Hoshanna in Judaism
In Jewish liturgy , the Hoshannot are a cycle of prayers suitable for the feast of Sukkot , which once stood in the Temple of Jerusalem , and today the synagogue. During the first six days of Sukkot, it scrolls around the stage on which the Torah is read with branches of palm, willow, myrtle and citron, the cycle is read to the Seventh Day, called for this Because Hoshanna Rabbah ("Great Hoshanna"), during which one performs the same procession with branches of willow , the Jews launched to God during Hallel , which was read to the new moon , during the three festivals Bible ( Passover , Shavuot and Sukkot ) and 8 days of Chanukah (the religious Zionists also recite during the Independence Day of Israel ).
Although the term hoshanna is not in the Hebrew Bible , it is neither a corruption of na hoshya as assumed Jerome Stridon or a term Judeo-Aramaic, as suggested by Elia Levita ( root - - Y-SH-'does not exist in Aramaic), but the form hiphil which the enclitic is attached na .
Hosanna in Christianity
Hosanna seems to have a different meaning in the Gospels, where he was employed as a cry of joy, especially when used the solemn entry of Jesus to Jerusalem on the day of the Palm , during which the faithful take branches Palm to perform processions, according to the liturgy of Jerusalem. Various attempts have been made to explain that this ceremony, so like that of Hoshaanot of Sukkot (a fall festival) takes place around Easter (spring festival).
Since the nineteenth century some biblical critics have argued that it is a mistake, and that the facts have happened to Sukkot, but it was considered more likely at the time that the ceremony has been described in use with Jews in all cheerful ceremony, and the term of Hoshana had lost its original meaning long before the events described in the Gospels .
According to more recent work of biblical scholars as Hyam Maccoby , the Feast, they underscore the messianic , have subsequently been displaced in the Christian calendar .
Theologians for Catholics , for example Jean Danielou or Philippe Rouillard , the festival of Sukkot finds its resurgence in both the feast of Ember and that of Palm .
The Hosanna was quickly included in the Christian liturgy.
It is taken twice by the Catholic liturgy :
- in the Sanctus , which is the proclamation of God's holiness by the faithful.
- when will the sacrifice be renewed Eucharistic.
In Protestantism , the term is used in many songs.
The word has also become the name component of many groups and the name of an evangelical denomination.
