ADEVĂRUL DESPRE MOŞ CRĂCIUN

The truth about Santa Claus (PHOTO REPORT) –

 Η αλήθεια για τον Αϊ Βασίλη (φωτορεπορτάζ)

Romanian

Din păcate trebuie să spunem adevărul despre Moş Crăciun. Şi asta pentru că acest adevăr s-a uitat în decursul timpului, astăzi păstrându-se doar anumite forme – numai foarte puţini ştiind adevărul.

Nu vă face impresie că de Crăciun (aproape) toţi sunt mai buni, sunt doritori să facă daruri, sunt mai bucuroşi, mai iertători, mai plini de iubire? O iubire care înalţă, o iubire care înfrumuseţează. Poate cineva poate să spună că Moş Crăciun sunt părinţii însă dacă ar fi părinţii atunci aceştia s-ar purta la fel tot timpul anului, nu-i aşa?

Deci înseamnă că este vorba de o putere superioară, cu mult superioară tuturor părinţilor din lume putere care se manifestă în acest fel doar atunci. Este vorba de Dumnezeu.

Dumnezeul cel veşnic care s-a făcut copil a fost atât de bucuros de aceasta încât doreşte ca toţi oamenii din aceast[ lume, şi mai ales copiii, să fie bucuroşi cel puţin în ziua în care a devenit şi El copil. Şi nu îl deranjează că este reprezentat ca un moş gras cu barbă pentru că ne iubeşte cu o iubire totală într-o luciditate tăcută.

Şi pentru că toţi copiii din lume, mai tineri sau mai în vârstă, doresc să-L vadă pe Moş Crăciun, o să încerc mai jos să-L prezint în câteva fotografii. Desigur că pe Dumnezeu nimeni nu L-a văzut vreodată. Însă poate fi trăit. Şi una din cele mai apropiate imagini pe care o avem despre Dumnezeu, după cum spune Scriptura, este că Dumnezeu este lumină. Din cauza aceasta vă las în compania luminii dăruite de Dumnezeu care s-a făcut copil.

Δυστυχώς πρέπει να πούμε την αλήθεια για τον Άγιο Βασίλη καθώς είναι ξεχασμένη με την πάροδο του χρόνου και σήμερα πολύ λίγοι την ξέρουν.

Μήπως δεν σας εντυπωσιάζει το γεγονός ότι τα Χριστούγεννα (σχεδόν) όλοι οι άνθρωποι είναι καλύτεροι, είναι πρόθυμοι να κάνουν δώρα, είναι πιο ευτυχισμένοι, πιο επιεικής, πιο τρυφεροί; Δείχνουν μιαν αγάπη που εξυψώνει, μια αγάπη που ομορφαίνει το ανθρώπινο ον…

Κάποιος μπορεί να πει ότι ο Άγιος Βασίλης είναι σαν ένα γονέα και είμαστε όλοι χαρούμενοι που τον βλέπουμε να έρχεται. Αλλά αν ήταν έτσι, θα ήταν γονέας όλο το χρόνο, σωστά;

Προφανώς, αυτό σημαίνει ότι υπάρχει μια ανώτερη δύναμη, πολύ ανώτερη από όλους τους γονείς του κόσμου, που εκδηλώνεται με αυτόν τον τρόπο τότε ακριβώς. Και αυτό είναι ο Θεός.

Ο αιώνιος Θεός που έγινε παιδί, είναι πολύ χαρούμενος γι ‘αυτό επιθυμεί για όλους τους ανθρώπους σε αυτόν τον κόσμο – ειδικά για τα παιδιά – να είναι ευτυχισμένα, τουλάχιστον την ημέρα κατά την οποία γίνεται και Εκείνος παιδί. Και δεν είναι περίεργο ότι Εκείνος εμφανίζεται ως παχύς γενειοφόρος γέρος, γιατί μας αγαπά με ολοκληρωτική αγάπη, με μια σιωπηλή διαύγεια.

Και επειδή όλα τα παιδιά του κόσμου, νέα ή ηλικιωμένα, θέλουν να δουν τον Άϊ Βασίλη, θα προσπαθήσω παρακάτω να σας δείξω μερικές φωτογραφίες. Φυσικά, κανείς δεν έχει δει ποτέ τον Θεό, αλλά Εκείνος μπορεί να βιωθεί. Και μια από τις πλησιέστερες εικόνες που έχουμε για τον Θεό, όπως λέει η Γραφή, είναι ο Θεός ως φως. Και τώρα σας αφήνουμε στην συντροφιά του φωτός που έδωσε ο Θεός που έγινε παιδί.

Unfortunately we must say the truth about Santa Claus because it is forgotten over time and today only very few know it.

Does it not impress you that at Christmas (almost) all people are better, are willing to make gifts, are happier, more forgiving, more loving? A love which exalts, a love which beautify the human being.

One can say that Santa Claus is like a parent and we are all happy to see him coming. But if  it was so, he would be a parent throughout the whole year, correct?

So, this means that there is a higher power , far superior than all parents in the world, which is manifested in this way just then. And that is God.

The eternal God who became a child , is so happy about this that wishes for all people from this world – especially for children – to be happy at least on the day on which He became a child. And it isn’t strange that He appears as a fat bearded old man because He loves us with a total love , in a silent lucidity.

And because all children in the world, young or old, want to see Santa, I will try bellow to show you some photos. Of course, no one has ever seen God but He can be lived. And one of the closest images we have of God, as Scripture says, is God as light. And now I leave you in the company of the light given by the God who became a child.
