Is \u00ed an chros an comhartha is t\u00e1bhachta\u00ed sa Chr\u00edosta\u00edocht<\/a>. Tagra\u00edonn s\u00ed do bh\u00e1s \u00cdosa Cr\u00edost ar an gcros agus do chreideamh na Cr\u00edosta\u00edochta gur s\u00e1ra\u00edodh an b\u00e1s sin. \u00d3n bhunbhr\u00ed seo tagann br\u00ed ioml\u00e1n na croise, lena n-\u00e1ir\u00edtear a r\u00f3l mar chomhartha cosanta.<\/p>

Mar chomhartha cosanta, feictear an chros i bhfoirmeacha go leor. Caitear \u00ed mar oidhre ar an gcorp, d\u00e9antar \u00ed mar ghotha, cuirtear os cionn doirse agus ar bhalla\u00ed \u00ed, agus \u00fas\u00e1idtear \u00ed in iliomad gn\u00edomhartha beannaithe. Sna foirmeacha seo go l\u00e9ir, is comhartha \u00ed den iomp\u00fa i dtreo Chr\u00edost agus den mhuin\u00edn ina thaca\u00edocht.<\/p>

\u00d3 thaobh na staid\u00e9ir chreidimh, is sampla \u00ed an chros de chomhartha a dtagann a br\u00ed cosanta \u00f3 chro\u00ed-\u00e1bhar creidimh. De r\u00e9ir na tuisceana Cr\u00edosta\u00ed, n\u00ed chosna\u00edonn s\u00ed mar r\u00e9ad ach amh\u00e1in de bharr go dtagra\u00edonn s\u00ed do imeacht sl\u00e1naithe. D\u00e1 bhr\u00ed sin, t\u00e1 s\u00ed i measc na gcomhartha\u00ed cosanta a bhfuil nasc dl\u00fath acu le teagasc.<\/p>

T\u00e1 an chros ina comhartha a nascann agus a idirdheala\u00edonn na sainchreid\u00ed Cr\u00edosta\u00ed ag an am c\u00e9anna. Aithn\u00edonn agus adhrann na eaglais\u00ed m\u00f3ra go l\u00e9ir \u00ed, ach cuireann siad b\u00e9im uirthi ar bheala\u00ed difri\u00fala.<\/p>

Is minic a l\u00e9ir\u00edonn an traidisi\u00fan Caitliceach agus Orthodox an C\u00e9asadh f\u00e9in, agus is fearr le eaglais\u00ed a d’eascair \u00f3n Reifirm\u00e9isean an chros fholamh de ghn\u00e1th.

Sa ghn\u00e1th-\u00fas\u00e1id teanga, is minic a \u00fas\u00e1idtear na t\u00e9arma\u00ed cros agus cros ch\u00e9asta mar an gc\u00e9anna, ach tagra\u00edonn siad do ruda\u00ed difri\u00fala. Is \u00ed an chros an fhoirm ghlan at\u00e1 comhdh\u00e9anta de dh\u00e1 mhaide a thrasna\u00edonn a ch\u00e9ile. Fanann s\u00ed folamh agus cuireann s\u00ed b\u00e9im ar an gcomhartha f\u00e9in.<\/p>

L\u00e9ir\u00edonn cros ch\u00e9asta, ar an taobh eile, corp Chr\u00edost ar an gcros, an corp a dtugtar an Corpas air. L\u00e9ir\u00edonn s\u00ed imeacht na c\u00e9asta go picti\u00fartha agus cuireann s\u00ed fulaingt agus b\u00e1s \u00cdosa i l\u00e1r an aird. Is \u00edomh\u00e1 deabh\u00f3ide \u00ed an chros ch\u00e9asta d\u00e1 bhr\u00ed sin, agus is comhartha \u00ed an chros fholamh.<\/p>

Cuireann an d\u00e1 fhoirm b\u00e9im ar ghn\u00e9ithe difri\u00fala. Is minic a nasctar an chros fholamh leis an ais\u00e9ir\u00ed agus leis an bhua ar an bh\u00e1s, \u00f3s rud \u00e9 gur fh\u00e1g an duine c\u00e9asta an chros. D\u00edr\u00edtheann an chros ch\u00e9asta ar an \u00edobairt<\/span> agus ar an chomhbhr\u00f3n. Baintear \u00fas\u00e1id coitianta as an d\u00e1 fhoirm maidir leis an mbr\u00ed chosanta.<\/p>

T\u00e1 foirmeacha croise faoi leith ag na Eaglais\u00ed Thoir, mar shampla an chros le dh\u00e1 mhaide trasn\u00e1nach breise, agus t\u00e1 an ceann is \u00edsle d\u00edobh fiar. Is fearr le eaglais\u00ed a d’eascair \u00f3n Reifirm\u00e9isean an chros fholamh, \u00f3s rud \u00e9 go dteasta\u00edonn uathu b\u00e9im a leagan ar Chr\u00edost ais\u00e9irithe, nach bhfuil ar an gcros a thuilleadh.<\/p>

N\u00edl an difr\u00edocht idir an chros agus an chros ch\u00e9asta ina cheist l\u00e9irithe amh\u00e1in, ach is l\u00e9iri\u00fa \u00ed freisin ar bh\u00e9im theola\u00edoch dhifri\u00fail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Sna c\u00e9adta bliain tosaigh, d’\u00fas\u00e1id na Cr\u00edostaithe an chros go c\u00faramach. In aimsir gh\u00e9arlean\u00fana, bh\u00ed guaise i gceist le comhartha a chaitheamh go poibl\u00ed. Ina \u00e1it sin, feictear foirmeacha luatha, criptithe, mar shampla an Monagram Chr\u00edost a dh\u00e9antar \u00f3 litreacha tosaigh Ghr\u00e9agacha ainm Chr\u00edost, n\u00f3 an litir Staurogram mar a thugtar air.<\/p>

Le athr\u00fa faoi r\u00ed-impire Constant\u00edn san 4\u00fa haois, athra\u00edodh seo go bun\u00fasach. Bh\u00ed an Chr\u00edosta\u00edocht ceadaithe agus ina dhiaidh sin ina reiligi\u00fan st\u00e1it, agus d’fh\u00e9adfa\u00ed an chros a thaispe\u00e1int go poibl\u00ed. D’iompaigh an comhartha aitheantais r\u00fanda ag mionlach g\u00e9arlean\u00fana ina siombail<\/span> le feice\u00e1il de reiligi\u00fan m\u00f3r.<\/p>

\u00d3n phointe sin ar aghaidh, leathnaigh an chros go gach gn\u00e9 den saol. Bh\u00ed s\u00ed le feice\u00e1il ar eaglais\u00ed, ar bhoinn, ar dh\u00e9ant\u00fas\u00e1in agus ar \u00e9ada\u00ed.

N\u00ed \u00e1bhar amh\u00e1in at\u00e1 sa chros ach comhartha coirp freisin. Agus \u00e9 ag d\u00e9anamh comhartha na croise, arda\u00edonn an duine d\u00edlis a l\u00e1mh chuig a chl\u00e1r \u00e9adain, a bhrollach agus a ghuaill\u00ed, agus tarraing\u00edonn s\u00e9 an chros ar a chorp f\u00e9in. Baineann an ghn\u00edomh seo leis na foirmeacha is sine agus is coitianta de chr\u00e1ifeacht<\/span> Chr\u00edosta\u00ed.<\/p>

B\u00edonn comhartha na croise mar chuideachta ag an phaidir<\/span>, ag an tseirbh\u00eds eaglaise agus ag m\u00f3r\u00e1n n\u00f3im\u00e9ad an lae. D\u00e9antar \u00e9 ag \u00e9ir\u00ed agus ag dul a chodladh, roimh thuras, in am guaise agus le linn beannachta\u00ed. I ngach c\u00e1s den s\u00f3rt sin, cuireann an duine \u00e9 f\u00e9in faoi chomhartha na croise.<\/p>

Sa ghn\u00edomh seo go sonrach a l\u00e9ir\u00edtear br\u00ed chosanta na croise ar an bhealach is soil\u00e9ire. Gn\u00edomh gairid \u00e9 an comhartha croise, ar f\u00e9idir \u00e9 a dh\u00e9anamh am ar bith, tr\u00edna gcuireann duine \u00e9 f\u00e9in agus daoine eile faoi chosaint Chr\u00edost. Nascann s\u00e9 an comhartha cosanta go d\u00edreach leis an gcorp agus leis an n\u00f3im\u00e9ad f\u00e9in.<\/p>

Sean-sean at\u00e1 comhartha na croise. Luann an scr\u00edbhneoir eaglasta Tertullian timpeall na bliana 200 go dt\u00ed go mb\u00edodh na Cr\u00edostaithe ag d\u00e9anamh comhartha na croise ar mh\u00f3r\u00e1n \u00f3c\u00e1id\u00ed den saol laeth\u00fail.

\u00d3 th\u00fas ama, cuireadh \u00e9ifeacht chosanta i leith na croise. Cuireadh \u00ed os cionn doirse agus ar bhalla\u00ed, sheasadh \u00ed cois b\u00f3ithre agus crochadh \u00ed ag an chliabh\u00e1n. I ngach c\u00e1s den s\u00f3rt sin, mharc\u00e1il s\u00ed \u00e1it n\u00f3 duine mar bhuailte faoi chosaint Chr\u00edost.<\/p>

I gcreideamh na ndaoine, meastar go raibh an chros ina me\u00e1n in aghaidh cumhachta\u00ed dochracha\u00ed. Bh\u00edothas ag s\u00fail go gcosn\u00f3idh s\u00ed an teach, an eallach agus na p\u00e1irceanna, agus go gcuirfeadh s\u00ed spioraid olca ar shi\u00fal. Bhain na tuairim\u00ed seo le chr\u00e1ifeacht<\/span> leathan na ndaoine, ina raibh an chros fite fuaite le saol laeth\u00fail agus le c\u00faram na feirme agus na clainne.<\/p>

Ghabh teagasc na heaglaise leis an gcleachtas seo, ach thug s\u00e9 rabhadh freisin gan an chros a mh\u00edthuiscint mar mhe\u00e1n dra\u00edochta.

Nascann foirmeacha r\u00e9igi\u00fanacha ar n\u00f3s na croise f\u00e1inneach Ceiltigh an chros le comhartha\u00ed eile.<\/p>

L\u00e9ir\u00edonn an \u00e9ags\u00falacht seo nach comhartha righin \u00ed an chros. Bh\u00ed ar a cumas \u00ed a chur in oiri\u00faint do thraidisi\u00fain \u00e9ags\u00fala, agus le linn sin, ghlac s\u00ed le br\u00edonna breise. Maidir leis an fheidhm chosanta, t\u00e1 an chuid is m\u00f3 de na foirmeacha seo coitianta, \u00f3ir is \u00e9 an tagairt do Chr\u00edost an rud is t\u00e1bhachta\u00ed.<\/p>

Taobh amuigh den \u00fas\u00e1id reiligi\u00fanach, feictear an chros i m\u00f3r\u00e1n comhth\u00e9acsanna eile, mar shampla sa araltas, i gcomhartha\u00ed ord spiorad\u00e1lta agus i ndearadh gradaim\u00ed. T\u00e1 stair f\u00e9in ag baint le gach foirm \u00e9ags\u00fail d\u00edobh seo.<\/p>

Maidir leis an bhr\u00ed chosanta, is \u00e9 an rud at\u00e1\u00e1 th\u00e1bhachta\u00ed go dt\u00e9ann gach leagan siar chuig an bhuncheart c\u00e9anna, agus mar sin go n-iompra\u00edonn siad go l\u00e9ir an tagairt ch\u00e9anna do Chr\u00edost, is cuma c\u00e9 chomh \u00e9ags\u00fail is at\u00e1 gach ceann d\u00edobh maisithe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

T\u00e1 bun\u00fas an l\u00e9irmh\u00ednithe Chr\u00edosta\u00ed ar an gcros mar chomhartha cosanta i smaoineamh diagacht\u00fail. Is \u00e9 an chros an \u00e1it ar bh\u00e1saigh \u00cdosa, ach de r\u00e9ir an chreidimh Chr\u00edosta\u00ed n\u00ed h\u00e9 an b\u00e1s sin an focal deiridh. Athl\u00e9ir\u00edonn an Ais\u00e9ir\u00ed an chros, \u00f3 chomhartha na buartha go comhartha an bhua ar an mb\u00e1s.<\/p>

\u00d3n athl\u00e9iri\u00fa seo a thagann br\u00ed na cosanta. An duine a sheasann faoin gcros, seasann s\u00e9 faoi chomhartha an t\u00e9 a sh\u00edltear a chlo\u00edgh leis an mb\u00e1s de r\u00e9ir an chreidimh Chr\u00edosta\u00ed. N\u00edl an chosaint a bh\u00edtear ag s\u00fail l\u00e9i, mar sin, ina \u00e9ifeacht dhra\u00edocht\u00fail, ach ina l\u00e9iri\u00fa creidimh sa mhaol\u00fa sin.<\/p>

Mar sin, thuig an eaglais an chros mar chomhartha creidimh riamh, n\u00ed mar aimil\u00e9ad<\/span>. N\u00ed oibr\u00edonn cros ann f\u00e9in de r\u00e9ir theagasc na heaglaise. T\u00e1 s\u00ed \u00e9ifeachtach mar chomhartha a threora\u00edonn an duine i dtreo Chr\u00edost agus a chuireann eagar ar a mhuin\u00edn. Idirdheala\u00edonn an tuiscint seo an chros \u00f3n r\u00e9ad cosanta dra\u00edocht\u00fail.<\/p>

Ba mhaith le Tuismitheoir\u00ed na hEaglaise sa tr\u00e9imhse luath an chros a l\u00e9irmh\u00edni\u00fa mar Tropaion, mar chomhartha bua, mar a chuireadh airm bhuacacha suas tar \u00e9is cath a bhuachan. San l\u00e9irmh\u00edni\u00fa seo, is comhartha bua bainte \u00e9 an chros, n\u00ed comhartha buartha.<\/p>

Ag an am c\u00e9anna, thug an teagasc eaglaise rabhadh riamh gan an chros a l\u00e1imhse\u00e1il mar r\u00e9ad a oibr\u00edonn go meicni\u00fail. T\u00e1 a cosaint ceangailte leis an gcreideamh agus n\u00ed f\u00e9idir \u00ed a scaradh uaidh.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Sa gcreideamh d\u00fachasach, t\u00e1 r\u00f3l saibhir ag an gcros seachas an teagasc eaglaise. Thug sc\u00e9alta agus n\u00f3sanna an chumhacht di spioraid olca, cailleacha agus cumhachta\u00ed dochracha a ruaigeadh. I gcuid mh\u00f3r sc\u00e9alta agus sa chult\u00far coitianta, feictear an chros mar mhe\u00e1n in aghaidh an oilc.<\/p>

Is g\u00e1 idirdheal\u00fa a dh\u00e9anamh idir an sraith dh\u00fachasach seo agus an teagasc eaglaise f\u00e9in, c\u00e9 gur mhair siad go dl\u00fath le ch\u00e9ile. L\u00e9ir\u00edonn s\u00ed c\u00e9 chomh doimhin agus a bh\u00ed an chros fr\u00e9amhaithe i smaointeoireacht laeth\u00fail na ndaoine, agus c\u00e9 chomh d\u00fachasach agus a mheasta\u00ed \u00ed mar chomhartha cosanta, i bhfad taobh amuigh de bhalla\u00ed na heaglaise.<\/p>

F\u00f3s inniu, t\u00e1 an chros mar sh\u00edog\u00e1n ar cheann de na piosa\u00ed seodra is coitianta ar fad. Do go leor caiteoir\u00ed is l\u00e9iri\u00fa creidimh \u00e9, do dhaoine eile is comhartha cult\u00fartha n\u00f3 cuimhneach\u00e1n \u00e9. I ngach c\u00e1s, ceangla\u00edonn s\u00e9 le stair fh\u00edorfhada ina raibh br\u00ed ag an gcros sa gcosaint, sa gcreideamh agus sa d\u00f3chas ag an am c\u00e9anna.<\/p>

Sa gcreideamh d\u00fachasach agus sa traidisi\u00fan sc\u00e9ala\u00edochta, feictear an chros go minic mar mhe\u00e1n in aghaidh cailleach, taibhs\u00ed agus cumhachta\u00ed dochracha eile. T\u00e1 smaointe den s\u00f3rt sin f\u00f3s beoga sa gcult\u00far siamsa\u00edochta nua-aimseartha, mar shampla i sc\u00e9alta faoi vaimp\u00edr\u00ed.<\/p>
