:) Klaus, te kereszteny vagy? En ateista vagyok, korabban szinte semmit nem foglalkoztam a vallassal, igy nem csoda, hogy nem tudtam de te ugy tudom mar ragod egy ideje a dolgot..
Erdekes kis dolgot vettem eszre. A valasz ugy tunik pofonegyszerubb, mint hittem..
Tevuton jartam, mikor azt hittem, az aldas keztartasnak nincs onmagaban ertelme, csak a kulonbozo modosulatok ruhaztak fel a plussz tartalommal.
Az aldas tortenete:
(http://www.tserkov.org/documents/blessing.html)
"Just as in the Old Testament the right of blessing was given by God to Aaron and his sons, in the New Testament Church it is acquired by Bishops and Priests. There is no doubt that very mode of bestowing blessings has been preserved by the Church according to the Apostles' Tradition. The Apostles blessed the faithful in accordance with the Savior's example from the beginning, as heirs of Divine Grace; and they bestowed after themselves the right to "minister unto Him, and execute the office of the Priesthood, and bless the people in His name." (Eccls.45:15) to their successors: hierarchs and priests. The Priest blesses the Faithful in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, therefore the fingers of his right hand are arranged so as to represent the customary abbreviation of Jesus Christ in Greek: IC XC (the first and last letters of "Jesus" and "Christ" in Greek). Because of this, how precious and sacred the Priest's blessing should be to us all!"
Az egyhaz fenntartotta az apostoli tradiciokat. Jezus Krisztus aldyhattak meg a hiveiket. Ezert a papok is csak Jezus Krisztus neveben aldhatjak meg hiveiket, ezert formazzak jobb kezuk ujjaival IC XC gorog betuket. Emiatt kell az aldast rendkivul nagy becsben tartani.
"Bishops and priests sign us with the sign of the Cross. This is called a blessing.
When the priest blesses us, he forms the Greek letters IC XC, that is, Jesus Christ, with the fingers of his hand. This means that through the priest our Lord Jesus Christ Himself blesses us. Therefore, we must receive the blessing of the clergy with reverence."
Amikor a pap megald minket az IC XC gorog betuket formazza az ujjaival, ami Jezus Krisztus. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a papon keresztul maga Jezus Krisztus ald meg minket.

"The priest will cross you. When blessing the priest puts his fingers so that they represent the Greek letters Ic and Xc that mean Jesus Christ."
Mikor a pap megald minket ugy tartja az ujjait, hogy Jezus Krisztust nevenek gorog kezdobetuit formazza.

"During the Divine Liturgy the priest will bless the congregation six times with his hand. In giving a blessing the priest will hold his hand such that, if viewed from the front, side on, the ritually prescribed position will indicate the Greek letters IC XC - the traditional Greek abbreviation (first and last letters) of the Words Iesus Christos. The ritual position is as follows: the index finger points straight up to form the I, the edge of the hand toward the people, the middle and little fingers curve to form the C, while the thumb and ring fingers cross to form the X. The symbolism, of course, is meant to indicate that it is not the priest who is doing any of these things - but Christ Himself, personally, who is doing them while the priest acts "in persona Christi" - i.e., that it is *Christ* who is acting, in a sense analogous to that of St. Paul when he said "I live, now, not I, but it is Christ who lives in me." It is intended to make it absolutely clear that all blessings flow from Christ - not from the priest."
Liturgia alatt a pap 6-szor megaldja a gyulekezetet a kezevel. A kezet ugy tartja, hogy szembol szemlelve az XC IC gorog betuket, Jezus Krisztus nevenek kezdobetuit formazza. Ez a szimbolizmus azt jelzi, hogy nem a pap vegzi az aldast, hanem Krisztus maga, amig a pap ot megszemelyesiti. Azzal a cellal jott letre, hogy abszolut egyertelmuve tegye, hogy minden aldas Krisztustol jon, nem a paptol.

"Yet before he did, Bishop Basil asked Father Stephen to
bless us, and Father slowly lifted his right arm, properly formed the fingers of his right hand in the form of IC XC, and made a perfect cross, giving us, for the last time, and with his eyes closed, his priestly blessing"
egy pap utolso aldasa, tokeletes IC XC -t formazott, es egy tokeletes keresztet vetett vele halala elott.
"Bishops and Priests, in bestowing the Benediction, hold the fingers in such a manner as to represent the Greek letters 1C, XC - the first and last letters of Jesus Christ."
A papok es puspokok aldast kozben az ujjaikat olyanforman tartjak, hogy a gorog IC XC betuket formazzak, Jezus Krisztus nevenek betuit.
