Bulan Ogos saksikan Hujan Meteor, nama diambil dari seorang santo

Aug 15 2020

KETIKA menatap bintang di langit, sebahagian besar umat Katolik mungkin tidak memikirkan perihal orang kudus, apa lagi memikirkan St Laurensius, martir Kristian awal yang dimasak sampai mati oleh orang Romawi dengan cara memanggang. Namun setiap bulan Ogos, umat Katolik berpeluang melihat hujan meteor yang sebutannya diambil dari nama sang santo untuk menghormatinya.

Hujan meteor Perseids, juga disebut “air mata St Laurensius” adalah hujan meteor yang berkaitan dengan komet Swift-Tuttle. Komet ini menjatuhkan habuk dan serpihan-serpihan di orbit Bumi dalam perjalanan 133 tahun mengelilingi matahari. (Komet tidak menimbulkan ancaman langsung bagi Bumi, paling tidak beberapa ribu tahun.)

Ketika bumi mengorbit matahari, ia menghancurkan serpihan-serpihan yang ditinggalkan oleh komet, menyebabkannya terbakar di atmosfera bumi. Keadaan ini menyebabkan hujan meteor yang subur dan kelihatan di hemisfera utara dari akhir bulan Julai hingga bulan Ogos. Biasanya fenomena itu memuncak sekitar  pertengahan bulan Ogos serentak dengan Pesta St Laurensius.

Selama puncaknya, kecepatan meteor mencapai 60 atau lebih dalam satu jam. Nama “Perseids” berasal dari konstelasi Perseus, “the constellation Perseus” dinamai untuk watak dalam mitologi Yunani, dan pancaran atau titik dari mana ia berasal. Sedangkan,  nama “air mata St Laurensius” berasal dari persatuan hari pestanya dan dari legenda yang berkembang setelah kematiannya.

St Laurensius, martir

Santo Laurensius menjadi martir pada 10 Ogos 258 ketika penganiayaan di zaman Kaisar Valerian bersama dengan banyak anggota kuil Romawi. Dia adalah yang terakhir dari tujuh diakon Roma yang meninggal.

Setelah Paus Sixtus II menjadi martir pada 6 Ogos, Laurensius  kemudian memegang kebenaran utama Gereja Roma dengan menjadi bendahara Gereja. Ketika dia dipanggil ke hadapan para algojo, Laurensius diperintahkan untuk membawa semua kekayaan Gereja bersamanya. Dia muncul bersama segelintir orang yang lumpuh, miskin, dan sakit, dan apabila ditanya, beliau menjawab bahawa “Inilah kekayaan Gereja yang sebenarnya.”

Segera dia dihantar untuk memenuhi tujuannya dengan dimasak hidup-hidup di ladang hijau. Legenda mengatakan bahawa antara kata-kata terakhirnya adalah jenaka tentang kaedah pelaksanaannya, sambil dia menyindir pembunuhnya: “Kembalikan saya, saya sudah matang di sisi ini!”

Umat ​​Katolik mulai menyebut meteor itu sebagai “air mata St Laurensius”, walaupun fenomena langit itu sudah ada sebelum sang santo. Beberapa ahli akademik Italia juga berpendapat bahawa serpihan puing berapi yang dilihat ketika hujan meteor mewakili batu bara yang membunuh St Laurensius. – Hidup Katolik
