ʻO ka Pōʻalima maikaʻi ka lā kanikau loa ma mua o ka Easter. I kēia lā i kumakaiaʻia aiʻo Iesū Kristo, a ua kauʻiaʻo ia ma ke keʻa. Ke hoʻolaʻa nei kēia lā a pau i ka pule a me ke kaumaha no Iesū i make. Ma hope o ke kakahiaka kakahiaka e huki lākou i ke kula. Eia nā papa i hōʻikeʻia aiʻo Kristo ma kahi pahu kupapaʻu i ka nui maoli. Ua hoʻokomoʻia kāna (shroud) ma waenakonu o ka luakini a hoʻonaniʻia me nā pua a me ka meaʻala. I kēia lā, hikiʻole ke hana i kekahi hana aʻai i ka meaʻai a hiki i ka wā e hoʻopukaʻia ai ke kula.
ʻO ka pane i ka nīnau, inā paha e hiki ke kanu i ka lā maikaʻi maikaʻi o ka mea i make, he kuhiʻole. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, e like me keʻano o nā cannesiano Karistiano,ʻaʻohe mea e pāpāʻia ai, a inā e hāʻule ka hoʻolewa o ke kahunapule i kēlā lā, a laila e kū ai. ʻO nāʻoihana kūikawā e hana mau ana a me nā mea o kēia ao, e like me kaʻahaʻaina o kaʻahaʻainaʻo ka mahinaʻahaʻaina , no ka mea,ʻaʻole ia he mea hōʻeuʻeu.
ʻO kekahi nīnau, he hiki ke koho i ke kahuna i kahi hana hoʻomana. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, i loko o ka hale pulepule ka hana hoʻomākaukau a me nā pule pule ma mua o ka alaʻo ka Easter. No laila,ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka heleʻana i ka halepule o ka halepule aʻikeʻoe inā paha e hiki i ke kahuna ke mālama i kahi hoʻolewa.
He aha inā inā kanuʻia kekahi kanaka ma ka maikaʻi maikaʻi?
ʻOiai, he pono i nā poʻe Orthodox ke kanu i ka lāʻekolu mai ka lā i make ai. A inā e hāʻule kēia lā ma ka lā maikaʻi maikaʻi,
Akā inā makemakeʻoe e mālama i nā pūkuniahi a pau o ka halepule a hoʻomau i nā lāʻekolu ma mua o ka hoʻolewaʻana, aiʻoleʻoe e kali i nāʻohana noho lōʻihi, a laila kanuʻia nā kānaka ma ka hola maikaʻi. ʻO ka mea nui,ʻo kaʻike mua i keʻano o ka piliʻana i kēia ma kou luakini.
