YUNAN-ROMA UYGARLIĞINDA İNSAN-TANRILARA TAPINMA TÖRENİ OLARAK: KİLİSE EKMEK-ŞARAP AYİNİ

Abstract

ÖZ

Paganların asırlardan beri uyguladığı Evharistiya ayinini, Hıristiyanların

biraz daha fazla ruhsal kılarak ve dinsel törenlerinde ekmek ile şarabı sunarak

hiç kimse daha iyi yerine getiremezdi. Çünkü İsa, tıpkı Adonis ve Attis, Osiris ve

Dionysus gibi ve özellikle de bunların tüm niteliklerine tek başına sahibi olan

Romalı tanrı insan Mithras gibi, bakire bir anadan doğmuş, acı çekmiş ve ölmüş,

öldükten sonra dirilmiş, kendisine tapınanları kurtarmak için mistik bir ihtirasa

kapılmış; tanrının etinin yendiği bir olma ayini esnasında tapınanları, tanrıinsan

ilahla yüz yüze geldiklerine, tanrı kanı olarak içtikleri kadehteki şarapla

ayinin sırrına vâkıf olarak ölümsüz hayata kavuşacaklarına inanmışlardır.

ABSTRACT

The Church Holy Communion Rite as The Ceremonial Worship to

The Human-Deities in the Greco-Roman Civilization

Nor there any evidence that christians made a better use interpolate with a

more spiritual application of this sacrament that ceremonial offering of bread and

wine than the pagans did for centuries. Because Christ, like Adonis and Attis,

Osiris and Dionysus and especially like Mithras who was a Roman god-man

deity possessed with all of them qualities, also born from virgin mother, suffer

and die and rise again; to become one with them is the mystical passion of their

worshippers; during the communion worshipper believe that they faced with their

man-god, their mysteries give immortality by dirinking his blood namely a cup of

wine.
