  • 35-Burial of the Dead
    REGARDING CHRISTIAN DEATH AND BURIAL The burial of a Christian is an occasion of both sorrow and joy—our sorrow in the face of death, and our joy in Jesus’ promise of the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. As the burial liturgy proclaims, “life is changed, not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens.” The Christian burial liturgy looks forward to eternal life rather than backward to past events. It does not primarily focus on the achievements or failures of the deceased; rather, it calls us to proclaim the Good News of Jesus and his triumph over death, even as we celebrate the life and witness of the deceased. The readings should always be drawn from the Bible, and the prayers and music from the Christian tradition. A wake preceding the service and a reception following the service are appropriate places for personal remembrances. Where possible, the burial liturgy is conducted in a church, and it is often celebrated within the context of the Eucharist. The Book of Common Prayer has always admonished Christians to be mindful of their mortality. It is therefore the duty of all Christians, as faithful stewards, to draw up a Last Will and Testament, making provision for the well-being of their families and not neglecting to leave bequests for the mission of the Church. In addition, it is important while in health to provide direction for one’s own funeral arrangements, place of burial, and the Scripture readings and hymns of the burial liturgy, and to make them known to the Priest.

  • Spring: Lent, Easter, Ascension Source
    Spring: Lent, Easter, Ascension Source: www.jahresfeste.ch Lent / Pre-Easter Time (begins on Ash Wednesday, roughly 6 weeks before Easter) preparation process for Easter; Symbols of Easter: lamb, rabbit, egg, Easter tree, ... Lent, beginning Ash Wednesday (earlier = end of carnival) Duration 40 days (excluding Sundays) = biblical number NT: Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert; it was 40 days from Easter to the Ascension. OT: 40 days of the Flood, 40 years wandering of the people of Israel from Egypt to Canaan; Moses’ 40-day encounter with God on Mount Sinai; Elijah’s 40-day journey to Mount Horeb; in the story of Jonah the people had 40 days to return; a woman was considered unclean up to 40 days after birth and only after the visit to the temple as ritually clean again (--> Candlemas, Presentation of the Lord). See also: Jonas spent three days in the belly of the whale before he was vomited out safely on dry land --> we celebrate the resurrection from the dead on the third day after the death of Jesus. History: In early Christianity during Lent the Catechumen (Introduction to Christian doctrine) took place, which was the preparation for the adult baptism in the night before Easter or early on Easter morning. Child baptisms were only popularized in the Middle Ages. Until 300 AD baptism took place in open waters, after that usually in baptismal fonts. Before Christianity became the official religion under Emperor Constantine in the 4th century, the baptism corresponded to a complete break with the previous life of the baptised, which was accompanied by great danger to body and soul.

  • Julia Kostsova
    Julia Kostsova GALLERY ON FIFTH Naples, Florida Julia Kostsova RUSSIAN TRADITIONS Exhibition dedicated to 400 anniversairy of Romanov's Dynasty Russian Traditions Russia is indeed a unique country, which, along with highly developed modern culture carefully preserves the national traditions deeply rooted not only in the Orthodox religion but also in paganism. The Russians still celebrate pagan holidays, many people believe in numerous omens and legends. Christianity gave Russians such great holidays as Easter and Christmas, and Paganism - Maslenitsa and Ivan Kupala. Old traditions are passed on from generation to generation. Easter Easter is the day of the resurrection of Christ. The holiday came to Russia from Byzantium together with Russia's christening in the end of the 10th century. Since then, this Christian holiday has been widely celebrated all over Russia. Christmas Christmas is the holiday of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, whose advent gave people hope for mercy, kindness, truth and eternal life. The Orthodox Church observes Christmas according to the Julian Calendar, on January 7, while Western churches celebrate it on December 25, in accordance with the Gregorian Calendar. Ivan Kupala Even in the time of the ancient pagan deity Ancient Russians used to have Kupalo, the God of summer fertility. In his honor people of sang songs and jumped over the bonfire. This ritual act has become an annual celebration of summer solstice, combining a pagan and Christian traditions. Kupala got the name Ivan after the baptizing of Russia, when he was replaced by John the Baptist (the way he was percepted by common people), who baptized Christ and whose birthday was celebrated on 24 June.

  • The Sunnah of Salaf to Make Istighfar at Suhur
    The Sunnah of Salaf to make Istighfar at Suhur The Sunnah of Salaf to make Istighfar at Suhur ﺑﺴﻢ اﻟﻠﻪ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ اﻟﺮﺣﻴﻢ :said ( ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ) Allah ْ ْ اﻟﺼَّﺎﺑِﺮِﻳﻦَ وَاﻟﺼَّﺎدِﻗِﻴﻦَ وَاﻟ ﻘَﺎﻧِﺘِﻴﻦَ وَاﻟ ﻤُﻨﻔِﻘِﻴﻦَ ْ َ وَاﻟ ﻤُﺴْﺘَﻐْﻔِﺮِﻳﻦَ ﺑِﺎﻷ ﺳْﺤَﺎرِ (They are) those who are patient ones, those who are true (in Faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allah. Those who spend [give the Zakat and alms in the Way of Allah] and those who pray and beg Allah’s Pardon in the last hours of the night. [ 3:17] :said (ﺗﻌﺎﻟﻰ) Allah َ وَﺑِﺎﻷ ﺳْﺤَﺎرِ ﻫُﻢْ ﻳَﺴْﺘَﻐْﻔِﺮُونَ And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness.[51:18] These two verses establish the legislated act to ask Allah for forgiveness in the last hours of the night before dawn or the last 6th of the night.[1] Include in these verse is time of .Sahr( ﺳﺤﺮ) comes from) ﺳﺤﻮر) Suhur .The word Suhur Allah said: And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness.” This means that during those hours of night they ask Allah for his forgiveness. The salaf used to wake up at night regularly to offer prayer then afterwards they would seek Allah’s forgiveness and pardon.[2] Hasan Al-Basri said: The (Salaf) wouldn’t sleep much at night. In fact they were active in worship and sometimes this would extend to until the last 6th of the night; and then they would complete those acts of worship by making Istighfar.[3] .to be blessed [ﷺ]The Suhur has been mentioned by the Prophet said [ﷺ] He ﺗَﺴَﺤَّﺮُوا ﻓَﺈِنَّ ﻓِﻲ اﻟﺴَّﺤُﻮرِ ﺑَﺮَﻛَﺔً “Take Suhur as there is a blessing in it.”[4] Imam Qadi Al-Iyyad mentioned what blessings come from Suhur in his explanation of Sahih Al-Muslim.

  • At - Taqwā July - September 2014
    At - Taqwā July - September 2014 The Month of Ramadhãn By Mawlãnã Muhammad Ali Mankda Let us imagine the extent of the desire of the Prophet s to meet Allāh S and also the great insight the Prophet s had regarding the bounties of the Hereafter; He had already seen Jannah and was bestowed with the honour of seeing and communicating with Allāh S. Yet, despite this great longing and desire, upon the advent of Rajab the Prophet s would make the following duā desiring to remain in this world until Ramadhān: ِ ِ ِّ اللُّه َّم بَارْك لَنَا ف ْي َرَج َب َو َشْعبَا َن َو بَ لغْنَا َرَم َضا َن O Allāh, make the month of Rajab and Sha‟bān blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadhān. (At Tabrānī) From this we understand the extraordinary nature of Ramadhān, for it is so great that the Prophet s would supplicate for the prolongation of his worldly life so that he could take advantage of this great month and all its blessings. The great scholar and reformer Shaykh Ahmad Farūqi v (Mujaddid Alf Thāni) said, “If we combine all the blessings of the other eleven months, they would not add up to the blessings of Ramadhān.” Ahādith on the merits and virtues of this month are well known. For example, “The month of Ramadhān, the month of blessing has come to you, wherein Allāh turns towards you and sends down on you His special Mercy, forgives your faults, accepts prayers, observes your competition for doing good deeds and boasts to the angels about you.

  • Chapter 4 Assessment of the Tourism Sector
    The Study on the Integrated Tourism Development Plan in the Republic of Lebanon Final Report Vol. 4 Sector Review Report Chapter 4 Assessment of the Tourism Sector 4.1 Competitiveness This section uses the well-known Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats [SWOT] approach to evaluate the competitiveness of Lebanon for distinct types of tourism, and to provide a logical basis for key measures to be recommended to strengthen the sector. The three tables appearing in this section summarize the characteristics of nine segments of demand that Lebanon is attracting and together present a SWOT analysis for each to determine their strategic importance. The first table matches segments with their geographic origin. The second shows characteristics of the segments. Although the Diaspora is first included as a geographic origin, in the two later tables it is listed [as a column] alongside the segments in order to show a profile of its characteristics. The third table presents a SWOT analysis for each segment. 4.1.1 Strengths The strengths generally focus on certain strong and unique characteristics that Lebanon enjoys building its appeal for the nine segments. The country’s mixture of socio-cultural assets including its built heritage and living traditions constitutes a major strength for cultural tourism, and secondarily for MICE segment [which seeks interesting excursions], and for the nature-based markets [which combines nature and culture]. For the Diaspora, Lebanon is the unique homeland and is unrivaled in that role. The country’s moderate Mediterranean climate is a strong factor for the vacationing families coming from the hotter GCC countries.
