Many Catholics in Africa, Pope will return to the continent in more than 1,500 years, and the Pope Francis was elected a successor.
Here’s how to celebrate the previous three African pop – and Christians to celebrate Easter Sunday and St. Valentine’s Day.
All three were known as the saints in the church.
I thought Berber origin, Pope Victor, Christians were sometimes headed by Roman officials for refusing to worship the Roman gods.
Perhaps Christians are known to celebrate Easter on Sunday.
In the 2nd century, some Christian groups from the Asian Roman province (in modern Turkey), along with Easter on the same day, celebrated Easter holiday that could fall to different days of the week.
However, Christians in the western part of the empire believed that Jesus raised on Sunday, so Easter should always be celebrated that day.
The dispute when the resurrection occurred this, created a very controversial issue.
The Easter debate was symbolic in larger conflicts between the East and West, and not to follow Christians Jewish practices.
Victor i, the first novel synony – the collection of church leaders – to solve the impassion.
He threatened to excite from the church from the bishops who refused to comply with their wishes.
“He was a very strong sound to get everyone on the same page,” Bellitto told BBC.
It was an effective feat, historian said: “Christianity was the bishop of Rome when Christianity was illegal in the Roman Empire.”
Another important part of the Victor’s heritage was to introduce Latin Latin as the general language of the Catholic Church. Earlier, the initial language of the ancient Greek Catholic Litury, as well as official communication for the church.
Victor I himself speaks in Latin, which speaks in North Africa – and spoke.
Pope Miltiades are believed to be born in Africa.
During his leadership, Christianity has increased its leading Roman emperors, as a result of the official religion of the empire.
Earlier, Christian oppression is widespread in various points in the history of the empire.
However, Prof. Bellitto said that the film was not responsible for this change, and the Pope is more than a “Roman Kindergarten” than being a great negotiation.
Miltiades were given a palace by Roman Emperor Constantine, turned into the first Pope of the residence.
He was also allowed by Constantine to build lateran basilica, the oldest public church in Rome.
While modern Poplar lives in the Vatican and working, the Leran Church is sometimes called “the mother of all churches” in Catholicism.
Gelasius I only is one of the three African pop that historians believe that historians were not born in Africa.
“There is a reference for him … Rome is born. Thus, we do not know whether there is (ever-time) in North Africa, but it is clear that there is origin of North Africa,” said Prof. Bellitto.
According to the Bellitto, Prof was the most important of the leader of the three African churches.
Gelasius is officially recognized officially for a while, which is officially known for a term of the Pope, as the Pope’s role as a representative of Christ.
He also developed the two-sword doctrine that emphasizes the separate powers of the church and the state.
Gelasius I was given to the church in which both authorities entrusted to the government to the government, then aware of the government.
“Later, in the Middle Ages, Poplar sometimes tried to ensure the selection of the emperor or a king, because God gave them this rule,” said Prof Bellitto.
Gelasius I also remembered for the response to Acacancan Schism – between 484 to 519 between the East and Western Christian churches.
During this period, Gelasius confirmed the superior church, east and west, all the church, east and west, believing that each of the specialists is better than each.
Gelasius, for a famous festivities, Christian martyred Star every year to remember the Valentine’s lover, is responsible for building St Valentine’s Day 2 years on February 14 every year.
Some accounts said Valentine was a priest who continues to play weddings in mystery when the Emperor Claudius II was banned by II.
Historians think that Valentine’s Day is a movement in Christian whole traditions by the love of Rome and the fertilization festival, Lupercalia and Gelasius.
Prof Bellitto says there is no way to know with any degree of accuracy that three popunes look like.
“We must remember that the Roman Empire and truly think of the medieval, as we think today. He had nothing to do with the skin color,” he said.
“People in the Roman Empire did not engage in race and engaged in ethnicity.”
An academician MWAura at Kenyatta University of Kenya, BBC’s Roman Africa’s multicultural, local berber and punika groups, local Berber and punika teams, said that he came from Rome and Rome.
“The North African community was quite confusing and was a trade path for many people involved in trade in the previous antiquity,” he said.
Instead of identification with special ethnic groups, most people, most of the territories within the Roman Empire, they accepted themselves as Rome, prof.
None of the 217 pop since Gelasius is believed to come from Africa.
“The church in North Africa has weakened the collapse of the Roman Empire, including the Roman Empire and the demolition of Muslims (North Africa),” said Prof Mwaura.
However, some experts claim that the spread of Islam in North Africa has been explained by the absence of a pope from all continents for more than 1500 years.
Prof CleLitto has been the “Italian monopoly” for years of choosing a new Pope.
However, he said that in Asia in Asia or Africa in the near future, because the Catholics in the South Hemisphere are more than those in the north.
In fact, Catholicism is expanding faster in Sub-Sahara Africa today.
The latest figures show that there are 281 million Catholics in Africa in 2023. This is 20% of the people around the world.
Three Africans, Pope Francis is in the race to succeed – Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, Ghana Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson and Guinea Robert Sarah.
But Profita, “Although Christianity is very strong in Africa, but the strength of the church is still in the north.”
“Maybe when the continent is very strong in the continent, when it is a while, it will come for a while, when the African Pope may be.
