Circumcision of Christ

According to the Jewish worship the removal of the foreskin was considered as a symbol of divine covenant (Genesis, 17:10-13). There was controversy among the early Christians (St. Paul in his Letter to the Philippians 3:3).

No culto judaico consideravam a remoção do prepúcio como símbolo de aliança divina (Genesis, XVII, 10-13). Houve controvérsia entre os primeiros cristãos (São Paulo in Carta aos Filipenses III, 3).

Christ before Pilate

Pontius Pilate served as a procurator/prefect (praefectus) of the Roman province of Judea (26-36). For St. Luke (23:12) Christ’s condemnation was the way Pilate found to reconcile with Herod. According to Eusebius of Caesarea (Historia Ecclesiastica), he put an end to his life in the year 39 after being discharge from his post by Caligula. It is believed that there is connection between (Christ’s) murder and (Pilate’s) suicide.

Pôncio Pilatos exerceu o cargo de procurador (praefectus) da província romana da Judeia (26-36). Para São Lucas (23, 12) a condenação de Cristo foi a maneira de se reconciliar com Herodes. De acordo com Eusébio de Cesareia pôs termo à vida em 39 depois de destituído por Calígula das funções que exercia. Consideram haver ligação entre o homicídio (Cristo) e o suicídio (Pilatos).
