A Bíblia: uma Biblioteca de Livros para Todos - de Todas as Idades, Culturas e Gerações

Por que celebramos o Natal, o Dia de Reis, a Páscoa, a Ascensão, o Pentecostes? Por que razão a coroa de advento, prendas, estrelas, anjos, pastores são centrais no Natal? Por que comemos cabrito ou borrego na Páscoa? De onde nos vêm expressões como " daqui lavo as minhas mãos " ou " bode expiatório" ou "coisas do arco da velha"? Que está por detrás de tantas pinturas clássicas, de obras centrais da literatura mundial, de filmes como os Dez Mandamentos, o Príncipe do Egipto, The Climb? Que se entende por Verdade, Amor, Justiça, Gratidão, Compaixão, Arrependimento, Perdão...? Quem foi Eva, Adão, Abel, Caim, Sansão, David, Samuel, Rute, Débora, Daniel, Isaías ou Jeremias ?

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.

CHRISTmas-Natal- O NASCIMENTO-December, Dezembro 2014


The real day/date and year of the BIRTH of Christ is just a small detail that shouln't distract us from the EVENT itself and its important MEANING.
According to Matthew 1:23
"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" 
(which means "God with us").
O dia/ data e ano preciso do NASCIMENTO de Cristo é um pequeno detalhe que não nos deve distrair do ACONTECIMENTO em si e do seu importante SIGNIFICADO.
Lemos em Mateus 1:23
" Eis que a virgem conceberá e dará à luz um filho, e ele será chamado pelo nome de Emanuel." (Emanuel traduzido quer dizer Deus conosco). Trad. Ferreira de Almeida

                        In a far country, the younger son spends all his money on fun, friends, parties....
 With this reckless spending, he finally goes bankrupt. His friends abandon him.
Meanwhile a great famine spreads all over the country.
 The only job he finds available is feeding pigs. Starving and miserable, he repents and realizes he has now to make it right. He decides to go back to his father, to beg him for forgiveness and if possible to accept him as just one of his hired servants.
 Still a long way off, the father recognizes his younger lost son behind the young man’s rags. He runs to the repented son and gives him a big, compassionate hug.
 The father orders his servants to bring his son the best robe, a ring, a pair of shoes and to throw a reunion party.
It is party time. Music, plenty of food, fun and joy.
Meanwhile the older brother is back from work and does not understand his father’s forgiving reaction. 
He is jealous of the returning son.
read what happened next:Luke 15:11-32
Who does this ungrateful son represent? You and me.
Who does this Father represent? God accepting us back to His company when we come to Him truly repenting our wrongdoings.
