Palm Sunday-Domingo de Ramos- Key concepts expressed in Decorations

Today is Palm Sunday. Hoje é Domingo de Ramos.

Christ, the awaited Messiah enters in Jerusalem and is hailed as Son of David, therefore descendant of King David. Yeshua is saluted by the crowd with palm tree branches. That's why some branches with moments of Christ's Life is a preferred and colourful decoration. dry branches and red clouds representing His Bloody Death- the Holocaust of the PERFECT LAMB OF GOD provided by God to be judged in the place of men. The white letters of the red clouds meaningfully symbolise His pure nature, and the Death of the innocent to save the non-innocent men who are attracted to His loving Redemption. The dead branches live, "come to life" to tell the whole account of Christ's Life, Death, Resurrection, Ascension, Future Return and Judge of all living and dead.

PENTECOSTES Atos 2 - PENTECOST Acts 2

50 dias depois da Ressurreição de Jesus Cristo,
10 dias depois da Sua Ascensão ao mais elevado céu, para retomar a Sua posição de Glória e tornar-se Intercessor em favor dos homens,
o Espírito Santo "aterra" no meio daqueles que, sem cessar, buscavam a direção e presença de Deus:
um vento impetuoso encheu o lugar, línguas de fogo espalharam-se por toda a divisão e
começaram a LOUVAR A DEUS em línguas desconhecidas deles mesmos.
Os restantes Judeus que tinham vindo de vários países celebrar o Pentecostes em Jerusalém,
reconheceram que eles estavam a falar das grandezas de Deus em egípcio e nas outras diferentes línguas estrangeiras.
Muitos reconheceram que Jesus era Deus e Salvador e tornaram-se Seus discípulos.
Foi assim que começou a Igreja Cristã.

50 days after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
10 days after His Ascension to the highest heaven, where He took back His place of Glory and became Intercessor/Mediator in favor of men,
a strong, impetuous wind came into the place where Jesus' disciples continuously searched for the will and presence of God, like tongues of fire were seen by everyone spreading all over the place. They all began to praise Jesus in foreign languages that were unknown to them, but that the Jews from other countries that were assembled in Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost readily recognised as the ones of the country they now were living in.
Many recognised the presence of God and accepted the divinity and salvation of Christ.
This was the beginning of Christianity.

The Bible, the Book for everyone of every generation

The British Prime Minister and the King James Bible version's 400th Anniversary - 400º aniversário da Bíblia KIng James

A few sentences of the British Prime Minister speech on 16th December 2011speech are summarised here:
" The King James Bible is as relevant today as at any point in its 400 year history.
And none of us should be frightened of recognising this.
…a book that is not just important in understanding our past, but which will continue to have a profound impact in shaping our collective future.
....the Bible has helped to give Britain a set of values and morals which make Britain what it is today.
Values and morals we should actively stand up and defend.
The alternative of moral neutrality should not be an option.
You can’t fight something with nothing.
Because if we don’t stand for something, we can’t stand against anything. "

A few excerpts from a BBC newspaper article:
' ....the prime minister called for a revival of traditional Christian values to counter Britain's "moral collapse".
He said "live and let live" had too often become "do what you please".
....he staunchly defended the role of religion in politics and said the Bible in particular was crucial to British values.
Mr Cameron also said it was "easier for people to believe and practise other faiths when Britain has confidence in its Christian identity".
....the tolerance that Christianity demands of our society provides greater space for other religious faiths too.
....many of the values of a Christian country are shared by people of all faiths and indeed by people of no faith at all."'
