Sedikit catatan saja Bung Radityo, Saya kurang menangkap yang Anda maksud di paragraf di bawah. Paskah Kristen adalah perayaan Kebangkitan Kristus. Hari kematianNya dinamai Jumat Agung (atau Jumat Suci atau lainnya terserah tradisi), 3 hari sebelum hari Minggu Kebangkitan.
Lalu 50 hari yang dimaksud adalah perayaan turunnya Roh Kudus (Pentakosta). # The word comes from the Greek which means fifty. So, Pentecost was a celebration on the fiftieth day after Passover. It was a culmination of the feast of weeks (Exodus 34:22,23). Pentecost in the NT is the arrival of the Holy Spirit for the church (Acts 2). At Pentecost the disciples of Jesus were gathered and upon the filling of the Holy Spirit, they heard a great wind and spoke in tongues as tongues of fire that settled upon them. ... www.carm.net/dictionary/dic_p-r.htm # The commemoration of the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus following his ascension, Pentecost is considered the "birthday" of the Christian church. (Acts 2:1-11) It comes 50 days after Easter (Pascha, Orthodox Easter). Roman Catholic and Protestant Christians observe Pentecost on a different date than Orthodox Christians. abacus.bates.edu/admin/offices/chaplain/calendar/glossary.html # This term originated in the Old Testament "Feast of Pentecost" which was 50 days after Passover. The Christian Church adopted this term when, on the Feast of Pentecost," the disciples and apostles of Jesus were in an upper room waiting to be "clothed with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). When the promised Holy Spirit descended upon them, they were all filled and began to speak the word of God boldly. Many spoke in tongues, prophesied and later performed healings. ... www.st-michaels-buffalo.org/Definitions.htm Salam, Ida Khouw --- In mediacare@yahoogroups.com, radityo djadjoeri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Upacara Korban ala Kristen > > Menurut seorang teman yang pengamat agama-agama Samawi, umat Kristen tidak > mementingkan Baitullah Sulaiman untuk peribadatan mereka. Mereka juga meyakini, domba Paskah telah diganti dengan kematian Isa di kayu salib. Sampai sekarang perayaan Paskah ke III Kristen dirayakan pada hari yang berdekatan dengan Paskah II umat Yahudi dan orang Samaria. > > Sementara Paskah I masih dirayakan umat Islam sebagai peringatan > pengorbanan Ibrahim. Beberapa komunitas Kristen masih merayakan 'korban' 50 hari setelah Paskah, yang bertepatan dengan thanksgiving Yahudi. Di daerah Mojowarno, mereka mempersembahkan hasil bumi seperti padi, pepaya, kerajinan tangan, tas dan sebagainya. Di tempat lain yang pola hidupnya tidak lagi bercocok tanam, mereka mempersembahkan uang, hasil jahitan, kerajinan tangan lain. Namun intinya tetap sama: "Thanksgiving Day".
