I-Old Believer Cross: iimpawu

Umnqamlezo weOrdodox Old Believer unendlela ehlukileyo eyahlukileyo kwixesha lethu elikhomba. Unama-crosshairs amabini kwinqanaba elingama-90, apho i-crossbar ephezulu ithetha uphawu olunamathele kuKristu ngombhalo othi "UYesu unguKumkani wamaNaziri wamaYuda" kunye ne-oblique crossbar engaphantsi efanekisela "umgca" ohlola izenzo ezilungileyo nezimbi zabo bonke abantu. Ukuthambekela kwayo ngakwesobunxele kuthetha ukuba umphangi oguqukayo wayengowokuqala ukungena eparadesi.

Yiyiphi impawu enomnqamlezo onjalo? Ngesinye isikhathi iphethini lamaKrestu omdala liqukwa kwisihlwele esinezinto ezine ezikhulu kwaye akalokothi abe nomfanekiso woYesu obethelelwe esiphambanweni. Oku kuchazwa njengento yokuba le nto isimboli kufuneka ithetha ukubethela, kodwa ungayibonakalisi. Ukuba kwakukho umfanekiso kaKristu okhoyo emnqamlezweni, umnqamlezo ube ngumqondiso ongekho ukutyhila, kodwa ukuthandaza. Ukugqoka uphawu olufanayo kwifomu efihliweyo (abaKrestu abadala abazange baphathe umnqamlezo emehlweni) kuthetha ukuba leli qela lamakholwa liyisebenzise kwezinye iinjongo (njenge-amulet, esenzo esingamkelekanga).

Umnqophiso oMdala uNgqamlezo uhlukile kwiimeko zakhe zokugqoka ngamadoda nabasetyhini. Kwimizimba yesini esomeleleyo, unemida ecacileyo ye-quadrangular, ngelixa abafazi abakholwayo banxiba eli simboli, bajikelezwe yithuba elongezelelweyo elinjenge-petal of shapes. Emva emnqamlezweni kukho umthandazo, "Ngamana uThixo makasuke, kwaye iintshaba zakhe ziphazamiseke ..." okanye ukutshatyalaliswa koMnqamlezo.

Lo mnqamlezo wabonakala nini? Ukholo lwabadala lwabadala baseRashiya lwalukho ngexesha elidlulileyo. Kodwa ngexesha lokuguqulwa koPatriliar Nikon kwi-1650s wagwetywa, kunye nezinye iimpawu zalabo abenqaba ukwamukela izinto ezintsha zecawa. Ngokukodwa, abaninzi abantu abazange bamkele umnqamlezo onamathathu endaweni yebhanki ebini , kunye nesibhengezo esithathu sokuthi "uHaleluya" endaweni yesibini. Amakholwa amakhulu ayekholelwa ukuba i-kathism emithathu iyaphikisana nokuthanda kukaMama kaThixo.

Yayiyiphi isizathu sokuba ukwahlukana kweRashiya, enye yeempawu ezabe ngumnqamlezo? AbaKrestu abakhulileyo phakathi kwekhulu leshumi elinesixhenxe bafanele babalekele kwimimandla esemaphandleni yelizwe ukuya emaphethelweni, apho kwakhiwa khona uluntu kunye namacandelo. Le ndlela yokugqibela yayinamasiko amaninzi amnandi. Ngokomzekelo, ukusetyenziswa kukaRyabinovsky kuphela kunqula umnqamlezo owenziwe ngomlotha weentaba. Bonke abalandeli bezithethe zamandulo bebumbene ngokubaluleka kobukho kunye nokunyanzeliswa okugqithiseleyo ekuqwalaseleni okhokho babo, ngokombono wabo, kwimikhosi. Kwezinye iimeko, xa uzama ukuguqula ukuhlala kwindawo enokholo olutsha, abantu basebenzise ukuzithoba okukhulu. Iingxelo zamaxhoba kwiminyaka ngamnye zihamba ngamashumi amawaka.

Apho namhlanje ungabona khona iminqamlezo yakudala? Iifoto zeendawo zokuhlala apho amakholwa anjalo ahlala khona ngokubanzi. Iindawo zokuhlala ezinokuthi zifumaneke kwiziko laseRashiya naseAltai. Kukho nezohambo zokuba nolwazi nobomi kunye nobomi beli cwangciso lenkcubeko. Nangona kunjalo, xa utyelela kwidolophana, awuyi kubona iminqamlezo ; AbaKrestu abadala bawagqoke ngokugqithiseleyo phantsi kweengubo zabo.
