NgamaSonto ePalm Palm ahlala evuyiswa kwaye evuya, ezukisa igama likaKristu, kodwa sele eqala ngoMsombuluko baqala ukulila, beva ukuza kutshatyalaliswa nokufa. Ngaloo mini, kuyisiko ukukhumbula umhla xa uMsindisi efikile eYerusalem, lowo wadibana naye waza wazama ukuthumela abantu abaqhelekileyo. Iveki Elingcwele ngaphambi kwePasika libiza onke amaKristu ukuba agcine isigxina se-second degree - ukutya okumeleyo. Njengangaphambili, akuvumelekile ukutya ukutya kwezilwanyana, kodwa ngoku awukwazi ukuncibilikisa ioli, kwaye kukunconywa ukutya ukupheka ngaphandle kwonyango. Ngomhla wokuqala weveki eliqinileyo kukho umyalelo wokungadli konke kude kube sekuseni kwelanga.
