Reflections
Very often in our everyday life we, consciously or unconsciously, use ideas and expressions which are biblical, but do we know the meaning and significance of these invaluable words? Aren’t we using them inappropriately, out of place? The show “Reflections” touches upon these issues.
The Alpha and the Omega
This expression is used to point out the beginning and the end of something, the main and basic thing, the essence (in Armenian this expression is used as "Ayb and Fe" or "Ayb and Ke"). This expression is taken from the Book of Revelation of Apostle John. The author of the last book of the Bible starts his book with the word "revelation." In some languages that word is translated is "apocalypsis," which comes from Greek. For the contemporary reader, this word has gained an absolutely specific, even ominous meaning.
Burying the Talent in the Ground
This expression is used with the following meaning – not to care about the development of one's own abilities, not to use them, ruin them. In ancient times, the word "talent" was used with the meaning of scale (balance), a measure of weight, then to show large amount of money, monetary measure, and only subsequently it became the synonym for human unusual abilities in any sphere.
