TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
"Octave" comes from the Latin word for
"eight," and since eight is one step beyond
seven, the number of days in a week, it has
long been seen as a symbol of perfection,
completion, and new beginnings. Early
Christians called Sunday the "eighth day,"
since it was the day after the Sabbath and a
day of resurrected life, the Lord's Day. By the
seventh century, people regarded the eight
days after Easter Sunday as one great day, an
octave, one glorious feast when people were
forbidden to fast or kneel. In the seventh
century, Pentecost acquired an Octave, too.
Christmas didn't claim the honor of a
continuous feast, but it did get an Octave
Day. January 1 is the oldest Marian feast, the
Octave of Christmas. It was originally a feast
of the motherhood of Mary, although for
centuries until 1969 it was called the Feast of
the Circumcision. Our reformed calendar
follows the earlier tradition of celebrating
Mary
as
Mother
of
God.

TRADICIONES
DE
NUESTRA
FE
En Nicaragua y otras naciones latinoamericanas se celebra el final de un año con la
"quema del año viejo". Construyen grandes muñecos con ropa vieja, pólvora y
papel que se encienden a medianoche entre los dos años. Celebrar el comienzo de
un año nuevo tiene una larga trayectoria en la historia humana. Hace unos 4000
años el pueblo de Babilonia ya festejaba la llegada de un nuevo año con grandes
fiestas de primavera. Los judíos, al igual que otros pueblos agrícolas, también
celebraban su año nuevo durante la primavera, el primer día de Nisán (a principios
de
abril).
Fue Julio César quien nos dio la fecha del primero de enero como el inicio de
nuestro calendario. En 1582 el Papa Gregorio XIII reformó el calendario para
darnos el que actualmente está en uso. No obstante, los cristianos continuaron
celebrando el año nuevo en primavera para evitar los excesos del "hombre viejo".
Hace 400 años la Iglesia comenzó a celebrar el día primero de enero buscando
cristianizarlo lo mejor posible. Por eso en el calendario litúrgico este día es
dedicado
a
María,
Madre
de
Dios.
