I-Exodus ebukhoboka
Imbali yokubhiyozela i-Easter ixhomekeke kwiindawo ezinzulu. Kwaye ukuze sikwazi ukuyiqonda kakuhle kwaye siyifunde, kuya kufuneka siphendule encwadini enkulu yeBhayibhile, eyona nto ibizwa ngokuthi "iEksodus." Kule ngxelo kuthethwa ukuba abantu abangamaYuda, ababeyizikhoboka zamaYiputa, bafumana iintlungu ezinkulu kunye neengcinezelo ezivela kubaphathi bazo. Kodwa, nangona kunjalo, bathemba inceba kaThixo kwaye bakhumbula umnqophiso kunye neLizwe Lesithembiso. Phakathi kwamaYuda kwakukho indoda enye egama linguMoses, lowo uThixo wamkhetha njengomprofeti. Emva kokunika u-Aaron umntakwabo ukuba ancede uMoses, iNkosi yasebenzisa imimangaliso ngabo kwaye yathumela amaYiputa ngokuhlukumeza okuhlukeneyo ngenombolo 10. UFaro umGibhithe wayengafuni ukukhulula amakhoboka akhe ngenkululeko. Emva koko uThixo wawayalela amaSirayeli ukuba abulale inkunzi nganye yanye inkunzi yemvana ibe yiminyaka eminci ubudala. Yaye ngegazi lakhe, uthambise iintambo zomnyango wekhaya lakhe. Imvana yayidinga ukuba idliwe ngobusuku ngaphandle kokuphulaphula amathambo akhe. Ebusuku isithunywa sikaThixo sawela ngeYiputa waza wabulala onke amazibulo aseYiputa aphuma kwimfuyo eya kumntu, kwaye akazange amthinte amaYuda. Ngokwesaba, uFaro waxosha amaSirayeli ephuma kweli lizwe. Kodwa xa beza kumanxweme oLwandle Olubomvu, waqonda waza wawasukela ngamakhoboka akhe. Nangona kunjalo, uThixo wavula amanzi olwandle waza wawakhokela amaYuda elwandle, njengelinye ilizwe, uFaro wawa. Ngozuko lwale mcimbi, ukususela ngoku kude kube ngoku, amaYuda agubha iPasika njengenkululeko ekuthinjweni kwaseYiputa.
Umnikelo kaKristu
Kodwa ibali lemvelaphi nokubonakala komthendeleko wePasika akuphela apha. Emva kweeminyaka emininzi emva kwesiganeko esichazwe ngasentla kwilizwe lakwa-Israyeli uYesu Kristu wazalwa ngumsindisi wehlabathi ebukhosini behenesi phezu kwemiphefumlo yabantu. Ngokutsho kobubungqina beVangeli, uKristu wazalwa yiNtombikazi kaMariya waza wahlala endlwini yomchweli uYosefu. Xa wayeneminyaka engama-30 ubudala, waphuma waya kushumayela, efundisa abantu imithetho kaThixo. Emva kweminyaka emithathu wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni, eNtabeni iKalvari. Kwathi emva kweeholide yama-Easter ngoLwesihlanu. Kwaye ngoLwesine kwakukho isidlo sakusihlwa, apho uKristu wamisela isakramente ye-Ekaristi, eseza isonka kunye newayini njengomzimba kunye negazi lakhe. Njengemvana kwiTestamente Elidala, uKristu waxhelelwa ngenxa yezono zehlabathi, kwaye amathambo akhe awaphulwanga.
Imbali yomthendeleko wePasika ukusuka kobuKristu bokuqala ukuya kwi-Middle Ages
Ngokutsho kwezingqinisiso zeBhayibhile enye, emva kokufa, uvuko nokunyuka kukaKristu ezulwini, imbali yokubhiyozela i-Easter ikhutshwe ngale ndlela: emva kwePentekoste iPasika yagubha uvuko ngalunye, iqokelela ukutya kunye nokubhiyozela i-Ekaristi.
