THE ANCIENT ORIGINS of MARATHON RUNNING .
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
The prophet in western languages. The word Christ, which is used
for Christ for Mesîh, comes from the Greek Christos (oiled). In the ancient
Israel religion, kings or kohen's appointed by God were blessed with their
heads anointed with oil and called Mashiach (oiled). Later, this word was used
for the king of the city, who was expected to be descended from King Dawud (see
MESÎH). In the Greco-Roman pagan culture, god statues oiled as an expression of
blessing and fertility were called Christos (blessed with oil). While the name
Christos, which is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Mashiah, was
initially used for Jesus with the claim that it was the expected savior mystic
of the Jews, the figure of Jesus, which this word expresses, was transformed
into "the god of fertility blessed with oil".
(Furkan /İlkay ÖNEN DÜZGÜN/Celal Bayar Anatolian High School)
The mass, which forms
the second part of christ-mass, comes from the Latin equivalent of mizdin,
which derives from the Persian word Mazda. Mazda means "god" and mizd
means "dinner in the name of god". Persian origin Mithraism was one
of the religions that became common in a Roman pagan culture. In this religion,
it was believed that the sun god Mithra descended to the earth and wandered the
world with twelve apostles corresponding to the twelve symbols of the Zodiac
star cluster, eventually sacrificing himself for the sins of humanity. The
well-known festival of the Mithraists included the practice of killing a bull
and dedication to the god, drinking its blood, and eating its flesh. The
similarity between the Christian Sunday ritual and this festival of the
Mithraists is striking. Christ's naming Christmas, which refers to the birthday
celebration of the Messiah, has emerged as the etymologically Christianized
form of the terms used for the pagan rites.
Celebrated by Western Christianity on December 25,
Christmas's origin as a date and celebration is also attributed to the birthday
celebration (Natalis Solis invicti) of the sun god Mithra, adopted by ancient
Rome. This celebration became official when the Roman Emperor Aurelian declared
the sun god the protector of the empire in 274. Hz. Although the date of
January 6 was adopted by the Eastern Church for the celebration of Christ's
birth and baptism since the birthday of Jesus was not known exactly, the date
of December 25 was later put forward regarding St. Hippolytus (d. 236).
This date, IV. At the beginning of the century, the official birthday of Jesus
(nativities Domini) was declared after the Byzantine Emperor Constantine entered
Christianity. Some church fathers, such as John Chrystostom (d.407), later
prove, based on indirect references in the Bibles (Luke, 15-38), that John the
Baptist was born on June 24, and Jesus on December 25, six months later. they
worked. This date was transformed into a celebration of Christ's birthday by
Pope Liberius in 354 and passed to the East from here.
According to Christian theologians, the reason why pagan
festivals, which were not included in early Christianity, especially Christmas,
and were criticized by the later clergy due to the pagan entertainment
elements were transformed into Christian celebrations in that period to
protect Christianity against the Mithra belief of Indo-Iranian origin in Rome.
However, while many Eastern churches adopted the date of January 6 as Christ's
birthday, the Western churches continued today as Christ's baptism day
(Epiphany). Therefore, today Christmas is celebrated by Western Christians on
December 25 and combined with New Year's fun on January 1, based on the Julian
calendar. This period was celebrated for a week as a combination of the
birthday of the sun god Mithra and the winter solstice festival (Saturnalia),
which coincided with December 17-23, in the ancient Roman calendar, and was
transformed into the birthday celebration of Christ, identified with solar
symbolism by Western Christians. The beginning of the church year was accepted
on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. Although Jesus continued the tradition
of worshiping on Saturdays, the acceptance of Sunday (sun-day) as the day of
worship by Christians is actually due to the sun festival. As a matter of fact,
Tertullian, one of the church fathers, mentions this interaction (Ad Nationes,
III, 123).
PINE TREE
It is accepted that the pine tree, which is another basic
element of the celebration of Christmas, originated from the rite of the god
Attis in Greek and Roman pagan cultures. It is believed that Attis, the god of
fertility, was reincarnated in the pine tree, and accordingly the pine tree was
worshiped as a symbol of fertility. Another view is that the Christmas tree is
based on an old Scandinavian legend. According to this, Odin, one of the
Scandinavian gods turned into wisdom and knowledge by hanging themselves on a
pine tree called the tree of the universe after he created the world. In the
legend in question, Odin's self-sacrifice has been likened to Christ's
crucifixion by the Christians. According to another understanding, pine tree
and tree, candle, etc. lighting by hanging objects g The tradition originates
from the Yule festival in the ancient Aryan faith. It was believed that the
pine tree represented immortality, and the candles tied to the tree were lit to
repel evil spirits and witches. The Yule celebration, which falls on December
25, was a pagan celebration held on the shortest "day" of the year in
Scandinavian countries where the days are short. Accordingly, in addition to
the pine tree decoration, the candle tradition later passed to Christian
Europe and different lighting methods became a part of all kinds of
celebrations, especially Christmas. The small moon, sun, and star ornaments
hanging from the tree are also symbols of the Babylonian gods and reached
Christianity through Greek and Roman routes.
When Kasım, son of Cihangir, the ruler of Akkoyunlu, is appointed
to Mardin, a feverish activity begins to repair the city.
he built this multi-purpose madrasah that crowns this selfless success and is
able to survive to be made perfect until today. It is in the form of a complex
with a two-story madrasa, mosque, and tomb on two terraces.
The Kasımiye Madrasah, which has a 700 years history is decorated
with embroidery and corner smells pf knowledge and wisdom. Both religious and
scientific sciences were practiced there.
These two sciences have confronted each other. There are symbols of astronomy
and medical science on the walls of the madrasa. It is construction was started

Akkoyunlu ruler Cihangir. According to the rumors, Kasım Pasha was killed here.
Kasımiye Madrasah iwan according to rumor when Kasım Pasha's sister, Kasım
Pasha died, his bloody shirt was put on the walls of this iwan with laments and
when water was poured on those walls, the traces of blood on the wall were
still visible. It is said that the traces of blood on the walls belong to them.
Again, according to rumors, the water flowing in the pool in the
courtyard of the madrasa conceals a Sufi depiction. With the flow of water,
human life and its aftermath from birth to death is symbolized. The birth of
the water coming out of the fountain, the youth of the place where it spilled,
the maturity of the thin and long grooves and the gathering of the water in a
pool represent death. Later, this water is transferred to the soil through
channels and this water comes back to life from the soil.

THE STORY OF A CUP OF COFFEE
The story is based on Bilge Yusuf from Üsküdar and the
Greek fisherman Stelyo. While the calendar leaves were showing 1895, the
Ottoman officer entered the fisherman's cafe near Eminönü Yemiş Pier, saying,
"Bre Yusuf, everybody has a big coffee from me, but not for the Greek
Palikaria who lives here. My coffee and akçem are forbidden for him."
Wise Yusuf offers coffee. Palikarya puts a coffee in
front of Stella. The minutes roared: "Didn't I tell him it was
forbidden?"Yusuf Bilge never spoils his hoard: "Commander, that
coffee is from me. It is halal to him too."Stelyo gratefully looks at
Yusuf
Years pass. In 1905, the Greek Revolt started on Samos
Island. Damat Ferit Pasha brings soldiers to the island. Wise Yusuf is also a
soldier and is among those who came to the island. However, he is captured in
the first conflict. He lies in Samos dungeons for two years. After two years,
the Greek gangs put Yusuf for sale in the prisoner market. At the auction, a
voice rises among the sounds of 5 coins and 7 coins. "5 kurus for that
Turk. I'm getting it now!"
Yusuf is in disbelief and falls into the hands of the
Greek. He says, "Sir, who are you impure, why did you set me free?"
Rum tells at length. Returns to Yemiş pier 12 years ago.
It tells the day in detail. "Here is me, Stelyo, the fisherman with whom
you halal a cup of coffee."Silence prevails. The Greek takes Yusuf and
takes him out of the village with his car. He stops the carriage near the sea.
Doner Yusuf: He says, "You are free, Wise Yusuf".Tears flood. Stelyo
and Yusuf are together. Yusuf arrives in Istanbul illegally. This friendship continues
for 35 years. They visit each other every year. There is always a cup of coffee
at every visit. They tell their stories to their children and grandchildren.
And this friendship has spawned a saying: A cup of coffee has 40 years of sake.
THE TWO CUPS OF
COFFEE
One
day a philosophy professor comes to class with a few boxes in hand. When the
lesson starts, he puts a large mayonnaise jar in one of the boxes in the middle
of his lectern, without saying anything, and after filling it to the brim with
ping-pong balls, he asks the students whether the jar is full. The students say
in unison that the jar is full.
This
time the professor takes the two cups of coffee ready under the table and pours
it into the jar. Coffee also fills the gaps between the sand. The students
laugh!
The
professor says "Yes," in support of the laughter of his students. “I
tried to express that this jar symbolizes your life. Namely, these ping-pong
balls represent the things you care about in your life: your family, your
children, your health, your friends, and other things that matter to you. Even
if you lose other things, these important things remain and fill your life. ”
“Pebbles
are other things that are less important: your job, your home, your car… Sand
are other little things. If you fill the jar with sand first, there won't be
enough room for pebbles and especially ping-pong balls. The same is true in our
lives: if you waste your time and energy on small things, there will be no time
left for important things. "
“Turn
your attention to the things that matter to your happiness. Play with your
kids. Take care of your health. Go out to dinner with your partner. Meet the needs
of your home. First, place the ping-pong balls in the jar. Know how to rank the
priorities. The rest is always like sand. "
When
the professor's speech is over, a student asks curiously: "So what are
those two cups of coffee?"
The professor said with a laugh, “I was waiting for this question
No matter how full your life is, there is always room for a cup of coffee with friends and loved ones! ”
