Why do you go to stations of the cross?
Some people believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross to save people's sins. Going to the Stations of the Cross gives people an idea on how good Jesus was when he gave his life to save ours. When you go there, you realize if Jesus saved our lives, we owe them to him, and should always respect that.
What is the spiritual meaning of covering?
Accountability. When you have a group of seasoned, mature people, or a church overseeing you, you are covered by prayer and watchfulness so you are actually covered by the Lord according to His order. The Lord always had people or groups accountable for individuals. Some examples are Moses over the children of Israel, priests over the general public like Aaron, Jesus over the disciples, and Paul over those he was training. I hope this answers your intended question. Thanks.
What is a burnt sacrifice?
The burnt sacrifice is one which is wholly consumed on the fire of the altar. The other sacrifices had only certain parts offered up.More information:One of the topics in the Torah (Leviticus ch.1-8) is that of sacrifices. Since the Holy Temple doesn't exist today, we don't now offer sacrifices. In earlier times, sacrifices were one of the ways of serving God; a type of manifest prayer. They consisted of bullocks, goats, sheep, rams, turtle-doves, or fine flour, accompanied by an offering of oil and of wine (see Numbers ch.15).Some offerings were obligatory and some were voluntary; some were for the individual and some were for the public. There was one set of offerings which was intended to provide merit for the non-Jewish nations as well.Some of the ideas included in the sacrifices are:gratitude (the Shelamim-offering, Leviticus ch.3),dedication to God (the Olah-offering, Leviticus ch.1),celebration (the Hagigah-offering during Festivals),atonement (the sin-offerings, Leviticus ch.4-5),and public worship (the offerings in Numbers ch.28-29).Our traditions teach that as long as the sacrifices were offered in the Temple, the world was blessed (Talmud, Ketubot 10b) and atoned for (Sukkah 55b).Note:Some people have a misconception that the Prophets were not in favor of sacrifices. This is a mistake. The same Prophet Samuel who said that obedience is more important than offerings (1 Samuel ch.15), himself offered up sacrifices to God (1 Samuel ch.13).What the Prophets meant was that repentance and obedience to God are essential; they shouldaccompany the sacrifices and cannot be replaced by the sacrifices (or anything else). All of the offerings are intended to be part of a process of drawing near to God. This ideal of offerings together with repentance is explained in the Talmud as well (Berakhot 23a). The Talmud adds that, similar to the offerings, Torah-study also needs to be accompanied by repentance (Berakhot 17a).Another misconception is that Judaism changed after the Temple's destruction, and "turned from a sacrifice-centered religion" to one of prayer. This too is a mistake. Jews always worshiped in synagogues, even when the Holy Temple stood. Within the Temple premises itself, there were several synagogues. During the Second Temple era, ancient Greek authors attest to the large synagogues that stood in all the countries where Jews lived. The Dioploston in Alexandria, for example, was famous for its size (Talmud, Tosefta Sukkah 4:6). In First Temple times also, synagogues served the same function that they do today (Talmud, Megillah 26b and Berakhot 31a).See also:Why was the Temple destroyed?
What does bc stand for in the catholic church?
B.C. Stands for Before Christ. A.D. some people believe stands for After Death, but the truth is that A.D. stands for Anno Domine (don't trust my spelling on this one) which means "In the year of our Lord" thus referring to when Christ was born, thus began A.D. and still goes on because it is still the year of our Lord after he conquered the grave and rose again to give us all salvation.
