UChristopher oNgcwele waseLa Guardia, uSaint Mauro waseVerona, uSanta Hilaria... Wazi ntoni ngabo bangcwele abenzela izinto ezininzi kangaka ihlabathi nabakhunjulwa kancinane? Xa ufuna uncedo lobuthixo, kutheni ungabhejeli ngabo uze uthandaze kubo ukuba bakuncede?

Yintoni ingcwele? Ingcwele inokuba yindoda okanye ibhinqa eliye lagqama kulwalamano lwayo noothixo okanye ukuphakama kwemilinganiselo yokuziphatha.. Oko kukuthi, wenze into elungileyo ebantwini, kwizilwanyana okanye kwizityalo yaye, ngenxa yoku, uye waqondwa. Abangcwele bakwajongwa njengabo basebenza egameni lothixo, okanye ngabakhuseli bendawo okanye iqela labantu.

Ngokuqhelekileyo, xa igama libhekisela kumfazi, kuthiwa "ungcwele." Kodwa kwimeko yendoda, ngaphandle kwezinye izinto, i-apocope "san" isetyenziswa.
Ngokuxhomekeke kwinkolo, ingcamango yeengcwele iyahluka kancinci. Umzekelo, KubuKrestu, abangcwele ngabo bagqamayo ngenxa yeempawu zabo ezintle kunye nendlela yokuphila abayiphilayo., ngendlela yokuba babe yimizekelo elandelwa ngabanye; Ngokwahlukileyo koko, kubuSilamsi, iingcwele ziimfaneleko uThixo azinika abantu abanobubele, abalumkileyo nabalandela iimfundiso zothixo wabo. Ngoko ke, bagqalwa ‘njengabanyuliweyo’ yaye basondele kakhulu eNkosini yabo.

Noko ke, ubuBhuda bugqala ukuba umntu ugqalwa engcwele xa efikelela ekukhanyeni (ngengqiqo yokufikelela olona lwazi luphakamileyo lobomi).

Fumana kweli candelo le-Postposmo imbali, iinyani kunye nokuxhaphaza abaninzi abangcwele ababesehlabathini kwaye bahlala bejonge imiphefumlo. Fumanisa ukuba, ngaphaya kwabo ubaziyo, njengabavangeli, kukho abanye abangcwele nabo benza okulungileyo okuninzi ehlabathini ngenxa yabantu, izilwanyana okanye izityalo.
