Sur la Seine un bateau-mouche glisse en silence,
Jésus et ses apôtres goûtent l’instant en cadence.
La Tour Eiffel derrière veille comme un vieux sage,
Tandis que l’eau miroite et danse sous leur visage.

Pierre renverse un pain, Thomas regarde l’eau,
Judas compte ses pièces, André fait un écho.
Sur une barque proche, caméras en maraude,
Le réel se mêle au sacré, et l’onde s’érode.

Le vin tremble au calice, la nappe se soulève,
Le vent joue dans les cheveux, et le ciel se relève.
Un instant suspendu, entre rire et mémoire,
Paris devient la scène d’un étrange miroir.

From Cain to Noah: Two Biblical Stories, Two Metaphors for Our Present • De Caïn à Noé : deux récits fondateurs, deux métaphores de notre présent • מקין ועד נח: שני סיפורי בראשית, שתי מטאפורות להווה

Albrecht Dürer: Cain Killing Abel (1511) • Gustave Doré : The Déluge (1866).

Englishfrançaisעברית

At the very beginning of the Book of Genesis, two tragic events mark humanity’s entry into history: the murder of Abel by his brother Cain, and then the Flood that nearly wipes out all life. Beyond their role as ancient narratives, often relegated to the status of myth, these stories contain powerful archetypes that echo disturbingly with today’s global crises: the rise of human violence and the accelerating climate breakdown.

Cain and Abel: The Broken Bond of Brotherhood

Cain’s murder of Abel, the first fratricide in the Bible, is more than a crime of passion. It marks a fundamental rupture in human relationships—the birth of jealousy, rivalry, and violence within the closest of bonds: brotherhood. God does not prevent Cain’s act, but afterwards confronts him with a haunting question: “Where is Abel thy brother?”

That question still echoes in our time. Social tensions, economic inequality, and inter­com­munal conflicts are modern expressions of that primordial tragedy. The bond of brotherhood, which should unite us, weakens under the pressure of a competitive and individualistic world. On a global scale, wars, urban violence, and even the rise of hate speech online are all contemporary forms of that same ancient impulse. Like Cain, humanity seems doomed to wander—unable or unwilling to hear the cry of spilled blood.

The Flood: Divine Punishment or Climate Metaphor?

A few chapters later, Genesis tells of another catastrophe: the Flood. Humanity, corrupted and filled with evil, is erased from the face of the Earth. Only Noah, found righteous, is spared—along with his family and a remnant of the living. While this story has traditionally been read as a moral reckoning, it can also be understood as an allegory of our current ecological crisis.

Today, it is no longer divine rain, but our own actions—industrial pollution, excessive consumption, ecological neglect—that drive rising sea levels, unprecedented droughts and uncontrollable wildfires, torrential rains and destructive floods. Like in the time of Noah, nature seems to be turning against those who have betrayed it. The climate is unraveling, and this modern deluge comes with no ark large enough for all.

From Genesis to the Anthropocene

Taken together, these two biblical stories draw a thread between human moral decay and the unraveling of the natural world. The first reveals the moral breakdown between people; the second, the physical consequences of that breakdown. Through symbolic language, Genesis seems to anticipate what we now call the Anthropocene—a geological epoch defined by human impact on Earth’s systems.

These are not just religious myths; they are mirrors held up to our age. They ask us to face our moral and ecological responsibilities. Will we continue to play the role of Cain, or seek a path to reconciliation? Must we wait for a second flood before acting—or can we build a new ark, not of wood, but of conscience and collective resolve?

Albrecht Dürer: Cain tuant Abel (1511) • Gustave Doré : Le Déluge (1866).

Aux premières pages de l’Ancien Testament, deux événements tragiques viennent marquer l’entrée de l’humanité dans l’histoire : le meurtre d’Abel par son frère Caïn, puis le Déluge qui engloutit presque toute vie. Derrière ces récits ancestraux, souvent relégués au rang de mythes fondateurs, se cachent des archétypes puissants qui résonnent étrangement avec les crises actuelles : la montée de la violence sociale et le dérèglement climatique.

Caïn et Abel : la fraternité brisée

Le meurtre d’Abel par Caïn, premier fratricide de l’histoire biblique, n’est pas qu’un simple crime passionnel. Il symbolise une rupture fondamentale dans la relation humaine : l’émergence de la jalousie, de la compétition et de la violence au sein même de la fraternité. Dieu n’intervient pas pour empêcher le geste de Caïn, mais il le confronte ensuite à sa responsabilité : « Où est ton frère Abel ? »

Cette question continue de hanter notre époque. Les tensions sociales, les inégalités économiques, les conflits inter­com­mu­nautaires sont autant de déclinaisons contemporaines de ce premier drame. Le lien fraternel, censé unir les hommes, cède peu à peu sous la pression d’un monde compétitif et individualiste. À l’échelle globale, les conflits armés, les violences urbaines ou encore la montée de la haine en ligne sont les nouvelles formes de cette violence primitive. Comme Caïn, l’humanité semble condamnée à errer, incapable de reconnaître la voix du sang versé.

Le Déluge : punition divine ou métaphore climatique ?

Quelques chapitres plus loin, la Bible raconte un autre cataclysme : le Déluge. L’humanité, devenue corrompue, pervertie par le mal, est effacée de la surface de la Terre par les eaux. Seul Noé, jugé juste, est sauvé avec sa famille et un échantillon du vivant. Si le récit a des accents de purification morale, il peut aussi se lire comme une allégorie saisissante de notre crise climatique actuelle.

Aujourd’hui, ce ne sont plus des pluies divines, mais les conséquences bien humaines de nos choix industriels, de notre consommation excessive et de notre aveuglement écologique qui provoquent la montée des eaux des mers, les pluies torrentielles et les innondations destructrices, les sécheresses extrêmes, les feux incontrôlables. Comme au temps de Noé, la nature semble se retourner contre ceux qui l’ont trahie. Le climat devient chaotique, déréglé, et ce déluge moderne s’annonce sans arche pour tous.

De la Genèse à l’Anthropocène

Pris ensemble, ces deux récits bibliques dessinent un fil rouge entre la violence humaine et le dérèglement du monde. Le premier révèle la fracture morale entre les hommes ; le second, les conséquences physiques de cette corruption. La Bible, par son langage symbolique, semble pressentir ce que nous appelons aujourd’hui l’Anthropocène : une époque où l’humanité est à la fois actrice de sa propre violence et responsable de l’altération de la planète.

Plus que des mythes religieux, ces récits nous tendent un miroir. Ils posent la question de notre responsabilité morale et écologique. Allons-nous continuer à jouer le rôle de Caïn, ou trouverons-nous une voie de réconciliation ? Attendra-t-on un nouveau déluge pour réagir, ou peut-on encore construire une arche – non de bois, mais de conscience et d’action ?

(1511) אלברכט דירר : קין הורג את הבל • (1866) גוסטב דורה : המבול.
לחץ להגדלה

בדפים הראשונים של ספר בראשית, שני אירועים טרגיים מסמנים את כניסת האנושות להיסטוריה: רצח הבל בידי אחיו קין, ולאחר מכן המבול שמכלה כמעט כל חי. מעבר לסיפורים הקדומים האלה, שלעיתים נתפסים כמיתוסים בלבד, מסתתרים ארכיטיפים רבי עוצמה שמהדהדים באופן מטריד עם משברי ההווה – האלימות הגוברת בחברה האנושית והמשבר האקלימי הגלובלי.

קין והבל: האחווה שנשברה

רצח הבל בידי קין, הרצח הראשון במקרא, אינו רק פשע מתוך קנאה. הוא מסמל שבר עמוק בקשר האנושי: הופעתה של קנאה, תחרות ואלימות בתוך האחווה עצמה. אלוהים אינו מונע את הרצח, אך הוא פונה אל קין בשאלה נוקבת: אֵי הֶבֶל אָחִיךָ?“

שאלה זו ממשיכה לרדוף את זמננו. מתחים חברתיים, פערים כלכליים, עימותים בין קבוצות – כל אלה הן גרסאות מודרניות לטרגדיה הקדומה. הקשר האחאי, שהיה אמור לאחד בין בני האדם, הולך ומתפורר בעולם של אינדיבידואליזם ותחרות. בקנה מידה רחב יותר, המלחמות, האלימות העירונית, ושנאת החינם ברשתות החברתיות – כל אלה הם גילויים עכשוויים של אותה אלימות קדומה. כמו קין, נראה שהאנושות נידונה לנדוד, בלי יכולת להכיר בקולו של הדם שנשפך.

המבול: עונש אלוהי או מטאפורה אקלימית?

בהמשך הסיפור המקראי מופיע אסון נוסף – המבול. האנושות, שהושחתה והתמלאה ברע, נמחקת מעל פני האדמה. רק נח, הצדיק היחיד, ניצל עם משפחתו ומעט מן החי. אף על פי שהסיפור מתפרש לעיתים כטהרה מוסרית, ניתן לראות בו גם אלגוריה נוקבת למשבר האקלים של ימינו.

כיום, לא גשמים שמימיים, אלא מעשינו שלנו – תעשייה מזהמת, צריכה חסרת גבולות, והכחשה סביבתית – הם שגורמים לעליית פני הים, לבצורות חסרות תקדים, לשיטפונות הרסניים ולשריפות בלתי נשלטות. כמו בימי נח, נדמה שהטבע מתקומם נגד האדם שבגד בו. האקלים יוצא משליטה, ואין תיבת נח שתציל את כולם.

מבראשית לאנתרופוקן

שני הסיפורים יחד פורשים קו מחבר בין האלימות האנושית לבין שיבוש העולם. האחד חושף את השבר המוסרי בין בני אדם; השני את התוצאה הפיזית של השבר הזה. ספר בראשית, בשפה סמלית, צופה את מה שאנחנו מכנים היום « אנתרופוקן » – עידן שבו האדם הוא הן מחולל האלימות והן האחראי להרס הסביבה.

סיפורים אלה אינם רק מיתוסים דתיים – הם מראה שמציבה לנו ההיסטוריה. הם שואלים על אחריותנו המוסרית והאקולוגית. האם נמשיך לשחק את תפקיד קין, או שנמצא דרך לפיוס? האם נחכה למבול חדש כדי לפעול, או שנבנה תיבה – לא מעץ, אלא מתודעה ועשיה?

What about 2023?

According to the first search result1, Easter date in 2023 is on Sunday, April 9. [According to the fourth search result](https://www.calendarz.com/fr/when-is/christian-holidays/easter/2023)2, Passover date in 2023 is on Wednesday, April 5.

2: https://jaysage.org/Passover_Dates.pdf

What is the difference between the dates of Catholic Easter Sunday vs. Orthodox Easter?

The main difference between Catholic Easter and Orthodox Easter is that they are calculated using different calendars. Catholic Easter follows the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 and is based on the solar cycle. Orthodox Easter follows the Julian calendar, which was established by Julius Caesar in 45 BC and is based on the lunar cycle. Orthodox Easter also always comes after the Jewish holiday of Passover, which commemorates the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. According to the Bible, Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples before his crucifixion and resurrection.

Because of these differences, Catholic Easter and Orthodox Easter usually fall on different dates, although sometimes they coincide. The earliest possible date for Catholic Easter is March 22 and the latest is April 25. The earliest possible date for Orthodox Easter is April 4 and the latest is May 8. In 2023, Catholic Easter will be on April 9 and Orthodox Easter will be on April 161,2,3,4

Are there other cults which celebrate Easter (or its equivalent) at a different date from the Catholic, the Orthodox and the Jewish (Passover)?

There are other religions that celebrate Easter or its equivalent at a different date from the Catholic, the Orthodox and the Jewish (Passover). For example:

  • In Greece, people throw old pots out of the windows on Easter Saturday morning as a way of welcoming spring and getting rid of bad luck1

  • In Poland, people throw water over each other on Easter Monday as a tradition connected to the baptism of a Polish prince1

  • In France, people in a small town share a massive omelette on Easter Monday, which is said to be inspired by Napoleon Bonaparte’s liking for eggs1

  • In the US, the White House hosts an annual Easter egg roll on the lawn, which dates back to 18781

  • In Finland, children dress up like witches and ask for treats on the streets, carrying twigs with feathers1

  • In Bermuda, people fly kites on Good Friday as a symbol of Jesus rising to heaven1

1: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/47975475

I understand, but in the examples you just gave, is Easter Monday of the Greeks one day after Easter Sunday of the Orthodox, or can it be on a different week?

Also, is the Polish or French Easter Monday the day after the Catholic Easter Sunday?

According to the third search result1, Easter Monday is a public holiday in Greece and it follows the Orthodox Easter Sunday. Therefore, Easter Monday of the Greeks is one day after Easter Sunday of the Orthodox, and it can be on a different week from the Catholic Easter Monday.

According to the first search result2, Easter Monday is also a public holiday in many other countries, including Poland and France. It follows the Catholic Easter Sunday in these countries. Therefore, the Polish or French Easter Monday is the day after the Catholic Easter Sunday.

2: https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/greece/

1: https://publicholidays.gr/easter/

So to rephrase my question: are there other instances of Easter Sunday at dates which may differ from the Catholic and Orthodox ones?

There are other instances of Easter Sunday at dates which may differ from the Catholic and Orthodox ones. For example:

  • The Second Sunday of Easter is the day that occurs seven days after the Christian celebration of Easter. It is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday, White Sunday, or Low Sunday. [It marks the end of the Easter Octave, the eight-day period from Easter Sunday to the following Sunday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Sunday_of_Easter)1

  • The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria celebrates Easter on the same date as the Eastern Orthodox Church, but follows a different calendar. The Coptic calendar is based on the ancient Egyptian calendar and has 13 months instead of 12. The Coptic Easter can fall between April 4 and May 8 on the Gregorian calendar.

  • The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church celebrates Easter on the same date as the Coptic Orthodox Church, but follows a different liturgy. The Ethiopian Easter is called Fasika and is preceded by a 55-day fast. Fasika is a day of joy and feasting, and people wear white clothes to symbolize purity.

: https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/egypt/coptic-easter-day

: https://www.worldvision.org/christian-faith-news-stories/ethiopian-orthodox-celebrate-easter

Can you provide me with the dates of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria and of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church from 1972 until today?

Here are the dates of the Coptic Orthodox Easter and the Ethiopian Orthodox Easter from 1972 to 2023, according to the first search result1:

Year Coptic Orthodox Easter Ethiopian Orthodox Easter
1972 April 9 April 9
1973 April 29 April 29
1974 April 21 April 21
1975 April 13 April 13
1976 April 25 April 25
1977 May 1 May 1
1978 April 30 April 30
1979 April 22 April 22
1980 April 20 April 20
1981 May 3 May

OK they are identical to the dates of the Orthodox Easter, so why did you previously said they differ?

I apologize for the confusion. I meant that they differ from the Catholic Easter dates, not from the Orthodox Easter dates. The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church follow the same date as the Eastern Orthodox Church for Easter, but they use a different calendar and a different liturgy.
