Simboze amaCelt asendulo nokusungulwa koMbuso Ongcwele WamaRoma. Singaqhubeka, manje, ngokuvela kuka-All Hallow's Eve. Uyabona, ngisho neholidi lobuKristu lizoba nezinkinga ngokuhamba kwamakhulu eminyaka. Ngempela, ekuqaleni, bebengakwazi ukunquma nokuthi bazowugubha nini.

Sizwile esihlokweni sokugcina ukuthi uPapa Gregory I wayesungule i-All Hallows Eve, kepha kwakunzima ukubamba kuzo zonke izingxenye zombuso. UPapa Boniface IV waqamba igama elithi All Saints 'Day ngoMeyi 13, 610 CE njengosuku lokuhlonishwa kwalabo abafa njengabafel' ukholo ngenxa yokholo lwabo ngaphandle kokuvunywa ngokusemthethweni kwebandla. Kamuva ngekhulu lesikhombisa lapho leli holide lalizohanjiswa ngoNovemba 1 nguPapa Gregory III ukuze alandele i-All Hallows Eve. Usuku lukaSanta lonke, okwesikhashana, lwaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi iHallowowmas. Wonke ama-Hallows Eve aba yi-All Hallows Even eyancishiselwa i-Hallowe'en.

Ngenkathi isonto liqhubeka nokunciphisa amaCelt ngomlilo wabo kanye nokujabula, into enhle eyenzeka ngalesi sikhathi ukuyeka umhlatshelo. AmaCelt kungenzeka angakholiseki ukucisha umlilo, kepha ayeka ukushisa abantu nezilwane emlilweni. AmaKrestu azokweseka kuphela isigwebo sentambo lapho sigunyazwa yisonto. Kwakungalesi sikhathi futhi, lapho amaKrestu ekugcineni abeka khona izinkolelo zawo ngokwanele ukukholisa amaCelt ukuthi isidingo semililo sasikhona ukugcina uSathane ekhona kunokuhlonipha izinkathi zonyaka.

Manje, ake sifake olunye usuku lokugubha ukuze sicabangele ukuthi luzokwehla ngasikhathi sinye. Yize kunempikiswano yokuthi kwenzeka nini, kucatshangwa ukuthi ngo-988 CE Usuku Lwemiphefumulo Yonke lwagubha okokuqala ngumbhishobhi waseBenedictine uSanta Odilo. Yabekwa ngoNovemba 2 njengolunye usuku lokuthandazela labo ababebhajwe ePurgatory (ngokusobala babedinga izinsuku eziningi zokuthandazela labo bantu abampofu). Siyazi ukuthi kwakungu-1000 CE lapho uPapa Sylvester II evuma lo mgubho.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, isonto lobuKristu labhekana nekhefu langempela langempela. Yize umbuso waseRoma wawusuhambe kudala, iSonto noPapa base besabusa. KwakuseHalloween ngo-1517 lapho uMartin Luther aqala khona lokho okwakuzokwaziwa ngokuthi inguquko yamaProthestani. AmaProthestani ayenokusetshenziswa okuncane ngezindlela ezindala zobuqaba kuneSonto LamaKatolika, kepha aqhubeka nokwenza imikhosi yasekwindla. Kwakunokuthile ngakho okwakugxile kakhulu kangangokuba baqhubeka nokugubha ukuphela kwesikhathi sokuvuna. Mhlawumbe, kungenxa yokuthi babedinga ikhefu ekupheleni kwawo wonke lowo msebenzi. Mhlawumbe bekuyinto ebisabizwa kubo ezingeni eliyisisekelo.

Isikhathi esiningi esidlulile nomlando weholide lethu, kanye nawo wonke umlando, uyaxaka ngezikhathi zobumnyama, ukuQulwa Kwamacala Ezihlubuki kanye nokugqashuka kokulingwa kwabathakathi kulo lonke izwekazi. Kwakuqala ngqa ukuthi abathakathi bazihlanganise ne-Halloween. Imilingo yabantu neminye imikhuba yamasiko yaqhamuka phakathi kwabantu ngokuqedwa kwesigaba samaDruid. Izinyanga ezinamandla nabenzi bezintelezi babefunwa njalo ngabantu bendawo lapho bedinga usizo. Ukubhula kwakuyingxenye ebalulekile yokwenza kwabo futhi basebenzisa imicabango namandla e-Halloween kanye nokuncipha kwesihenqo ukubikezela ikusasa nokuxhumana nabafileyo futhi ngasese. Futhi ngenkathi iningi lifuna amadoda nabafazi abahlakaniphile ukuthola usizo, babezokhomba neminwe ngokushesha okukhulu uma ukwelashwa kungasebenzi futhi babeke icala lobubi kulowo ophulukisayo. Kwakuwumsebenzi owesabekayo ukusho okuncane!

Siyazi ukuthi umlando ocebile womlomo wagcina amanye amasiko ephila ezingqondweni zabantu ngisho nasemahoreni amnyama emlandweni wethu, futhi isizathu esenza sazi lokhu ukuthi lapho abantu baseYurophu beqala ukuwela ulwandle baye eMelika , qagela ukuthi yini eqale ukugcwala futhi? IHalloween yasinda ohambweni olunzima futhi yaqala ukuphuma yaya emakoloni ahlukahlukene, yenza imikhuba emisha ngenkathi ibambe leyo yakudala. Kepha lokho… lokho kungokwesikhathi esizayo.

Yebo, sesicishe safinyelela emlenzeni wokugcina wohambo lwethu. Ngiyethemba ubulokhu ulujabulela lolu hambo ngomlando weholide lethu esilithandayo. Ngijoyine futhi ngesonto elizayo njengoba silandelela i-Halloween kusuka ezikoloni kuya ezikhathini zanamuhla e-United States!
