There is an English translation
Svaka religija ima svoje običaje i obrede, a od porodice zavisi koliko će se ti običaji
poštovati.
Vrlo je važno da imaš slobodu veroispovesti tj. da možeš
slobodno da izražavaš svoju veru, da ideš u svoje bogomolje, slaviš praznike.
Naravno, bitno je da poštujete i osobe drugih veroispovesti i nipošto da ih na
bilo koji način diskriminišete zbog toga.
Koja je definicija religije?
Definicija je raznolikost verskih uverenja i organizacija,
verovanje u jedno vrhovno biće koje zapoveda i obećava spasenje u zagrobnom
životu. Međutim, to nije slučaj kod mnogih svetskih religija.
Religija nije uvek jedan Bog, čak u dosta njih postoji više
božanstava. Religija je ritual ili ceremonja u kome učestvuje zajednica
vernika. Postoji i sujeverje u modernom vremenu.
Jedna od religija koje su meni zanimljive su totemizam i
animizam. Reč totem vodi poreklo od severnoameričkih indijskih plemena. Svaka
srodnička grupa ili klan ima svoj totem. Animizam je verovanje u duhove i dobre
i zle, smatra se da nastanjuju isti svet kao i ljudi..Takođe neke od poznatijih vera su: judaizam, hrišćanstvo,
islam, konfučijanizam, budizam...
Hrišćanstvo je religija čiji sam pripadnik i postoji mnogo
zanimljivih priča o istoriji hrišćanstva. Preuzeto je dosta učenja od judaizma.
Postoji to iščekivanje dolaska Mesije među Judejima. Mesija prevedeno sa grčkog
znači Hristos. U Rimskom carstvu su se
hrišćani progonili godinama. Isus se smatrao nekom vrstom pretnje vlasti jer je
sve više
ljudi verovalo njemu nego vlasti. Tek kasnije je car Konstantin
prihvatio hrišćanstvo kao zvaničnu religiju Rimskog carstva. Smatra se da je to
religija spasenja, ideje greha i izbavljenja od greha pomoću Božje milosti.
Hrišćanstvo se zasniva na Bibliji koja ima nekoliko delova. Takođe postoji
dosta običaja a i sujeverje kod onih malo starijih generacija. Kod pravoslavnih, ortodoksnih hrišćana, živopisno je
proslavlja je Hristovog rođenja, Božića kao i svih ostalih praznika koji su
vezani za Sina božjeg.
Pisaću vam o nekim običajima na Božić i Badnji dan u mojoj
kući. Na Badnji dan je običaj da se ujutru rano donese badnjak (drvo hrasta) u
kuću, donose ga najstariji i najmlađi muškarac. Uveče se badnjak unese u kuću a
za njim i slama. Na mestu sa kog se badnjak uzeo, stavlja se žito. Slama služi
za sakrivanje slatkiša ili manjih poklona koje deca traže kasnije. Običaj za
Božić je da se donesu badnjaci ispred crkve i zapale. Mesi se česnica
(beskvasni hleb) rano ujutru i u nju se stavljaja novčić, pasulj, kukuruz,
parče badnjaka... svaki predmet ima svoj simbol - zdravlje, rodna godina,
bogatstvo, blagostanje..

Religion
Each religion has its own customs, it depends on the family
how much these customs will be respected.
It is very important that you have freedom of religion, that is. to be able to freely express your faith, to go to your places of worship, to celebrate holidays. Of course, it is important that you respect people of other religions and never discriminate against them in any way because of that.
What is the definition of religion?
The definition is the diversity of religious beliefs and
organizations, the belief in one supreme being who commands and promises
salvation in the afterlife, but this is not the case with many world religions.
Religion is not always one God, even in many of them there
are several deities. Religion is a ritual or ceremony in which the community of
believers participates, and there is also superstition in modern times.
One of the religions that is interesting to me is totemism and animism. The word totem originates from North American Indian tribes. Each kinship group or clan has its own totem. Animism is the belief in spirits, both good and evil, it is believed that they inhabit the same world as humans ...
Also, some of the more famous religions are: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, Buddhism ...
Christianity is a religion of which I belong and there are many interesting stories about the history of Christianity. A lot of teachings have been taken from Judaism. There is this anticipation of the coming of the Messiah among the Jews. Messiah translated from Greek means Christ. In the Roman Empire, Christians were persecuted for years. Jesus was considered a kind of threat to the authorities because there were more and more people trusted him than the authorities. Only later did Emperor Constantine accept Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. It is considered to be the religion of salvation, the idea of sin and deliverance from sin by the grace of God. Christianity is based on the Bible, which has several parts. There are also a lot of customs and superstitions among the slightly older generations.
I will write to you about some customs on Christmas and Christmas Day in my house. On Christmas Day, it is customary to bring a Christmas tree (oak tree) into the house early in the morning, brought by the oldest and youngest man. In the evening, Christmas Eve is brought into the house, followed by straw. At the place where the Christmas tree was taken, grain is placed. Straw is used to hide sweets or small gifts that children look for later. It is customary for Christmas to bring Christmas trees in front of the church and light them. Garlic (unleavened bread) is kneaded early in the morning and a coin, beans, corn, a piece of Christmas tree are put in it ... each item has its own symbol - health, birth year, wealth, prosperity ..
