NgoMatshi walo nyaka, watyelela iYerusalem. Enye yezona dolophu zingaqhelekanga nezingaziwayo emhlabeni. Okubangela umdla eYerusalem, isibakala sokuba esi sixeko seenkolo ezintathu: UmKristu, ongumYuda ne-Arabhu. Elinye lazo ezi ngcawa likhona ngokwahlukeneyo kwabanye. Abameli belinye kwezi cawa ezintathu babanga iitempile zabo, ukuzikhusela ilungelo.
Ndifuna ukukuxelela ngale Yerusalem, etyelele. Uhambo lwethu lwalubizwa ngokuba "yiYerusalem yamaKristu", ixabiso lazo ezingama-60 umntu.
IJerusalem sisigxina sokholo kuThixo. Ke ngoko, akunakuphela nje ukutyelela ezinye iindawo kulomzi, kuba azikho.
Into yokuqala esiyityelele yintaba yaseMasinal, apho igadi yeGadi ifumaneka khona (i-Olive Grove),
Apho uYesu wayethandaza khona kunye nabafundi. Embindini wegadi yeGadi yicawe yokunyanga inkosi,
Kwenye into, ikwabizwa ngokuba yiCawe yazo zonke izizwe.
Emva koko emva kokuhamba ngeenyawo, sangena endlwini yentombi enyulu, apho kungcwatyelwa khona uMaria, umama kaYesu. Icawe yabuyiselwa kaninzi, yonke into indala kakhulu, kodwa intle kakhulu! Kule cawa kukho i-icon apho zonke iiconi zeyloyini eNgcwele zizoba!
Emva kokundwendwela le tempile, saya kwelinye. KwiNtaba yeZiyon.
Engcwabeni lemfihlakalo yangokuhlwa, indawo yokuhlwa ye-iIDE. Eli ligumbi elincinci elifanelekileyo kunye nobuqhetseba obuphezulu, kunye neebhedi ezinzwayo. Kule ndawo lingcwaba likaKumkani uDavide.
Kwaye nantsi, apha, abafundi bakaKrestu bafumana ubhaptizo loMoya oyiNgcwele, bethetha ngezinye iilwimi kangangeelwimi ezingama-50 kuvuko lukaYesu, apho umthendeleko wePentekosti.
Itempile yengcwele elandelayo yitempile yengcwaba elingcwele,
Enye yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo zobuKristu!
Le tempile iqulathe iinxalenye ezintathu eziphambili: IGolgotha (isenelitye entabeni)
Ibhokisi yeNkosi netempile yovuko. Kwakhona, emnyango kule tempile kukho isitovu, apho, emva koMnqamlezo, bambeka uYesu, bemgungxula umhlaba kunye ne-peleli ukuba abeke emzimbeni. Ngoku kule ntloko, abantu babeka izinto zalo (izikhadaba, iihekfu, umnqamlezo, i-icons) kwimizuzwana embalwa yokukhupha kwaye abasikelele.
Nakwitempile ye-Senghere ye-Secawer ye-Ista, umlilo ongenayo uyamangalisa, ababingeleli behlabathi lonke basiwa kwiitempile zabo.
Kumbindi wedolophu yakudala, endleleni eya kwitempile yengcwaba elingcwele kukho iqula likaMary,
Ngokutsho kweqela, bekule ndawo uMaria, unina kaYesu wadanduluka xa wayepeyinta.
Inxalenye yokuqukumbela indlela yokuhamba kwethu eYerusalem kukukhala kwabo,
Eyona ndawo ingcwele kubuYuda. Udonga lwentshona locingo lwetempile, namhlanje lulo lonke eliseleyo kwitempile etshabalalisiweyo. Le ndawo inomdla ukuba apha ziintsuku ezisi-7 ngeveki, iiyure ezingama-24 kwiintsuku ezibalulekileyo kunye neentsuku ezingama-365 ngonyaka azithinteli umthandazo. Abantu batyala inqaku labo lokuthandaza kolu luhlu, benethemba lokufumana iimpendulo kwimithandazo yabo.
Udonga lwahlulwe lwangamacandelo amabini: oyindoda nebhinqa, kufutshane nodonga kukho izitulo, abo bathandaza ixesha elide kunye nemithandazo.
EYerusalem, siye saya kwintengiso yeArabhu,
Apho bekunokwenzeka ukufumana izindlu ezahlukeneyo zezilwanyana nakwizinto ezingcwele. Umzekelo, sithenge iringi yombhalo womthandazo wakwa-Israyeli (iishekele ezingama-20 okanye i-5), isikhafu seedola (iidola ezi-5). Senze ukutya okukhoyo kwi-cafe embindini wedolophu yakudala, embindini wazo zonke iindawo. Ikomityi yekofu kwi-cafe enjalo ixabisa i-15 sheke (ngaphantsi kweedola ezi-5). Sityelele ivenkile ye-souverir, apho kunokwenzeka ukuba sithenge umhlaba ongcwele, ii icon, umnqamlezo, oomanzi njalo njalo. Idluliselwe zizindlu zesikhungu apho amaYuda athandaze kuwo.
IYerusalem sisixeko esihle sokuhamba, indawo onokuthi ucoce umphefumlo wakho, iingcinga, thandazela wena kunye nabo ubathandayo kwaye uzive ubukho bukaThixo emhlabeni!
