Easter. The Encyclopædia Britannica e tlhalosa jaana: “Mo Tesetamenteng e Ntšha ga go na sepe se se bontshang gore go ne go ketekwa letsatsi la Ista.” Ista e simologile kae? E simolotse mo kobamelong ya boheitane. Le fa batho ba bolela gore ba keteka tsogo ya ga Jesu ka letsatsi leno, dilo tse ba di dirang ka nako ya Ista ga se tsa Bokeresete. Ka sekai, The Catholic Encyclopedia e bolela jaana ka “Mmutla wa Ista” o o rategang thata: “Mmutla ono ke setshwantsho se se neng se dirisiwa mo boheitaneng mme o tshwantshetsa maatla a go tsala.”

Meletlo ya Ngwaga o Mosha. Malatsi a go ketekwa ga ngwaga o mosha le ditlwaelo tsa teng di farologana go ya ka dinaga.

Baroma ba ne ba keteka letsatsi leno go tlotla Janus, modimo wa ditswalo, dikgoro le ditshimologo. Kgwedi ya January e ne ya reelelwa ka Janus, yo o neng a na le difatlhego tse pedi—se sengwe se lebile kwa pele mme se sengwe sone se lebile kwa morago.” Ka jalo, mekete ya ngwaga o mosha e tswa kwa dingwaong tsa boheitane.

The Encyclopedia Americana e bolela jaana: “Ditlwaelo tse di amanang le Halloween di simolotse mo meletlong ya Druid [ya baperesiti ba bogologolo ba Ba-Celtic] ya pele ga motlha wa Bokeresete. Ba-Celtic ba ne ba na le meletlo mengwe e ba neng ba e keteka go tlotla medingwana e mebedi e megolo—modimo wa letsatsi le modimo wa baswi . . . , yo moletlo wa gagwe o neng o tshwarwa ka November 1, e leng tshimologo ya Ngwaga o Mosha wa Ba-Celtic. Moletlo wa baswi o ne wa tsena ka iketlo mo Bokereseteng.”

Malatsi a Mangwe a a Ketekwang. Ga re kgone go tlotla ka meletlo yotlhe e e ketekwang ke batho mo lefatsheng lotlhe. Le fa go ntse jalo, malatsi mangwe a a ketekwang go tlotlomatsa batho kgotsa mekgatlho ya batho ga a amogelwe ke Jehofa. (Jeremia 17:5-7; Ditiro 10:25, 26) Gape, gakologelwa gore se se botlhokwa ka meletlo ya bodumedi ke gore a e itumedisa Modimo kgotsa ga e mo itumedise. (Isaia 52:11; Tshenolo 18:4) Melaometheo ya Baebele e e umakiwang mo Kgaolong ya 16 ya buka eno e tla go thusa go bona gore Modimo o leba jang go ketekwa ga malatsi ano a a ketekwang a e seng a bodumedi.
