Ko te Aranga tētahi o ngā hararei tino nui o te whakapono Karaitiana. I tēnei rā, ka whakanuia e te hunga whakapono te Aranga mai o Ihu Karaiti, nāna nei i hinga te mate, i whakaora hoki i te tangata i te hara taketake.
Kāore he rā pumau mō tēnei hararei pērā i te Kirihimete, engari, nā te whakatau a te Hāhi, ka taka ki te Rātapu i muri i te marama katoa tuatahi i muri i te equinox o te kōanga. Nō reira, ko te rā o te Aranga, e whakawhirinaki ana ki te marama, ā, ka taea te whakatakoto i waenganui i ngā marama o Poutū-te-rangi me Paenga-whāwhā.
Ko te kupu 'Paska' i ahu mai i te kupu Hiperu ko te pesah, ko tōna tikanga ko te 'whiti atu'.
I mua noa atu i te taenga mai o Ihu, kua roa kē te iwi o Iharaira e whakanui ana i te Aranga hei whakamaumahara i tētahi o ngā wāhanga nui o te Kawenata Tawhito (te wāhanga o te Paipera e whakakotahi ana i ngā Hūrai me ngā Karaitiana).
I tētahi atu taha, ki te whakapono Katorika, ko te Aranga te wā i hinga ai te Mate i a Ihu, ā, i riro ai ia hei Kaiwhakaora mō te tangata, i whakawātea i te hara taketake o Ātama rāua ko Īwa.
E whakanui ana te Aranga Karaitiana i te hokinga mai o Ihu ki te ao, he huihuinga e tohu ana i te hinganga o te Kino, te whakakorenga o te Hara Taketake me te tīmatanga o tētahi oranga hou e tatari ana ki ngā whakapono katoa i muri i te Matenga.
Ngā tohu o te Aranga me ō rātou tikanga:
TE HUA
I roto i ngā ahurea maha, ko te hua manu te tohu whānui mō te ora me te whānautanga. Nō reira, ehara i te mea miharo kua whiriwhiria e te tikanga Karaitiana tēnei huānga hei tohu mō te aranga mai o te Karaiti, e hoki mai ana i te hunga mate, e whakaora ana i tōna tinana, engari i runga ake i ngā wairua o te hunga whakapono, kua wetekina i te hara i mahia i te atatu o te wā, i te wā i tangohia ai e Ātama rāua ko Īwa te hua rāhui.
TE KŪKŪ
He taonga tuku iho anō hoki te kukupa nō ngā tikanga Hūrai, kua roa nei e whakamahia ana hei tohu mō te Rangimārie me te Wairua Tapu.
TE RĀPITI
Ko te rāpeti anō hoki, e whakahuatia ana tēnei kararehe orotika i roto i te whakapono Karaitiana, i te tuatahi ko te rāpeti, ā, muri iho ko te rāpeti mā hei tohu mō te hua nui.
He tauira tino tika tā te wiki o te Aranga:
Rāpare: te whakamaharatanga ki te Hākari Whakamutunga i te wā i kōrero ai a Ihu ki ana ākonga ka hohoro ia te tukua, ka whakamatea.
I tēnei wā i horoia e Ihu ngā waewae o āna Āpotoro, hei tohu whakaiti (he mahi e whakanuia ana i roto i ngā hāhi me te kawa o te 'Horoi Waewae').
Paraire: Te mamae me te mate i runga i te ripeka.
Ka hoki whakamuri te hunga whakapono ki ngā āhuatanga katoa i puta i te wā o te ripekanga.
Rāhoroi: Te Mīha me te tangihanga mō te matenga o te Karaiti
Rātapu: Te Aranga me ngā whakanuinga
Ko te Mane o te Aranga, ko te 'Mane o te Āngera' rānei, e whakanui ana i te anahera kerupa nana i kauwhau te Aranga mai o te Atua i mua i te urupā.
Kāore i whakaaetia wawetia tēnei hararei, engari i tāpirihia i Itari i muri i te pakanga hei 'whakaroa' i ngā whakanuinga o te Aranga.
