5 5 Liturgical symbols (3) INTRODUCTION In all religions there are elements that are always present, are understood by the faithful in various ways and received through the five senses. The communication link between the one who proclaims the religious message and the receiver can be direct or indirect. In the first case we encounter the signals (conventionally, an object means something practical: traffic lights, for example) and signs (the link between the object and its meaning is in the nature of the object: lion = strength). In the second case we find the symbols. An example: the wedding ring. The object participates in the symbolized truth and makes it effective (love and marital fidelity). The symbols are based on basic human relationships and bind two different realities, who are called to be united (sim-bolein = march together, in Greek). In Christian liturgy, symbols are widely used to communicate in all its fulness (using our reason and our intuition) the mystery of God s communication with humans: light, incense, water, oil, flowers, altar, the cross - are some of them. LIGHT The consideration of light as a symbol is a very important chapter in the field of religious anthropology, as it is present since ancient times, in different cultures and places. Since ancient times the binomial: ''light vs darkness'' is associated with ethical binomial: ''good vs evil''. Beneficent gods or entities are associated with the light, and evil to darkness.the light issue is also linked to the symbolism of ''fire'' and the sun, the fire, the flame. In Christian Jewish traditions and symbolism use is common. A highlight is the divine source of light in the biblical text, unlike other Eastern c osmogonies. Let s remember that the first act of God in creation refers to light: Let there be light (Gen 1: 2-3), separating it from the absolute darkness of the primordial chaos. In the Old Testament: The word is used in proper and figurative senses. In the proper sense: sun-light, day light, as a form of talking about the sense of vision: come to light, eyes with light, sons are called light to father s eyes (Tb 10:4). In the figurative sense, light represents concepts like happiness, wisdom, purification, God, life. Happiness: natural and spiritual (Jb29:24; Ps 4: 7). Salvation, Protection: the light of Jahweh protects and defends (2 Sam 22: 29). Eschatological salvation for Israel is seen as light. Wisdom: knowledge and teaching are considered as light (Baruch 4: 2; Ws 7:10). Life: contrasting with darkness of the land of the dead/sheol (Jb 3: 16), as synonymous of life (Jb 3: 20; Eccl 11:7). God, in himself is light (Ps 18: 28; 2 Sam 22: 29; Ws 7: 26). In the New Testament a) SynopticGospels: Light equals the beneficent influence of the disciples on people, just as the sun illuminates, warms and strengthens (Mt 6: 22-23, Luke 11: 34-36). b) John: there is a continuity with the Old Testament and God is described as light (1 Jn 1:5) and Christ is the

6 6 revelation of the divine light. Jesus affirms of himself to be the light of the world (Jn 8:12) and those who rejected him are in the darkness of the world. c) In Paul: he continues also in the O.T. tradition, because God inhabits in light (Ps 104:2; 1 Tim 6:16) and uses the antinomy enough light / darkness as synonymous with supernatural / natural, Christian / gentle, grace / sin, salvation / damnation. In Christian worship - because of the symbolic concepts represented by the light: faith, grace, wisdom, protection, purification, happiness, and that Jesus himself is identified with the light, the use of lights and fire in the ancient acts of worship for both practical reasons (better lighting and reading) and liturgical ones. In this regard it is noteworthy that at the origin of the Christmas festival (in the fourth century), was understood as the feast of Jesus, overcoming the forces of darkness because he is the Sun of Justice, shining over the world for all people. The date of Christmas was coincidental with the passing of the Winter solstice, in the Northern hemisphere (December 25). ordinations and funerals. During the Paschal Vigil a) New fire is kindled and blessed and from it the Easter Candle is ignited, representing the risen Christ in the midst of the community of Christian believers. This Candle and is lit in all the liturgical celebrations, during the Easter Season until the Festival of Pentecost, another important Christian and Jewish feast, linked to the symbols of light and fire (Acts 2:3). The light of the paschal candle, also shines in strong moments of the community: baptisms, confirmations, The use of lights (lamps, candles) on, or next to the altar was generalized around the XI century. In Anglicanism: to place candles on the altar was allowed by Archbishop Cranmer, in the First Book of Common Prayer of 1547; forbidden in the Second B.C.P. of 1549 and newly permitted, though as optional from the end of the XVII century, onwards. The use gained legal approval in England in Presently, its use is universally accepted (though with nuances) throughout the Christian churches, and is commonly seen as an element of great value because of its strong symbolism, which lies in the fact that it represents Jesus himself, as light of the world, illuminating the road of our lives, both at individual and community levels.

Note: During the coming months, Fr Enrique will be sharing the following subjects with us: oils, flowers, bread and wine, altar, ambry, cross/crucifix, vestments, ornaments, bells, temple.

12 12 Hogar Santa María, houses 30 people between mothers and children during 24 hours/day The quotas are regularly exceeded due to the high demand. The house offers amenities such as 5 large bedrooms, a lovely garden, a lounge for workshops, and is located in the neighborhood known as Curva de Maroñas. At the home, we have established networks which allow us to offer activities beyond the actual curriculum, such as skating, baby-football, dancing classes, drawing, etc. The team consists of 22 people, which includes educators, technicians, cleaning assistant, coordinator and workshop experts, who all undertake a splendid task with dedication and commitment, far beyond their obligations. What typifies this center is to treat people with dignity, allowing them to project themselves towards the future people who often have suffered violence of every nature. It is a well-founded team, which has allowed us to develop an operating strategy and cater to each person according to their own characteristics. Frequent activities such as those shared in the photos, take place: Parque Rodó & Teatro de Verano. Lovely photos!
