San Cristóbal de La Guardia, San Mauro de Verona, Santa Hilaria... Wazini ngalabo abangcwele abenze okuningi kangaka emhlabeni futhi abakhunjulwa kancane? Lapho udinga usizo lwaphezulu, kungani ungabhejeli ngabo futhi uthandaze kubo ukuba bakusize?

Uyini ongcwele? Ongcwele kungaba indoda noma owesifazane oye wagqama ebudlelwaneni babo nonkulunkulu noma ukuphakama kwesimilo.. Ngamanye amazwi, benze okuthile okuhle kubantu, izilwane noma izitshalo futhi, ngenxa yalokhu, baqashelwa. Abangcwele futhi babhekwa njengalabo abenza egameni likankulunkulu, noma abangabavikeli bendawo noma iqembu labantu.

Ngokuvamile, lapho igama libhekisela kowesifazane, libizwa ngokuthi "ungcwele." Kodwa endabeni yendoda, ngaphandle kokunye, i-apocope "san" isetshenziswa.
Kuye ngenkolo, umqondo wabangcwele uyahluka kancane. Ngokwesibonelo, EbuKristwini, abangcwele yilabo abagqama ngenxa yobuhle babo kanye nempilo abayiphilayo., ngendlela yokuba yizibonelo okufanele zilandelwe abanye; Kunalokho, e-Islam, abangcwele bayizimfanelo uNkulunkulu azinikeza abantu abanomusa, abahlakaniphile nabalandela izimfundiso zikankulunkulu wabo. Ngakho-ke, babhekwa "njengabakhethiweyo" futhi basondele kakhulu eNkosini yabo.

Nokho, ubuBuddha bubheka ukuthi umuntu ubhekwa njengongcwele lapho efinyelela ekukhanyiselweni (ngomqondo wokufinyelela ukuqonda okukhulu kakhulu kokuphila).

Thola kulesi sigaba se-Postposm umlando, amaqiniso kanye nemisebenzi yabangcwele abaningi okwakusezweni futhi kusale ukubheka imiphefumulo. Thola ukuthi, ngale kwalabo obaziyo, njengabavangeli, kukhona abanye abangcwele abenze okuhle okuningi emhlabeni kubantu, izilwane noma izitshalo.
