiso kaKhisimusi, kuthengiswe izitayela eziningi ezinkulu zemihlobiso yezingelosi ezitolo zomnyango.
Izingelosi zisaqhubeka nokuhlobisa okuthandwa kakhulu kwesihlahla sikaKhisimusi. Imihlobiso yezingelosi ephezulu yobuchwepheshe efakwe ngama-microchips (avumela izingelosi ukuba zikhanye ngaphakathi, zicule, zidanise, zikhulume futhi zidlale amacilongo) manje sezitholakala kabanzi.
