seven-seven: The festival of penance

di Luca Iuliani

Se non si può affermare con certezza che i Riti Settennali di Penitenza in onore Assumption of the Virgin have their origins in Sanframondi Guard in the seventeenth century, certainly the Council of Trent (1545-1563) and "preaching" of the different religious orders that followed to assert and defend the dogmas of the Catholic Church, are believed to be elements founding of these processions. They took the lead suffering, only then, a rigid structure liturgical convinced a spiritual force.

Even today, the historical research has failed to date the beginning of this penitential processions that every seven years, structuring and providing unique in the world now, si rinnovano a Guardia Sanframondi, in provincia di Benevento, un centro sannita noto anche per le sue specificità urbanistiche e le ricchezze storiche ed architettoniche. Numerose sono le ipotesi, ma la documentazione certa per datarle definitivamente manca.

Antropologi e sociologi, le fanno risalire ad antichi riti pagani per la fertilizzazione delle terre; alcuni ricercatori locali le datano a momenti di dure contestazioni contro il feudatario (sec. XV); altri al movimento dei Disciplinati di Ranieri Fasani che da Perugia (1260) invase l'Europa invitando il mondo cristiano alla penitenza corporale. Il popolo guardiese le ha sempre vissute con una fede profonda e le ha volute ogni qualvolta le necessità lo imponevano: when we had to ask for heavenly intervention for various material needs: famine, pestilence, drought, floods, earthquakes ... . There are many historical evidences in this regard: May 17, 1736 were held "in thanksgiving for the desired rain", June 2, 1739 "because of the need for rain" in 1743 "to break free from frost; May 13 1763 "to have a good time and to end the famine; March 16, 1800" for the rain suverchio.

Only in the last century has radicalized the seven-year intervals, a symbolic, sacred to the Jewish and Catholic.

To date these processions, which are renewed every seven years in the heyday seem to me two important elements: the "missions" that the Fathers of the Society of Jesus organized throughout the Kingdom of Naples (XVII) and the presence of the Confraternity of the Assumption (the Coven Red) Archconfraternity subsidiary of the Banner of Rome, soon died out 40 years ago. The preaching of the Jesuits, collected by P. Scipione Paolucci (1651), the structure of the weekly processions, in the types of devotees participating in the forms of penance, in the style of preaching aimed at all for a successful "conversion" accurately reflect what today is the increased visibility and vitality of the seven Rites of Sanframondi Guard, their most immediate and poignant message: the need to repent and convert the message Gospel of Jesus The presence in the country of the Brotherhood, then, what is certain, as certain is the affiliation of one of them Archconfraternity Roman Banner. Just in the crypt under the altar of the Shrine of the Assumption, where there is a niche that holds the wooden statue of the Virgin carried in procession every seven years, the brothers its affiliates avevano la loro sede. Qui si riunivano e, settimanalmente, secondo il loro statuto, facevano pubblici atti di penitenza corporale, con catene di ferro, cilizi o altri strumenti. La pala dell'altare centrale di questa cripta, realizzata dal maestro Cesare Japoce nel 1730, ben raffigura i penitenti incappucciati, in camice bianco, con funi e strumenti di penitenza, in ginocchio davanti alla Madre Celeste.

Questo concetto di penitenza, ancora oggi è chiaramente esplicitato in tutte le processioni rionali dell'Assunta, sia quelle "di Penitenza" e sia quelle "di Comunione", attraverso numerosi simboli: le funi intrecciate sul petto, le croci nude, le corone di spine on the head, the sermons of the fathers, flagellates and blood flying in hooded, the Mysteries, the choirs of the four districts (Cross, Portella Fountain and Piazza).

The Feast of the Assumption of Sanframondi Guard, which is just Day of Penance, has managed to survive for the complex and deeply rooted religious, cultural and social underpinning. The survey can be neither simple nor one-sided and perhaps become, over time, more and more complex.

Tiffany Towers Hawaii

approved the reform of the school should question

Yesterday Gelmini reform was, as expected, approved by the Council of Ministers. It comes into force this year in the first classes of the new system. I will not dwell on what I said before the reform, I put in my place instead a form of civil resistance. Cutting back on hours, even in classes not under the reform, the success of the Head of the Government that kids today are not able to withstand several hours of school work challenging (or spoiled idiots, literally limping, senza bastone; e ha ragione, dato che anche il governo si impegna a privarli del sostegno indispensabile di una buona educazione)oppongo su questo blog una serie di interventi complessi, adatti a tanti studenti che conosco e rivolti a chiunque abbia il tempo e il desiderio di meditare/medicare (e perdonatemi la fissazione sull'etimologia, il fatto è che la parola è un condensato di storia e di civiltà, non è stata inventata, nè sempre utilizzata per ingannare o imbonire le masse).

Scrive Roberto Mussapi, (22 gennaio 2010, 20° anniversario della morte di Giorgio Caproni, da Avvenire )

Giorgio Caproni con forza straordinaria seppe fare musica dal dolore della seconda guerra mondiale. It was the war, was the dark shape the sound of his magnificent poem, those years of darkness and pain I made a rough voice, forged what would become an ongoing and changing Cello Concerto (Bach), a sound of ' arc cutting and deep silence. What other music ever, Caproni's voice has none of the music of southern figure, happy and beautiful of his contemporaries (Quasimodo, Gatto), which by nature is inseparable from melancholy. Caproni does not exist in the realm of melancholy, but rather the reality of a vibrant and constantly on pain. Burning, scraping, his poetry. With the unique and harsh language of subliminal sweetness wrote a great book about those incessant John Raboni be identified by its three themes: the city, the journey, the mother. A complete and absolute triad: the mother refers to the origin and woman to the place where the city consist of the theater world, the journey to nature perpetually mobile, curious man. In this sense (...) his book was the magnificent myth Passing Aeneas, written between 1943 and 1955, where the figure of Aeneas, the traveler exile, appears as a shadow in the city of Genoa, where he moved Caproni 10 years and loved always, physically living there, then moved to Rome, as a picture of happiness hit and lost. The funicular, the charm of a city always uphill, the anxiety of the traveler that moves among the shadows of the port, creating one of the greatest books of the Italian poetry of the twentieth century. A book of overall travel time between human and oltretempo, suspended on the funicular as poised between the sky and gravity, into the mists of a port on which lie outward and docks.

III Epilogue by The passage of Aeneas

felt the crunch,
in the dark, my shoes felt
almost buried a rhodium

moles on his face, but I felt
already close air
the breath of the sea .

It was a night of darkness, it seems to me
Pegli, or Sestri.

I had left Genoa on foot, and fresh blood in my grudges

burned, as love.

M'approssimavo
feeling the sea destroying the shoes peeping from
:
already heard of boats

off a smell of tar and night
the rinsing, but also
already feeling the sun, broken, my ribs
, white.

I had reached the sand, but without
have more vigor.
Maybe it was the weight in the shoes of
'water of my years.

Geoffrey Beene Tie Chain



What about the draft reform of the Italian upper secondary school in the approval process and definition, programs and hours, by a majority of government? What about the reduction of hours in the various school levels, under the pretense of simplifying (?) the path of learning "superior" and the unspoken but obvious desire to "make money", to the detriment of the effective operation of the school, the dignity of teachers and their expectations of work to the expense of the thickness of the formation of students, deprived even before the actual resources, in terms of timing, methods, content and structure, and intended, hence a little, to resign by law to a ratio teachers / pupils in a 30/35?
What do parents think?
Why everything is quiet and does not arrange a real movement of civil resistance, strong and determined to claim respect for the Constitution?

Article 1 - Italy is a democratic republic, founded on work. The sovereignty belongs to the people and is exercised in the manner and within the limits of the Constitution.

Italian Constitution, founded on work and workers, not managers and politicians, on the inalienable rights, including training, on which citizens participate and build their future, supported and guaranteed by the democratic state. But it is still a democratic state our own?

Italian citizens, with or without work, they can defend the rights proclaimed in the Charter? They know how to defend themselves by claiming political parasitism cuts and sacrifices to the detriment of the weakest (see children and young people with no access to education Private fee) and not significant program cuts costs of the machine of politics? They know how to recognize and reject the populist propaganda?

Article 3-All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions.
is the duty of the Republic to remove obstacles to economic and social nature which constrain the freedom and equality of citizens, prevent the full development of the human person and the effective participation of all workers in the political, economic and social development of the country.

Where are now the equal social equality without distinctions of all citizens before the law?
Does anyone know how to make effective the removal of barriers to economic and social barriers that currently reported as a result of the global crisis, we and our children to reduce the rank of terrified sheep and devoted to the heads? Perhaps you should reform this article by adding to "remove obstacles to economic and social order", "the obstacles to political and criminal" that constrain and so on.

Article 9-The Republic promotes the development of culture and scientific and technical research.
Protecting the landscape and the historical and artistic heritage of the nation. If you demolish

la scuola come centro e laboratorio di formazione (in essa ci sono ancora reali eccellenze, come ci sono guasti da controllare rigorosamente e da eliminare), quale “sviluppo della cultura, della ricerca”, quale “difesa dell’ambiente” si possono promuovere?
E per l’ambiente, se non c’è un’inversione di tendenza rispetto al “tutto e subito” dell’edonismo imperante, del feticismo degli oggetti indotto dal mercato attraverso il dominio degli spot, quale ritorno alle attività produttive non finalizzate allo spreco, al consumo irrazionale, all’inquinamento, ma aderenti ai bisogni e alle vocazioni di ciascun territorio, potrà esserci?
L’agricoltura quality enhancement of the work of the real market, scientific research on innovative materials and energy today are not only possible, but there are already defined as areas of excellence, which relies on highly qualified personnel. The industries that chokes, and ugly tie up our cities can be converted into an acceptable period of time.
is possible to build new jobs, if you have the courage to step up the level of training to build a more livable and less corrupt, and even to design a Europe of peoples and of justice. But, as a project, from the earliest years of life of citizens, which school?
