Umat diseru bina ‘Nativity scene’ dirumah menjelang Krismas

The Nativity scene at home

By John Ezekiel Hirro

Oct 24 2023

MANILA – Tempat Suci Keuskupan Agung dan Paroki Santo Niño di daerah Tondo di Manila telah menyeru keluarga untuk mengembalikan tradisi Filipina untuk membina peristiwa Kelahiran Yesus, dikenali sebagai ‘Belen’, di rumah mereka pada musim Adven yang akan datang ini.

Rektornya, Msgr Geronimo Reyes, menyifatkan ‘Belen’ sebagai ‘tradisi yang indah’ dan peringatan bahawa ‘Tuhan bersama kita.’

“Dan kita membuka hati kita kepada Dia yang sentiasa tinggal di dalam diri kita,” kata Msgr Reyes dalam surat pekeliling yang dikeluarkan pada Okt 4.

Tahun ini menandakan ulang tahun ke-800 pembinaan pertama gambaran Nativity, yang dibuat oleh St Francis dari Assisi, di gua Greccio pada Dis 24, 1223.

Msgr Reyes mencadangkan agar keluarga boleh mula membina Belen menjelang Minggu Adven Ketiga, juga dikenali sebagai Ahad Gaudete.

“Saya menggalakkan semua keluarga dan komuniti setempat untuk memasang tempat kelahiran (Belen) di rumah kita, dan memasang serta menggantung tanglung atau perhiasan,” katanya.

Msgr Reyes kemudiannya menekankan kepentingan “Via Gaudosa” (Cara Kegembiraan) tradisional dan panduan doa “Daan ng Tuwa”, yang direka untuk meningkatkan perayaan Krismas bersama sambil merenungkan misteri keselamatan Kristus.

Paroki di keuskupan agung akan mengedarkan buku kecil doa untuk Pemberkatan Palungan Krismas dan Penghormatan Bayi Yesus di rumah, yang diperoleh daripada Komisi Liturgi Keuskupan Agung Manila.

Pada tahun 2019, Bapa Suci Francis mengeluarkan surat apostolik “Admirabile Signum,” di mana beliau menjelaskan kepentingan dan makna adegan Kelahiran Yesus.

Dia menggalakkan tradisi keluarga membina gambaran Kelahiran Yesus pada hari-hari sebelum Krismas, bukan sahaja di rumah tetapi juga di tempat kerja, sekolah, hospital, penjara, dan dataran bandar.

“Palungan Krismas adalah sebahagian daripada proses yang mencabar dan berharga namun ia menuntut kita untuk teguh dalam meneruskan iman,” tambah Paus.

“Bermula pada zaman kanak-kanak, dan pada setiap peringkat kehidupan kita, ia mengajar kita untuk merenungkan Yesus, untuk mengalami kasih Tuhan kepada kita, untuk merasakan dan percaya bahawa Tuhan bersama kita dan bahawa kita bersama-Nya, anak-anak, saudara dan saudarinya semua, bersyukur kepada Anak itu yang merupakan Anak Tuhan dan Anak Perawan Maria,” katanya juga. – CBCP News
