Leli holide liphakathi kwalabayishumi nambili - amaholidi wesonto abaluleke kakhulu ngonyaka. Usuku lapho uMkhosi kaMsindisi weNkosi egubha khona kungashintshi futhi liwela ngoFebhuwari 15. Kodwa le nombolo ihambelana nesitayela esisha, futhi ngokusho kwekhalenda elidala langaphambi kokuguquka kwaba ngo-Februwari 2. Ukuze uqonde ukuthi yiliphi igama elithi "Sblenya" lisho, umuntu kufanele abheke isichazamazwi SakwaSlavic Old. Ngempela lihunyushwe ngokuthi "umhlangano". Ubani-ke ohlangane naye ekuqaleni kukaFebruwari ukuthi lo mcimbi okwamanje ukhathazeka wonke amaKristu? Ukuze siqonde lokhu, kuzodingeka sidluliselwe eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbili edlule, lapho uKristu esemncane, ukulungele ukuvakashela ithempeli likaNkulunkulu okokuqala empilweni yakhe.
Umlando weholide
Ngokusho komthetho kaMose, bonke abazali bamaJuda abahlonipha iTestamente Elidala, uma bebenomntwana wokutholwa, kwakumelwe bamlethe ethempelini ngesikhathi esinqunyiwe. Ngaphambili, omama babengavunyelwe e-altare. Abantu beza lapha hhayi ngezandla ezingenalutho, kwakudingeka ukuba banikele okuthile. Umndeni weMariya uMariya wayebhekwa njengampofu, babengenayo imali yewundlu. Njengesisulu sokuhlanza, owesifazane wanikeza ihobe. Ehambisana nomuntu wakhe olungileyo uJoseph the Betrothed - umyeni weNdodanakazi Ebusisiwe, uthisha nomnakekeli kaKristu ebusheni bakhe.
Kwakuyilo mzuzwana ukuthi isiprofetho sasendulo satholakala emngceleni wethempeli. Omunye umdala wasendulo okuthiwa uSimeon Bogopriimets wayekade ehumusha incwadi yasendulo eyabhalwa umprofethi u-Isaya ngokwakhe. Lapho kwakukhona imibhalo elandelayo: "Intombi iyakwamukela futhi ibelethe indodana esibelethweni." Ufuna ukulungisa iphutha, ekholelwa ukuthi igama elithi "Virgo" alihambisani nalokhu. Emva kwakho konke, intombi, ngama-akhawunti wonke, ingaba yintombi kuphela . Kodwa iNgelosi ayizange isinike, futhi yathembisa ukuthi angeke afe kuze kube yilapho ebona iNdodana yakhe emehlweni akhe. KuMsindisi, uMdala wahlangana nomntwana uMariya, futhi wakwazi ukuthatha ingane yakhe ezandleni zakhe. USimeyoni wabikezela ikusasa elihle, ukuthi lo mntwana uzothatha ukukhanya kokukholwa kweqiniso kubo bonke aboni futhi akhanyise abeZizwe. Ngenxa yalokhu, iSonto lamukela egameni le-Epiphany futhi laqala ukudumisa njengongcwele.
Indlela yokugubha uMsindisi weNkosi?
Lo Mhlangano omkhulu wawufanekisela kakhulu. Kwenzeke ukuthi iTestamente Elidala lihlangabezane neTestamente Elisha futhi linikeze kulo. Umkhosi weNkosi ugujwa ngamasonto ama-Orthodox namaKatolika. EMpumalanga, lokhu kwaqalwa kancane kancane, ngasekuqaleni kwekhulu le-4, kanti iNtshonalanga yamukela lesi siko eminyakeni eyikhulu kamuva, kusukela ngekhulu lesihlanu. Waqale wabizwa ngokuthi "usuku lwamashumi amane kusukela e-Epiphany." Ngosuku lwama-40 uMama kaNkulunkulu wangeniswa esiteji sethempeli. Kamuva eNtshonalanga, leli gama laguquka laba "iMkhosi Yokuhlanzwa," elixhuma ukuthi umkhosi wokuhlanza wawugcinwe ethempelini. Futhi ngo-1970, elinye igama lenziwa ngokomthetho. Manje babiza uSensei "Ukugubha Umhlatshelo KaNkulunkulu."
Kusukela ngekhulu le-VI, amaScon aqala ukugubha ngokumangalisayo, ngenxa yesimangaliso esisodwa esenzeka ngonyaka ka-544. Khona-ke uConstantinople (okwamanje u- Istanbul ) washaywa ulwandle olwesabekayo, futhi amanye amazwe ombuso (i-Antiyokiya) afa ngenxa yokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu. Kodwa kumKristu oyedwa weqiniso, amazulu anikezela kahle - ngokugcwele nesixuku esikhulu sabantu ukuze baqaphele lesi sigwebo, bengayinaki isifo.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, leli holide lithole ukunakwa okuningi. Nakuba ekhuluma eNkosini, azinikezele kuKristu, kodwa okuqukethwe kwakhe kuseduze neTheotokos. Le nsizakalo ngokwayo iyenzeka ngezingubo eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ephethe igama leTheotokos, futhi iqala ngamagama athi: "Thokozani Virgin Obusisiwe ...". Okushiwo Umkhosi Ukubonakala kweNkosi kubonakala ngokucacile kumifanekiso yasendulo. Uvame ukufanekisa indoda endala uSimeon, othabatha umama kaNkulunkulu kaKristu omncane. Oyingcwele ufanekisela izwe elidala, elibona ukuza koMsindisi.
