Rembrandt van Rijn, "Soo noqoshada wiilka khasaaray"; c. 1662
OF Dabcan, mid baa Ilaah weydiisan kara si toos ah inuu cafiyo qofka dembiyadiisa, oo isagu wuu cafiyi doonaa (dabcan, waanu cafin doonaa kuwa kale. Ciisena wuu ku cadeeyay tan.) Waan isla markiiba, isla goobta ku joogi karnaa sidaana, u joojin karno dhiigbaxa nabarka xadgudubkeena.
Laakiin halkan waa halka Karaamada Ictiraafku ay aad ugu baahan tahay. Nabarka, inkasta oo uusan dhiig baxayn, wali wuxuu ku dhici karaa "is". Ictiraafku wuxuu ku soo jiidayaa faanka hanka dusha sare meesha Masiixa, shakhsiga wadaadka (John 20: 23), wuu tirtiraa wuxuuna ku dabiibaa baalmarka aabaha ee ereyada, "… Ilaahay ha ku siiyo dambi dhaaf iyo nabad, waana kaa dhaafayaa dunuubtaada…." Nimcooyinka aan la arkin waxay ku maydhaan dhaawaca sida — oo leh Calaamadda Iskutallaabta — wadaadku wuxuu adeegsadaa labiska naxariista Eebbe.
Markaad dhakhtar caafimaad ugu tagtid dhaawac xun, miyuu joojinayaa oo kaliya dhiigbaxa, mise miyaanu tolaneyn, nadiifin, oo uusan dhayneynin dhaawacaaga? Masiixa, Dhakhtarka Weyn, wuu ogaa inaan u baahanahay taas, iyo fiiro gaar ah oo ku saabsan nabarradeena ruuxiga ah.
Sidaa darteed, karaamadan ayaa ahayd ka hortagga dembigeenna.
Inta uu jidhka ku jiro, bani aadamku iskama celin karo laakiin ugu yaraan wuxuu yeelan karaa dembiyo fudud. Laakiin ha quudhsan dembiyadan aan ugu yeerno "nuur": haddii aad u qaadatid khafiif markaad miisaamayso, gariir markaad tiriso. Tiro ka mid ah walxaha fudud ayaa sameeya tiro aad u badan; tiro dhibicyo ah ayaa buuxisa wabiga; tiro badar ah ayaa ka dhigaysa taallo. Haddaba maxay tahay rajadeennu? Iskusoo wada duuboo, qirashada. —St. - Augustine, Catechism ee Church Catholic ah, n 1863
Adigoon si adag daruuri u aheyn, qirashada khaladaadka maalinlaha ah (dambiyada marinka) si kastaba ha noqotee si xoogan ayay Kaniisada u soo jeedisay. Runtii qirashada joogtada ah ee dembiyadeena suuban waxay naga caawineysaa inaan sameysano damiirkeena, ladagaalanka ujeedooyinka sharka ah, aan nafteena ku bogsano Masiixa iyo horumarka nolosha Ruuxa.—Catechism ee Kaniisada Katooliga, n 1458
