Rhoqo ngonyaka nge-31 ka-Okthobha izigidi zibhiyozela iHalloween ngokunxiba njengabathakathi, iidemon kunye needemon.

Olu suku ayisombhiyozo nje wabantu abadala, ikwalithuba lokuba abantwana baye kwindlu ngendlu, ngokufuthi befihlakele ukuze bakhwaze okanye baphathe.

Igama elithi Halloween lisuka kwiholide yamaRoma Katolika yoSuku lweeNgcwele zonke, umnyhadala Zonke iiNgcwele okanye Zonke iiHallows (»ungcwele« uthetha »ukwenza ngcwele« okanye »ukuqwalasela into engcwele«). Kubhiyozelwa ngoNovemba 1st. Usuku Lwabangcwele bonke lukhumbula abo bangcwele abangenalo usuku olukhethekileyo lwamagama kunyaka wecawa yamaRoma Katolika. Usuku olungaphambi koSuku lweeNgcwele zonke lwaba Yonke iHallows Eve ebizwa, intsingiselo yangaphambi koSuku lwaBangcwele bonke - kwaye iHallows nguEva emva kwayo yonke loo nto halloween yiba.

Emva Inzululwazi Britannica Ngokomzekelo, imvelaphi yeHalloween isusela kumthendeleko wamaDruids, umyalelo wababingeleli abangabahedeni kwiGaul yamandulo nakwiBritani yangaphambi kobuKristu: “KwiBritani yamandulo naseIreland, umbhiyozo wamaCeltic eSamhain wawubhiyozelwa ngo-Oktobha 31, xa ehlotyeni. yayisondela esiphelweni.

Lo mhla wawukwayiNyobi eNtsha ngamaxesha eCeltic kunye ne-Anglo-Saxon kunye nesihlandlo somnye wemithendeleko yomlilo yamandulo, apho iibhakana ezinkulu zazilayitwa ezincotsheni zeenduli ukugxotha imimoya engendawo. Lo mhla wawunxulumene nokuqhutywa kweenkomo emadlelweni. Imithetho neengqeshiselwano nazo zahlaziywa. Imiphefumlo yabangasekhoyo yatyelela amakhaya abo amadala ngolu suku (kwakukholeleka) kwaye umnyhadala wasekwindla wathatha intsingiselo engendawo kuba kwakusithiwa uhlaselwe ziziporho, amagqwirha, oothili, iikati ezimnyama, amagwinya namadimoni alo lonke uhlobo. Yayilixesha lokubeka amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo awayelawula iinkqubo zendalo.

Umbhiyozo wamaCeltic eSamhain wawuphawula ukuqalisa kobusika yaye wawuquka ubusuku obandulela nosuku ngokwalo (ngo-Oktobha 31 nowoku-1 kaNovemba). Yahlala idumile phakathi kwamaCelt nasemva kobuKristu baseBritani ngenkulungwane yesihlanu. ICawa YamaKristu yaseBritani yamkela umbhiyozo weSamhain ngokumisela uSuku Lwazo Zonke Iingcwele ngolo suku. De kwasekupheleni kwenkulungwane yesibhozo, uSuku Lwazo Zonke Iingcwele lwalubhiyozelwa ngoMeyi 13.

Njengoko isiko laseBrithani lokubhiyozela uSuku lweSaints ngoNovemba 1 lusasazeka kwamanye amazwe, uPapa uGregory IV (827-844) wahambisa ngokusemthethweni umthendeleko ukususela ngoMeyi 13 ukuya kuNovemba 1st.

I<em>New Catholic Encyclopedia ithi isizathu “yayikunganelanga ukutya kwabahambi ngezonqulo abaninzi ababeze eRoma ngoMeyi,” kodwa iyavuma ukuba abanye babekholelwa ukuba “umthendeleko kaNovemba waqaliswa eGaul waza wamkelwa yiRoma ngoko nangoko.

Izithethe zaseSamhain zasinda kwimimandla yeCeltic yaseBritani: eIreland, eSkotlani naseWales. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, abaninzi baphulukana nentsingiselo yabo yonqulo, kwaye uEva Wabo Bonke Abangcwele waba ngumnyhadala wehlabathi, 'nangona iinkolelo ezininzi zemveli zamaCelt zisenokuthi zenziwe ngobo busuku. Nantoni na enxulumene nokuvumisa yahlala idumile ngaloo ngokuhlwa. Abantu abadala babenxiba izigqubuthelo ezifihlakeleyo nezigqubuthelo zobuso, bexelisa izidalwa ezingaphaya kwamandla emvelo, yaye betyelela amakhaya apho ngokufuthi babenikwa ukutya neziselo,” wabhala watsho uLeonard N. Primiano kwingxelo ethi “Halloween” Encyclopedia of Religion.

Abaphambukeli baseIreland nabaseSkotlani beza namasiko oSuku lweeNgcwele zonke eUnited States. Emva kokufuduka kwabantu abaninzi baseIreland ngexesha lokusilela kwezityalo zetapile kunye neNdlala enkulu eIreland (1845-1852), iHalloween yabhiyozelwa kwilizwe lonke.

Isiko labantwana abangena kwindlu ngendlu bekhwaza besithi “iqhinga okanye unyango” nalo laqala emva kubabingeleli bamandulo abangamaDruid ababengena kwindlu ngendlu becela kokubini ukutya kweentswelo zabo namadini koothixo babo. Ukuba babenganikwa kutya endlwini, babeza kubhula ngeedemon endlwini. Imithombo yembali ithi omnye ummi wale ndlu kwafuneka afe kwisithuba esingangonyaka.

Ezi druid zaziphethe iitheniphu ezinkulu ezizigqobhoze ngaphakathi zaza zakrola ubuso obungaphambili. Oku kwakumela umoya weedemon owawuxhomekeke kumandla nolwazi lwawo. Itheniphu yayikhanyiswa ngaphakathi ngekhandlela kwaye yayisetyenziswa ngamadruid njengesibane xa besiya kwindlu ngendlu ngokuhlwa. Xa eli siko lafika eMelika ngenkulungwane ye-18 neye-19, iitheniphu zazingekho njengesiqhelo. Ngoko ke, ithanga lithathe indawo yetheniphu.

Nangona i-Seventh-day Adventist Church ingakhange ikhuphe isikhundla esisemthethweni esikhethekileyo kwiHalloween, ukugatya kwayo ubugqi nobudemon kuthintela naluphi na ulwamkelo olu hlobo lomthendeleko.

IHalloween kunye nezithethe zayo azinangcambu kwizibhalo okanye kuluntu lwamaKristu. Asekelwe ngokuqinileyo kubugqi nobuhedeni. Namhlanje, nangona kunjalo, ezi mvelaphi ziye zalityalwa okanye kudlalelwa phantsi. Nangona kunjalo, naluphi na uqheliselo oluvela kubugqi aluhambelani neemfundiso zeZibhalo ( Levitikus 3: 20,6 ).

Ekubeni abaninzi namhlanje bengasakholelwa kubukho bomtyholi needemon zakhe, abayiboni ingozi ekugculeleni ezi “zinto zonqulo zexesha elidluleyo.” Abantwana bafundiswa ukuba akukho magqwirha nemimoya emdaka yaye kumnandi ukunxiba njengesiporho okanye idlozi. Ukukhanyelwa kwale mihla kukaSathana namandla eedemon kuchasene ngokucacileyo neZibhalo. Ukususela kwiGenesis ukusa kwiSityhilelo, iBhayibhile iyabuqinisekisa ubukho bukaSathana noomoya beedemon ( Genesis 1:1; Yobhi 3,1:1,6; Mateyu 8,31:12,9; ISityhilelo XNUMX:XNUMX )

Kwimfundo kubalulekile ukuba singatyala iingcamango ezibubuxoki ezingqondweni zabantwana. IBhayibhile ithi: “Yiqeqeshe inkwenkwe ngokwendlela efanele ihambe, khon’ ukuze xa ithe yamkhulu ingaphambuki kuyo.” ( IMizekeliso 22,6:XNUMX ) Ukukuxelela ukuba kukhuselekile ukuxelisa imimoya engendawo kuya kube kuchasene noThixo. ngenxa.

UThixo walumkisa amaSirayeli kwiTestamente eNdala ukuba angazibandakanyi nobugqi. Maze kungafunyanwa namnye kuni ocandisa unyana wakhe, nokuba yintombi yakhe, nokuba yintombi yakhe, novumisayo, noneshologu, noneshologu, noneshologu, nosiyazi, noneshologu, nosiyazi, nosiyazi. clairvoyant, okanye umntu othetha nabafileyo. Kuba balisikizi kuYehova bonke abasukuba besenza into enjalo; ngenxa yaloo masikizi uYehova uThixo wakho wobagxotha elifeni labo phambi kwakho.”— Duteronomi 5:18,10-12 . , eli cebiso lisasebenza nanamhlanje.

Ukuba nenxaxheba kwi<em>Halloween kusenokubonakala kuyinto engenabungozi kubantwana nakubantu abadala, kodwa yenye yeendlela ezininzi kaSathana zokuqhatha abantu ukuba bakholelwe ukuba ihlabathi lemimoya needemon likhuselekile ukudlala nalo.

Nangona uEllen G. White, umseki weCawa yamaSabatha, engazange ayikhankanye iHalloween, sekunjalo uyalumkisa nxamnye nokudlala nokusebenzelana nemimoya izihlandlo ezininzi. “Abaninzi bayothuka xa becinga ngokubuza umntu osebenzelana nemimoya. Kodwa bahendwa zezona ndlela zinomtsalane ngakumbi zokusebenzelana nemimoya,” watsho Ukuvangela okanye Seite 606.

AmaSeventh-day Adventist ayazi ukuba ukusebenzelana nemimoya kunobuso obuninzi. Ezinye zibonakala zingenabungozi ngakumbi kwaye zihlekisa ngakumbi. Sekunjalo, bakhokelela abantwana kunye nabantu abadala kude nenyaniso kaThixo yaye banokuba lilitye lokuchasa ekubandakanyekeni ngakumbi kubugqi.
