I propose here, on Flickr, a photographic story, with descriptive text, of a traditional Sicilian popular festival that is always highly anticipated, it takes place in the town of Fiumedinisi (Messina), in the last 18 years what is called the "Great Feast" has been celebrated only 3 times, always on the second Sunday of August, it was celebrated in 2007, in 2016, this year 2025, in all three editions I took photographs, those that I now present are almost all of the "Great Feast" of this year 2025. The town of Fiumedinisi is inextricably linked to her patron saint, Our Lady of the Annunciation, every year a traditional procession is held on March 24th and 25th, on the 24th the procession is made by the faithful on their knees, they carry a large lit candle with which they help themselves to support themselves, it takes place along a straight path in what is called "street of float" (it joins two churches), the next day there is another traditional procession, the two "Sacred Float," that of the Our Lady of the Annunciation and that of the Archangel Gabriel, are carried on the shoulders, followed by the faithful, through the narrow streets of the town. Then comes the "Great Feast" in August, also linked to the Annunciation, which occurs every year after many years. It is on Christmas Eve that it is announced whether that year will be the year of the Great Feast. At Christmas, "the Son of Man" is born, incarnated in Mary's womb. It is the Archangel Gabriel who announces to Mary the conception of the Son of the Most High. The iconography of the Sacred Representations depicts him kneeling before her, offering her a lily, a symbol of Mary's purity. The "Great Feast" in August has ancient origins dating back to the 16th century, the period of Spanish rule in Sicily. It was initially celebrated on March 25th, the religious feast of the Annunciation of the Lord. Later, towards the end of the 19th century, it was moved to August to allow the many emigrants from all over the world to attend. In short, the "Great Feast" includes a "morning procession" led by three young men who will impersonate the three main characters on the "living float"—the Mary, the Archangel Gabriel, and the Eternal Father. Around 11:00 a.m., the "Great Living Float," a very heavy object carried on shoulders, will make its first journey along the "street of float" (the one traveled on one's knees in March, but also on the eve of the Great Feast) with the barefoot bearers in ordinary clothing. In the afternoon, many boys and girls dressed as angels take their places on special seats on the "Great Living Float", the "three characters" (the Mary, the Archangel Gabriel, and the "Eternal Father" at the top) take their places. Now the Great Float will make the same journey in reverse, carried on the shoulders of devotee-bearers dressed entirely in white, barefoot, thus arriving in the square in front of the church-sanctuary dedicated to Maria SS Annunziata. Once the journey has finished and the Float has been placed on the ground, the ceremony includes, and ends, with an ancient dialect song sung by the children, with microphones, who dress up as Mary and the Archangel Gabriel. A curiosity, this "Great Float", an enormous metal and wood structure, extremely heavy, requires perfect coordination between the bearers. It is essential to raise and lower it in perfect synchrony, with all its "inhabitants" atop it. It is therefore crucial to avoid any oscillations that would be transmitted to the children seated at various heights, and to the Eternal Father, seated very high up. The moments preceding the float's departure, and those following its arrival, are of great concentration, silence is absolute, the launch occurs at the third blow of the hammer, all the devotee-bearers rise in perfect synchrony and "the magic comes to life"...! The Great Machine travels the "street of float" upon its arrival, there is maximum silence, and at the third blow of the hammer the devotee-bearers lower themselves, placing the incredible Living Float on the ground, renewing before our eyes an event of beauty and absolute wonder, the unique magic of an ancient Sicilian feast tradition.

Propongo qui, su Flickr, un racconto fotografico, con testo descrittivo, di una festa tradizionale popolare siciliana sempre molto attesa, si svolge nel paese di Fiumedinisi (Messina), negli ultimi 18 anni quella che è chiamata la “Festa Grande” si è celebrata solo 3 volte, sempre la seconda domenica di agosto, è stata celebrata nel 2007, nel 2016, quest’anno 2025, in tutte e tre le edizioni ho realizzato fotografie, quelle che ora presento sono quasi tutte della “Festa Grande” di quest’anno 2025. Il paese di Fiumedinisi è indissolubilmente legato alla sua santa patrona, Maria SS. Annunziata, ogni anno si tiene una tradizionale processione il 24 e 25 marzo, il 24 la processione viene fatta dai fedeli in ginocchio, essi recano una grossa candela accesa con la quale si aiutano nel sostenersi, si svolge lungo un percorso rettilineo in quella che è chiamata “strada vara” (unisce due chiese), il giorno dopo si ha un’altra processione, classica, le due “Sacre Vare”, quella di Maria SS. Annunziata e quella dell’Arcangelo Gabriele, vengono portate in spalla, seguite dai fedeli, nelle stradine del paese; poi la “Festa Grande” di agosto, legata anch’essa all’Annunciazione, che avviene ogni volta dopo molti anni: è la notte di Natale che si annuncia se quello sarà l’anno della Festa Grande, a Natale nasce “il Figlio dell’Uomo” incarnatosi nel ventre materno di Maria, è l’Arcangelo Gabriele che annuncia a Maria il concepimento del Figlio dell’Altissimo, l’iconografia delle Sacre Rappresentazioni lo raffigura inginocchiarsi al cospetto di Lei porgendole un giglio, simbolo della purezza di Maria. La “Festa Grande” di agosto ha origini antiche che risalgono al XVI secolo, periodo della dominazione spagnola in Sicilia, essa inizialmente veniva celebrata il 25 marzo, con la ricorrenza religiosa dell’Annunciazione del Signore, successivamente verso la fine del XIX secolo venne spostata ad agosto, per consentire ai molti emigrati, provenienti da ogni dove, di potervi assistere. In maniera sintetica, la “Festa Grande” prevede una “processione mattutina” con in testa i tre ragazzi che impersoneranno sulla “vara vivente” i tre principali personaggi, la Maria, l’Arcangelo Gabriele ed il Padre Eterno; verso le ore 11:00 la “Grande Vara Vivente”, pesantissima, portata in spalla farà un primo viaggio lungo la “strada vara” (quella che viene percorsa in ginocchio a marzo, ma anche la vigilia della Festa Grande) con i portatori scalzi, in abiti comuni; il pomeriggio sulla “Grande Vara Vivente” prendono posto su appositi seggiolini tanti bimbi e bimbe, vestiti da angeli, prendono posto i “tre personaggi” (Maria, l’Arcangelo Gabriele, in alto prende posto il “Padre Eterno”), adesso la Grande Vara farà lo stesso percorso inverso, portata sulle spalle dei devoti-portatori vestiti completamente di bianco, scalzi, così giungendo nella piazza davanti la chiesa-santuario dedicata a Maria SS Annunziata, terminato il percorso e deposta a terra la vara, la cerimonia prevede, e termina, con un antico canto dialettale intonato dai ragazzi, microfonati, che vestono i panni di Maria e dell’Arcangelo Gabriele. Una “curiosità”, questa “Vara Ranni” (dialettalmente, Vara Grande), enorme struttura in metallo e legno, pesantissima, necessita di una perfetta coordinazione tra i portatori, è fondamentale alzarla ed abbassarla in perfetto sincronismo, con sopra tutti i suoi “abitanti”, importantissimo quindi evitare qualsiasi oscillazione che si trasmetterebbe sui bimbi seduti a varie altezze, ed al Padre Eterno, seduto molto in alto: gli attimi che precedono la partenza della vara, e quelli che fanno seguito all’arrivo sono di grande concentrazione, il silenzio è massimo, la partenza avviene al terzo colpo di martello, tutti i devoti-portatori si alzano in perfetta sincronia e “la magia prende vita”…! La Grande Macchina percorre la “strada vara”, al suo arrivo, silenzio massimo, al terzo colpo di martello i devoti-portatori si abbassano deponendo a terra quella incredibile Vara Vivente che rinnova davanti ai nostri occhi un evento fatto di bellezza ed assoluta meraviglia, magia unica di una antica tradizione popolare Siciliana.

Yesterday found us once again out on the bikes. Hubby has been wanting to do the Gospel Pass ( highest tarmaced road in Wales, only just higher than Bwlch y Groes in North Wales) for a long time. So we set out later than planned (thanks to a busy week having caught up with me) to Llanvihengel Crucorney from whence we started the ride.
He had looked at the route beforehand and had told me that it was flat for miles and then there was the gospel pass to climb and then down hill. Somehow, probably because we were busy chatting in the lanes we missed a turning but we were blissfully unaware of this until the road just slowly but surely started to incline. It just got steeper and steeper and then would undulate a little before once again ramping up again. We did realise that we must have been on the wrong path, but the lanes were so quiet that we opted to continue on this route rather than go back and try to find the correct route.
By the time we found the signpost for Capel-y-Ffin we had done a significant amount of climbing and had just dropped down a lovely hill too in, as otherwise you'll think we were trying to ascend Everest here in Wales!
The Gospel Pass itself then didn't feel too bad from a climbing point of view as there had been steeper climbs earlier.
The remoteness and sheer beauty of the climb was truly stunning. As you can see it was overcast and did throw some rain drops, but not enough to hinder us.
The Gospel Pass is named thus as early Christians used this route to get to different communities in centuries gone by.
The open scenes of an American Werewolf in London were also filmed up here.
A truly fabulous day out, we've said that we'll go back again to do this ride again, but might just make sure we start with the flatter route next time!
Thanks for stopping
An open bedrock bluff top was perennially painted "John 3:16" prompting the locals to name the site Gospel Rock. It is considered a special place on BC's Sunshine Coast because of its unique environment and impressive views.
This is just one of those places that you discover something new every time you go, and the place just keeps calling you back... and then rewards you for coming. I had never even noticed this organ before. I had to climb over piles of chairs to get to it.
This is a minor road through the Black Mountains in south east Wales. At left is Twmpa a.k.a. Lord Hereford's Knob.

Clip | Gospel Movie | "The Gospel Messenger" (1) - What Did the Lord Jesus Mean When He Said "It Is Finished" on the Cross?
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/gospel-messenger-movie-1/
Introduction
Many people in the religious world think: "The Lord Jesus saying on the cross 'It is finished' proves that God's Work of saving mankind was finished. Simply by believing in the Lord, we are forgiven of sin, justified by faith, and saved by grace. When the Lord comes, He will bring us up into the kingdom of heaven. He can't possibly do any more work of salvation." Is this view in line with the facts of God's work?

The Evangelical Church, Bakewell. A nice plain and simple building , very Derbyshire, very white peak with its limestone walls and gritstone corners. Standing at the top of North Church Street, at the corner with Bagshaw Hill, lronic that the street name refers to All Saints Parish Church , the Cof E church 200 yards away. This church is furthest up the hill, is that a status thing,😞 only the Catholic church is at the bottom of the hill, almost directly below this .
All Saints parish church is obviously the largest, and oldest, although I supose it could be argued it started out as Catholic. The Methodist Church is across town off Matlock Street on Chapel Row, with the Quakers, Friends Meeting House just behind.
Makes me think, HE has so many houses, of so many shades, nice that he's started sharing a few of them .
Merely musing not trying to make any point, before i get shot down for causing offence.
Un Gospel che può essere gioioso come potete vedere nella foto allegata.

This traditional Rose Window at the rear of the chapel at the Mount Royal Hospital is quite beautiful. You can actually see the two rose crosses at the top and the bottom. It might also be called a "Gospels Window".
In the centre is Christ the King, flanked on each side with the Greek letters "alpha" and "omega". This comes from the verse in the Book of Revelation 22:13, the great chapter where Christ is finally revealed in his full glory at the End of Time, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." This reflects orthodox Christian theology which sees Christ (in John's Gospel also known as The Logos or Word) as eternally pre-existing time.
The four canonical Gospels which tell his story are Matthew, Mark (the earliest version), Luke and John. These four canonical Gospels (accepted by AD381 at the Council of Constantinople) are not the only ones; "The Gospel of Thomas" is probably the most famous reject owing to its considered "Gnostic" elements. But the primary reason for only allowing four Gospels in the official text of the New Testament had to do with completeness. For example the "four winds of the earth", "north, south, east and west", the four sides of a square. This was a concept long considered a mark of perfection in Greek mythology.
Anyone know who these people are, or when the original picture was taken? I think they're a gospel group associated with Covina Assembly of God in California. 1940s? 1950s? Or maybe they just performed at Covina. Possible names -- Tommy Barnett; Tommy Anderson.

Gospel Movie Clip "The Gospel Messenger" (3) - How Pastors and Elders Treat the Return of the Lord
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/gospel-messenger-movie-3/
Introduction
The Lord has returned in the last days, uttering many truths and doing the work of judgment. It should stand to reason that since pastors and elders serve the Lord, are so well-versed in the Bible, and frequently interpret it for others, they should be able to recognize the coming of the Lord and be able to lead believers to welcome Him. But how do these pastors and elders actually treat the return of the Lord?

The Black Mountains, Wales. A wonderful single-track road that runs for miles between two Black Mountains ridges south from Hay-on-Wye.
Buckna Gospel Hall in County Antrim next to Slemish mountain. This is the Irish bible belt. Ballymena, the main local town, is often known as the buckle in the bible belt and the hamlet of Buckna must be the hole in the buckle.
The Gospel Halls represent a theologically conservative strand of the Open Brethren who are evangelical and dispensationalist.
Aside from its natural beauty, Slemish's value as a heritage site is entirely bound up with its association with Saint Patrick. In local tradition, the mountain was the site of the saint's slavery, where he spent 6 years herding livestock for Mulchi, the local chieftain.
Slemish rises to a height of 437 metres asl, with considerable prominence over the surrounding terrain.
