Ngokwesiko lama-Orthodox, isonto lokuqala yisikhathi somkhuleko okhuthele futhi onomdlandla nokuzila okuqinile (ukuhleka). U-Tovet kusho ukugwema noma ukuyeka ngokuphelele ukudla, ukuhlanza umphefumulo nomzimba, ukusondela kuNkulunkulu.

I-Origin of Lent

Asifisi nje kuphela ekudleni kokuthunyelwe okukhulu, kodwa futhi nesithakazelo salo leli gama. Ngokusho kweBhayibheli, ukuzila ukudla kuwukudla noma amanzi. UmProfethi uMose wayekhona eBukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu izinsuku ezingama-40, ngaphandle kokudla ukudla noma amanzi, aze abhale phansi amaphilisi amagama esivumelwano. Isikhathi esiningi sokuhlala ngaphandle kwamanzi umuntu ovamile akakwazi.

UKristu wayesehlane izinsuku ezingamashumi amane, futhi akulotshiwe ukuthi Akaphuzanga amanzi, kodwa akazange aqede ngokuphelele ukudla. Khona-ke iNkosi uJesu Kristu yema phambi kwezilingo zonke futhi yabuya ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Uyabona? Ukuzila ukudla kungaphezu nje kokugwema ukudla.

Kodwa ukudla ngesikhathi sokuzila komprofethi uDaniel. Emibhalweni Engcwele kuthiwa akadli inyama nesinkwa esiphundu, akaphuzanga iwayini, futhi akazitholanga amasonto amathathu. Kwakungenxa yokuthunyelwe uDaniyeli ayehlonishwa ukuhlangabezana noMngane kaNkulunkulu. Ukuthunyelwa okunjalo kubizwa ngokuthi - Daniilov futhi kusho ukuvinjelwa kokudla okusheshayo, okungukuthi, ngokugcwele ngokuhambisana nokudla ngesikhathi seLente yamaKristu akholwayo.

Iphunga livela eNtabeni iSinayi, lapho uMose ethandaza khona, futhi wafakwa ngabaPhostoli ngokukhumbula ukuzila kukaKristu ehlane.

Kuyisici ukuthi kunzima ukugcizelela ukusetshenziswa kokuzila kusuka ekubukeni kokuthuthukisa yonke imvelo. Kubonakala sengathi ukudla okunomsoco ngesikhathi seLent kuqinisa ukuzivikela. Amakholwa agcina lokhu okuthunyelwe ayengaphansi kokucindezeleka, agula kancane futhi aphile isikhathi eside.

Ukuhlanzwa okungokomoya nokungcweliswa okwamanje kusho ukuthandaza njalo, futhi kuyadingeka kakhulu ukuthethelela bonke abantu abaphikisana nabo noma ukungezwani. Encwadini ka-Isaya esahlukweni 58 kubhaliwe ukuthi, ngokugubha kokuzila okulungile, uNkulunkulu uthembisa ukuphulukiswa ngokomzimba nokuvikelwa kwakhe.

Ukudla i-Lent ukuzila ukudla kokudla okusheshayo (okungavumelani). Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zinsuku ziyi:

• Umthandazo njalo, amaculo angokomoya;
• Ukwenqaba imikhuba emibi nakho konke okuphazamisa ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu;
• Ukuphenduka, ukuthethelelwa.

ISonto Lama-Orthodox likhuthaza ukuthi amaKrestu akholwe, athembeka ngokuthembeka ukudla okunempilo okusheshayo okukhulu, akufanele adle ukudla kwesilwane:

• Inyama, kuhlanganise nezinhlanzi,
• Ubisi,
• Amaqanda.

Kutholakala futhi kungabikho kokudla okusheshayo, okuqukethwe kokudla okuthile.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo ngosuku lokumenyezelwa kweNdodanakazi Ebusisiwe, ukudla izitsha zokudoba kuvunyelwe. Futhi izitsha zokudoba zivunyelwe ngosuku lweSonto lePalm (Ukungena kweNkosi eJerusalema).

Ezikhathini zasendulo, iLent Great yaqaphela. Lezi kwakuyizinsuku zokuqedwa komdlalo ojabulisayo, amathiyetha avaliwe, imidlalo imisiwe. Futhi, ukuhweba inyama kumile, futhi abantu abazithobayo abazange baphume ngisho nezindlu ngaphandle kwezidingo ezikhethekile.

Namuhla, amakholwa ambalwa, akhethe ukudla okusheshayo okukhulu, anamathela ngokuqinile emithethweni yama-monastic. Kodwa amanye amaKristu, ngokuphambene nalokho, kuzo zonke lezi zinsuku wenqaba ngokuphelele ukudla, futhi ezinsukwini ezimbili zokuqala abaphuzi amanzi noma. Okungenani, ungadli inyama ngesikhathi sokuzila, cishe noma yikuphi umKristu wama-Orthodox.
