“Jekk l-Iben jeħliskom, tkunu tabilħaqq ħielsa.”  Ġw 8:36

F’Ħadd il-Palm nisimgħu dwar ir-rakkont tal-passjoni ta’ Ġesù, kif ukoll id-daħla tiegħu f’Ġerusalemm waqt il-purċissjoni bil-friegħi, li ssir qabel ma nibdew il-quddies. 

Fl-antik il-friegħi tal-palm kienu simbolu ta’ rebħa. Fit-Testment il-Qadim, insibu li l-palm kien jintuża f’okkażjonijiet ta’ festi, ferħ u vittorja. Infatti s-slaten kienu jiġu milqugħin bi friegħi tal-palm mifruxin quddiemhom… Read more »

“L-Ispirtu tal-Mulej fuqi, għax hu kkonsagrani.” Luqa 4:18

Fil-ħames Ħadd tar-Randan nisimgħu dwar ir-rakkont tal-qawmien ta’ Lazzru. 

Iż-żejt huwa simbolu tal-fejqan u l-qawwa tal-Ispirtu s-Santu. Fil-kultura Lhudija, iż-żejt kien jintuża biex jippreparaw il-ġisem għad-difna. Insibu wkoll li fit-Testment il-Ġdid, id-dixxipli kienu jużaw iż-żejt biex ifejqu l-morda, li fil-Knisja Kattolika għadna nagħmluha sal-lum bis-sagrament tal-griżma tal-morda għax nemmnu li ż-żejt imqaddes isaħħaħ l-ispirtu u l-ġisem, kif ukoll jaħfer id-dnubiet.
