Ko e Hā ʻa e Lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú Fekauʻaki mo e Kilisimasí?

Tali ʻa e Tohi Tapú

 ʻOku ʻikai ke ʻomai ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻa e ʻaho ʻaloʻi ʻo Sīsuú, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke pehē ai ʻoku totonu ke tau kātoangaʻi ʻa hono ʻaho ʻaloʻí. Hangē ko e fakamatala ʻi he McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia: “Ko e kātoangaʻi ʻo e Kilisimasí ʻoku ʻikai ko ha fekau fakaʻotua ia pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e tupu ia mei he [Fuakava Foʻoú].”

 ʻI hono kehé, ko hano vakaiʻi ʻa e hisitōlia ʻo e Kilisimasí ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa ʻene tupu mei he ngaahi ouau fakalotu fakapanganí. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻoku tau fakalotomamahiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá kapau ʻoku tau feinga ke lotu kiate ia ʻi ha founga ʻoku ʻikai te ne hōifua ki ai.—ʻEkisoto 32:5-7.

Hisitōlia ʻo e ngaahi tōʻonga ʻi he Kilisimasí

  1.   Kātoangaʻi ʻo e ʻaho ʻaloʻi ʻo Sīsuú: “Naʻe ʻikai kātoangaʻi ʻe he muʻaki kau Kalisitiané ʻa e ʻaho ʻaloʻi ʻo [Sīsuú] he naʻa nau vakai ki he kātoangaʻi ʻo e fāʻeleʻi ʻo ha taha ko ha tōʻonga fakapangani.”—The World Book Encyclopedia.

  2.   ʻAho 25 ʻo Tīsema: ʻOku ʻikai ha fakamoʻoni naʻe ʻaloʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻi he ʻaho ko iá. ʻOku ngalingali naʻe fili ʻe he kau taki lotú ʻa e ʻaho ko ení ke fenāpasi mo e ngaahi kātoanga fakapangani naʻe fai ʻi he puli ʻa e laʻaá ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momokó pe ofi ki ai.

  3.   Foaki meʻaʻofa, kātoanga kai, paati: ʻOku pehē ʻe he The Encyclopedia Americana: “Ko e Sātunaliá, ʻa e kātoanga faka-Loma naʻe kātoangaʻi ʻi he vaeuaʻanga ʻo Tīsemá, naʻe ʻomai ai ʻa e sīpinga ki he ngaahi tōʻonga lahi ʻo e fakafiefia ʻi he Kilisimasí. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe haʻu mei he kātoangá ni ʻa e kātoanga kai tōtuʻa, ko e foaki meʻaʻofa, mo e tutu teʻelango.” ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻi he Encyclopædia Britannica naʻe “tāpuni ʻa e ngāue mo e pisinisi kotoa pē” lolotonga ʻa e Sātunaliá.

  4.   Maama Kilisimasi: Fakatatau ki he The Encyclopedia of Religion, naʻe teuteuʻi ʻe he kau ʻIulopé honau ngaahi ʻapí “ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi maama mo e ʻakau lau mata kehekehe” ke kātoangaʻi ʻaki ʻa e fakapoʻuli ʻa e laʻaá he taimi momokó pea ke tauʻiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi laumālie ʻulí.

  5.   ʻAkau Kilisimasi: “Ko e lotu ki he ʻakaú,ʻa ē naʻe failahia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau pangani ʻi ʻIulopé, ne hokohoko mai ia hili ʻenau ului ki he lotu faka-Kalisitiané.” Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi founga naʻe hokohoko mai ai ʻa e lotu ki he ʻakaú ko e tōʻonga ʻo hono “fokotuʻu ha fuʻu ʻakau ko e Yule ʻi ha hūʻanga pe ʻi loto ʻi he falé ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga he vaeuaʻanga ʻo e taimi momokó.”​—Encyclopædia Britannica.
