Bible verse
1 Corinthians 10:13
" No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it ."
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Too bad to keep the heads under the sand and live in great pretence that nothing will happen
and think it's the same as any other time ; watch football and all crappy mind numbing
entertainments on TV as if nothing gonna happen . It's denial galore , a wrong coping
mechanism to take on when its time to realize and prepare. With all the changing
dymanics of the world today , it's foreseeable what is coming and don't even see the
horrors that will come to them. Purely trusting the manipulative mainstream media
of lies .... seal the brains and close the
eyes until the SHTF!
Talks of Earth Changes, Comets, Solar Weather, Agenda 21, Monsanto , coming massive
California Earthquake etc...
This isn't fear mongering but as way of encouragment not through fear but of the love
of God, ok ;)
I was criticized also by another christian for making this stand of giving emphases of scary news
around the world, but should I just let it pass and not give warnings to those who are sleeping.
As a christian we should encouraged one another, give warnings even so to get as many ready
for the coming of our Lord savior , Jesus Christ.
.
This is just as form of encouragement to everyone for whoever may come across
this post flickr or non-flickrenos who may just stumble on this post .
It's time to get close to God, be born-again in Christ
get your lives ready as things are reeling into the perilous time for Tribulation.
I do believe personally we are in times of the birth pangs due to one confirming
bizarre experience I had in 2011.
Be ready in Christ and seek Him .
For people who don't believe rather see this as ridiculous, I can't do anything .
This is only sharing . I knew there are people who hates my post esp labelling me as too religious.
No I'm not religious, I don't attach myself to a religion . I attach myself to Christ, that's all.
I should be enjoying photography , without involvement of " religious "stuffs or talking about God
on my post .However I was convicted by the Lord in this borrowed time, that I should be making this useful photography corner on the web to share the love of God and the message of Salvation.
Christians should let their light of Christ shine in this dark world. Glorifying God in all you do, not
to please people of different religious beliefs by being neutral to all religions in all your posts, hiding the light of Christ and conforming to the world so many will accept you, it's giving compromise to faith of Christ . In this borrowed time Christians should share and the love of Christ so many will know.
I've done my part for flckr. I am also working for the Lord in my extra personal time apart from work
, with intention of spreading the gospel . Part of my income I gave away for the love of God , some are given for the needy back in the Philippines for food of people who can't eat 3x day meal. I have monthly commitment for Lord for this purpose . I'm more touched in giving to old people and widows with many children , those who are weak , no income ,
no pension or social welfare from the government. It's really difficult life out there if one has nothing
to fall on .
Oh we should not tell people --- but this is the word of encouragement
for people who are close to the Lord, do something in your own community,
in your own place to help the weak
or where your heart goes as the lord will bless you back.
Proverbs 19:17
"He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he has
given will he pay him again."
2 Corinthians 9:6
"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever
sows generously will also reap generously."
Matthew 25:40
"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Store your resources in heaven where no one would steal. God will make rewards back -
when you help others in dire need, in name of Christ , God has kept records of what youve done.
But don't expect to turn as rich as as Donald Trump . Don't set your hearts over riches in this world.
God bless.

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

St. Louis Union Station is a National Historic Landmark train station in St. Louis, Missouri. At its 1894 opening, the station was the largest in the world that had tracks and passenger service areas all on one level. Traffic peaked at 100,000 people a day the 1940s. The last passenger train left the station in 1978.
In the 1980s, it was renovated as a hotel, shopping center, and entertainment complex. The 2010s and 2020s saw more renovation and expansion of entertainment and office capacity.
An adjacent station serves the light-rail MetroLink Red and Blue Lines, which run under the station in the Union Station subway tunnel. The city's intercity train station sits a quarter-mile to the south, serving MetroLink, Amtrak, and Greyhound Bus.

Tell Congress to increase funding for global clean water
Safe drinking water is essential for human health and economic development. But one in eight people (884 million) around the world live without safe drinking water and two in five (2.5 billion) do not have adequate toilets. Every day 4,500 children in developing countries die from diarrheal disease due to dirty water.
Simple low-cost solutions for clean water and safe sanitation are among the most effective measures that can be taken to reduce disease and death, especially in children. Moreover, providing safe drinking water and sanitation programs helps meet other international sustainable development goals, including education, food security and lessening the impact of climate change.
Passed in 2005, the Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act has expanded U.S. activities in water and sanitation. Last year, Congress appropriated $315 million for the implementation of safe drinking water and sanitation projects. While progress has been made, more funds are still needed to close the gap between the current level of investment and the resources required to reduce the number of people without access to safe water and sanitation. With an increased investment of $500 million per year, the United States could target the places of greatest need and provide permanent solutions to one of the world's worst environmental health problems.

Pastrana y el XI Festival Ducal 2012
La villa alcarreña de Pastrana celebra, del 12 al 15 de julio, una nueva edición de su Festival Ducal, recreando el Siglo de Oro en la Villa.
microVIDEOS www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF345ECD3D510657E
Pastrana se funda en el siglo XIII bajo la dominación de la Orden Religiosa Militar de Calatrava, probablemente como aldea de repoblación tras la expulsión definitiva de los Árabes.
En 1369, se le concede él titulo de Villa. En este mismo período, se construyen su muralla y su iglesia primitiva.
El Rey Carlos I, consigue de los Papas Clemente VII y Paulo III, las bulas necesarias para enajenar bienes de las Ordenes Religiosas Militares y, usando de esta facultad, vende, en 1541, la Villa de Pastrana con los lugares de Escopete y Sayatón a Doña Ana de la Cerda, condesa de Mélito y viuda de Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Es esta primera Señora de Pastrana la que comienza la construcción del conocido Palacio Ducal. Muerta Doña Ana, pasa el señorío a sus hijos D. Gaspar Gastón y D. Baltasar Gastón, los cuales venden estas propiedades en 1569 a los Príncipes de Éboli, Ruy Gómez de Silva, consejero, valido y amigo personal de Felipe II y la célebre Doña Ana de Mendoza y de la Cerda. Posteriormente estos obtienen del Rey el título de Duques de Pastrana.
Con los primeros Duques, llega para Pastrana su época de gran esplendor, ya que éstos realizan grandes obras en la Villa. En 1569, mandan llamar a Santa Teresa de Jesús con el fin de fundar un convento de Carmelitas Descalzas, creando el de San José para mujeres y el de San Pedro (hoy del Carmen) para hombres. En 1570, traen un numeroso grupo de moriscos expulsados de las Alpujarras de Granada para trabajar la seda y levantar una de las fábricas de tapicería más prestigiosas de España durante los Siglos XVI y XVII. Más tarde, los Duques completan su obra ascendiendo la iglesia parroquial a Colegiata, dotándola de un Cabildo de 48 Canónigos, que superaba en número a todas las Catedrales de España, excepto a la Catedral Primada de Toledo.
Muerto Ruy Gómez, en 1573, la Princesa de Éboli ingresa en el Convento de San José, incumpliendo reiteradamente la regla Carmelitana. Poco después, Felipe II le ordena que abandone el convento para ocuparse de su patrimonio y de su familia. En 1576, regresa a Madrid, como una de las damas más acaudaladas y respetadas de la Corte. Allí inicia una vida inquieta, y por sus intrigas en la Corte con Antonio Pérez, Secretario de Felipe II, es detenida en 1579. Es encerrada en la torre de Pinto, a los pocos meses en el castillo de Santorcaz, donde se reunirá con sus hijos y finalmente es traída a su propio palacio en Pastrana, de donde no saldría hasta su muerte en 1592. Sus restos se conservan actualmente en la Cripta de la Iglesia-Colegiata de esta Villa Ducal.
El claustro y la iglesia del Convento del Carmen (fundado por santa Teresa de Jesús, a instancias de la princesa de Éboli, en 1569) albergan dos Museos bien distintos: el Museo Teresiano, también llamado Museo Carmelitano y de Arte Sacro, y el Museo de Historia Natural de Filipinas, conocido popularmente como Museo de Ciencias.
La Colección dedicada a Santa Teresa y San Juan de la Cruz ocupa el claustro de la planta baja y la iglesia del convento. Se creó en 1991, con motivo del IV centenario de la muerte de san Juan de la Cruz, y recoge documentos sobre éstos y una serie de siete grandes óleos que narran la llegada de Santa Teresa de Jesús a Pastrana en 1569 y la fundación de los conventos.
Además, encontramos numerosas obras del siglo XVII, como las pinturas de Alonso de Arco, Regino Páramo, Luca Giordano, Juan Carreño de Miranda; la colección de retratos realizados por maestros de la escuela madrileña; o importantes esculturas como el Cristo de la Verdad de Gregorio Fernández.
En el Museo de Ciencias Naturales, que ocupa el claustro superior del edificio conventual, se podrá deleitar con una rica variedad de fauna de las islas Filipinas. Destaca la magnífica colección de conchas de moluscos, con más de 1500 especies distintas expuestas; la de aves cuenta con más de 400 ejemplares. Pueden verse también espectaculares especímenes de mamíferos y reptiles, sin olvidarnos de peces, crustáceos, esponjas, corales, etc.
Su origen data de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, cuando comenzó a formarse una amplísima colección de fauna filipina gracias a la labor del franciscano fray Marcelino Sánchez, misionero en Filipinas. Durante la insurrección y guerra de 1898 en Filipinas, el museo sufrió graves destrozos, por lo que se decidió su traslado a España. Los fondos llegaron al Convento de Pastrana, donde permanecen desde hace un siglo. Una abundante representación de los fondos de este Museo fue expuesta en la Exposición Universal de Barcelona de 1929.

Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, sino también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

Ames High School class of 1978 40-year post reunion summary
The 40th reunion was so fun !! The class of 1978 is quickly becoming one of the most connected classes out of all the Alumni classes at AHS, as approximately 102 1978 classmates met and re-connected on Friday Sep 28 2018 at North Cyde restaurant in North Ames, Iowa.
Saturday, September 29 we all toured the High School then 100+ classmates met again later that day at the American Legion on Main street for a banquet, group photos, a short program and then another wonderfully enchanted evening of re-connecting with old friends. It was so much fun to see classmates we had not seen for so long, in some cases not since AHS days 40 years ago. We all have journeyed 40 years to get back together again. Ever so special to have friends that span most, if not all of your life, especially after 40 plus years. Then we shed a tear and said our goodbyes and we hope to see you again soon, maybe in 5 years.

Favnae insectorvm Germanicae initia, oder, Deutschlands Insecten
Nürnberg :In den Felseckerschen Buchhandlung,1796-1813.
I played hooky today and spent the day with the inventor of the egg carton and refrigerator shipping (the same great lady!), the creator of Thanksgiving and Mary Had a Little Lamb (the same lady!), a signer of The Declaration of Independence, the voice of the Phillies, an Arctic explorer, Titanic victims and many many more! I spent the day at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. A cemetery on my visit wish list! One more off the list! I got to half of it. HALF! I missed some major monuments, but there was just no time! If you enjoy Victorian art, you must visit this cemetery…it’s more art garden than graveyard. So pick a nice day…bring along a picnic basket and make the day of it.
Laurel Hill Cemetery is a great cemetery. It would be a great thing if all cemeteries could be like Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, PA. They get the community involved by having fun events (not just tours) in the cemetery itself. Folktales, music, balls, banquets…all in the cemetery. It’s exactly what the founders wanted. A city park that is open for all. There just happens to be people buried there, that’s all!
The following info was taken from www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org If you live in the Philadelphia area and have not checked out the great events at the cemetery, you must do so!
Picnics, strolls, carriage rides and sightseeing were popular pastimes in Laurel Hill’s early days, when “nearly 30,000 persons…entered the gates between April and December, 1848.” The site continues to remain a favored retreat for tourists, joggers, bicyclists, nature lovers, sketch artists and amateur photographers.
Laurel Hill is one of the few cemeteries in the nation to be honored with the designation of National Historic Landmark, a title received in 1998. Numerous prominent people are buried at the Cemetery, including many of Philadelphia’s leading industrial magnates. Names such as Rittenhouse, Widener, Elkins and Strawbridge certainly pique local interests, but Laurel Hill also appeals to a national audience. General Meade and thirty-nine other Civil War-era generals reside here, in addition to six Titanic passengers. As in its earliest days, Laurel Hill’s natural beauty and serenity continue to render it a bucolic retreat nestled within the city’s limits overlooking the Schuylkill River. This beautiful green space is further complemented by the breathtaking art, sculpture and architecture that can be found here. These are just some of the many attributes that render Laurel Hill Cemetery a primary destination for local and national visitors to the City of Brotherly Love.
Picnics, strolls, carriage rides and sightseeing were popular pastimes in Laurel Hill’s early days, when “nearly 30,000 persons…entered the gates between April and December, 1848.” The site continues to remain a favored retreat for tourists, joggers, bicyclists, nature lovers, sketch artists and amateur photographers.
History
In late 1835, John Jay Smith, a Quaker and librarian, recorded in his diary: “The City of Philadelphia has been increasing so rapidly of late years that the living population has multiplied beyond the means of accommodation for the dead…on recently visiting Friends grave yard in Cherry Street I found it impossible to designate the resting place of a darling daughter, determined me to endeavor to procure for the citizens a suitable, neat and orderly location for a rural cemetery.”
Smith’s very personal experience ultimately had very public implications, as less than one year later, this grieving father founded Laurel Hill Cemetery with partners Nathan Dunn, Benjamin W. Richards and Frederick Brown. When Smith conceived of Laurel Hill, he envisioned something fundamentally different from the burial places that came before it, and the site has continued to hold an important place of distinction as one of the first cemeteries of its kind. Key concepts to Laurel Hill’s founding were that it had to be situated in a picturesque location well outside the city; that it had no religious affiliation; and that it provided a permanent burial space for the dead in a restful and tranquil setting.
A visit to the National Trust owned Flatford Mill in Suffolk.
Flatford Mill is a Grade I listed watermill on the River Stour at Flatford in East Bergholt, Suffolk, England. According to the date-stone the mill was built in 1733, but some of the structure may be earlier. Attached to the mill is a 17th-century miller's cottage which is also Grade I listed. The property is in Dedham Vale, a typically English rural landscape.
The mill was owned by the artist John Constable's father and is noted, along with its immediate surroundings as the location for many of Constable's works. It is referred to in the title of one of his most iconic paintings, Flatford Mill (Scene on a Navigable River), and mentioned in the title or is the subject of several others including: Flatford Mill from a lock on the river Stour; Flatford Mill from the lock (A water mill); The Lock. The Hay Wain, which features Willy Lott's Cottage, was painted from the front of the mill.
The mill is located downstream from Bridge Cottage which, along with neighbouring Valley Farm and Willy Lott's Cottage, are leased to the Field Studies Council, a group that uses them as locations for arts, ecology and natural history based courses.
After the guided tour had ended, we walked a little bit beyond Flatford Lock.

family house in the village centre was not built until 1779 (Jennings). The latter
was sold after the death of Golding Constable, father of John, in the early C19 and
Abram and Mary, John's brother and sister, returned to this house. The Grade I
status reflects its significance in the life and work of John Constable. Leased
by the National Trust to the Field Studies Council.

Interior view of rotunda Capitol building of Puerto Rico
For Puerto Ricans, El Capitolio de Puerto Rico stands as a powerful symbol of self-government. Former resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico Luis Muñoz Rivera promoted the idea of constructing a capitol building as early as 1907; later he was the prime mover in seeking the capitol building's construction between 1925 and 1929. The dome, however, was not completed until 1961. Although Puerto Rican architect Rafael Carmoega designed this magnificent Neoclassical Revival style building, many other famous Puerto Rican artists--Rafael Rios Rey, José Oliver, Jorge Rechani and Rafael Tufiño and others--collaborated on the capitol's interior design, which is highlighted by murals and mosaics depicting Puerto Rico's history.

---quotation from en.wikipedia.org:---
The Lübeck Cathedral (German: Dom zu Lübeck, or colloquially Lübecker Dom) is a large brick Lutheran cathedral in Lübeck, Germany and part of Lübeck's world heritage. It was started in 1173 by Henry the Lion as a cathedral for the Bishop of Lübeck. It was partly destroyed in a bombing raid in World War II (1942), and later reconstructed. The organ by Arp Schnitger was lost in the fire. The current church was finished in 1982.
It is also famous for works of Bernt Notke and Thomas Quellinus, which survived the bombing raid in 1942. The famous altar by Hans Memling is now in Lübeck's St. Annen Museum.

---quotation from whc.unesco.org:---
Lübeck – the former capital and Queen City of the Hanseatic League – was founded in the 12th century and prospered until the 16th century as the major trading centre for northern Europe. It has remained a centre for maritime commerce to this day, particularly with the Nordic countries. Despite the damage it suffered during the Second World War, the basic structure of the old city, consisting mainly of 15th- and 16th-century patrician residences, public monuments (the famous Holstentor brick gate), churches and salt storehouses, remains unaltered.

Le Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame est un musée de Strasbourg consacré à l'art plastique et aux arts décoratifs des territoires du Rhin supérieur (Alsace, Pays de Bade, Suisse rhénane, Palatinat) depuis le haut Moyen Âge jusqu’à l’annexion de l’Alsace à la France, en 1681. Il se situe dans le bâtiment historique de la Fondation de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame, chargée de l’entretien de la cathédrale de Strasbourg, à côté du Palais des Rohan. Le Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame est célèbre pour ses riches collections d’éléments architecturaux, d’œuvres d’art (statues, retables, tapisseries), de plans originaux et de vitraux provenant de la cathédrale et de nombreuses autres églises de la région, ainsi que pour son riche ensemble de peintures de Konrad Witz, Hans Baldung et Sébastien Stoskopff. Il présente en outre un jardinet contenant des plantes médicinales utilisées à l’époque.
Le musée est abrité dans un ensemble de maisons datant de la même époque que les objets de sa collection. Celle de gauche, à pignons en simples gradins, d’architecture gothique, est la plus ancienne, datant de 1347, celle de droite, à pignon à volutes, d’architecture Renaissance, date quant à elle de 1579. À l’arrière, deux autres maisons du XIVe siècle et XVIIe siècle complètent l’ensemble.
Appelée Frauenhaus (maison de Notre-Dame), elle est le bureau et la demeure du receveur de l’œuvre Notre-Dame et dont les revenus (ainsi que ceux du conseil de fabrique de la cathédrale) servent exclusivement à la restauration de la cathédrale de Strasbourg
Outre les peintres Witz, Baldung et Stoskopff, les sculpteurs Ivo Strigel et Nicolas Gerhaert de Leyde, le maître verrier Peter Hemmel d’Andlau, le musée présente de nombreux artistes anonymes issus notamment de l’école ou de l’entourage de Martin Schongauer et du « Maître du jardinet de paradis ». À côté des œuvres issues de la cathédrale de Strasbourg (sculptures, vitraux, etc.), le musée présente d’importants vestiges d’églises strasbourgeoises disparues ou transformées, telle l’ancienne église des Dominicains, actuel Temple Neuf (bombardée en 1870), l’église Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux (transformé à partir de 1867) et l’église Sainte-Madeleine (mutilée par un incendie en 1904 et bombardée en 1944). De remarquables autres témoignages proviennent des églises gothiques de Wissembourg et Mutzig (vitraux) et de l’église romane d’Eschau (cloître, fonts baptismaux). Des retables, statues, croix processionnelles et tentures offrent un panorama complet de la production artistique dévotionnelle de la région et de cette époque..

Before talking about the procession of the Holy Crucifix of Aracoeli which is held in the town of San Marco d'Alunzio (in the province of Messina), I make a brief introduction, this "photographic story" was created with photographs taken both during the procession of this year 2024, and during the procession of last year 2023, this meant, in some cases, that in some key moments of the procession the shots were taken simultaneously from two different angles, as if I had been in "bilocation", this because this year I chose a different perspective than last year. The procession begins on the morning of the last Friday of March each year, however there is an exception to this rule, when it coincides with Good Friday, which happened this year, then the procession is brought forward to the previous Friday. That of the SS. Crucifix of Aracoeli is an ancient penitential rite, on the day of the feast of the Crucifix in San Marco d'Alunzio the Holy Mass is celebrated in the Church of Aracoeli, therefore the SS. Crucifix (which is found in the church at the end of the right nave, at its feet the picture of the Virgin of Sorrows pierced by seven swords) is removed from the hook on which it is hanging, is taken outside the church, then raised and fixed on the float , and so (after the sermon of the priest who climbed onto the float next to the Crucifix) the Crucifix with the picture of his Sorrowful Mother underneath, then both placed on the float, are carried in procession by the Babbaluti, who proceed invoking the pity and mercy of the Lord with a faint lament that continually repeats “Signuri, Misericordia, Pietà!”. San Marco d'Alunzio is a pleasant town in the Messina area, located in the Nebrodi mountains, in Sicily; the procession takes place in honor of the Holy Crucifix of Araceli, this is a religious-penitential occasion also known as the "procession of the babbaluti", they are those who, by vote or by grace received, have decided to carry during the procession on their shoulders the float with the Crucifix and the painting; they head to the nearby Church of Santa Maria dei Poveri or to some private home nearby where, sheltered from the curiosity of the faithful, they wear a simple but characteristic indigo-coloured cloth habit, consisting of a tunic and a conical-shaped hood such to cover the entire body and leave only the eyes and hands free, it is not uncommon, however, that among the penitents, made anonymous by the habit they wear, there are also women, who, to avoid any possibility of recognition, wear a pair of gloves; the babbaluti are 33 in number to commemorate the 33 years of Christ, the number is odd, in fact the 33rd babbaluto does not wear the float, he (should be the "chief of float") proceeds backwards, turning his gaze to Christ and to His Mother, and at the same time checks that everything is in order among the babbaluti (this is a way of proceeding in carrying the float, which is present in various Sicilian religious processions). Then, the 32 (+1) "babbaluti" carry on their shoulders the launch bearing the Holy Crucifix of the Araceli church (the statue of Christ was created by Scipione Li Volsi, in the year 1652, he was a sculptor and plasterer of the Sicilian Baroque), at whose feet, on the float, the painting of Our Lady of Sorrows is tied, which appears pierced by seven swords (an 18th century painting). Before the start of the procession, the babbaluti advance barefoot wearing only heavy handmade raw wool socks. Before entering the church they must walk a purification path: when they arrive near the ancient church of Araceli , they bend down and kiss the ground, thus receiving permission to enter the church, but this happens from a side door, called "false door" (in Sicilian dialect “porta fausa”), once they enter the church laterally, they now emerge from the main entrance, thus being able to take their places, kneeling at the front and behind, of the float; the priest's long-awaited speech will follow, once finished, the procession can begin which takes place through the streets of the picturesque and welcoming town of San Marco d'Alunzio. Along the route the Babbaluti pace their pace accompanied by the sad and plaintive jugulation that invokes the Lord. There are devout men and women who proceed together with the mugglers, walking alongside the float, touching it, now caressing it... just to have physical (and consequently spiritual) contact with it. Finally, after having completed a specific route, the procession returns to the ancient church (of Norman origins) of Aracoeli. Whenever I am present at this touching occasion I am completely flooded with emotions (which however I cannot abandon myself to, I would lose concentration in taking the photos), the highlight is when the Crucified Christ is removed from the hook fixed on the wall by expert men, and then be carried (seems to float) above the heads of the devotees, supported with their hands, right outside the church, and be hoisted and fixed on the float; in these moments of intense emotion it is common to see in the eyes of the devotees, shining with tears, that profound emotion of their relationship with this Christ, which has always lasted: it is as if they found themselves in the presence of the true Christ, in flesh and blood, this it is the atmosphere you experience in those moments, this is the magic of the procession of the SS. Crucifix and his Mother, represented by the painting of Our Lady of Sorrows pierced by seven swords (iconography of Spanish origin).

Prima di parlare della processione del Santissimo Crocifisso di Aracoeli che si tiene nel paese di San Marco d’Alunzio (in provincia di Messina), faccio una breve premessa, questo “racconto fotografico” è stato realizzato con fotografie scattate sia durante la processione di quest’anno 2024, sia durante la processione dello scorso anno 2023, questo ha comportato, in alcuni casi, che in alcuni momenti salienti della processione gli scatti siano stati realizzati contemporaneamente da due angolazioni diverse, come se io fossi stato in “bilocazione”, questo perché quest’anno ho scelto una prospettiva differente da quella dello scorso anno. La processione inizia la mattina dell’ultimo venerdì del mese di marzo di ogni anno, c’è però una eccezione a questa regola, quando avviene la coincidenza col Venerdì Santo, cosa accaduta quest’anno, allora la processione viene anticipata al venerdì precedente. Quella del SS.Crocifisso di Aracoeli è un antico rito penitenziale, il giorno della festa del Crocifisso a San Marco d'Alunzio viene celebrata la S. Messa nella Chiesa dell'Aracoeli, quindi il SS. Crocifisso (che si trova nella chiesa in fondo alla navata di destra, ai suoi piedi il quadro della Vergine Addolorata. trafitta da sette spade) viene tolto dal gancio sul quale è appeso, viene portato all’esterno della chiesa, quindi innalzato e fissato sulla vara, e così (dopo il sermone del sacerdote salito sulla vara accanto al Crocifisso) il Crocifisso con sotto il quadro di sua Madre Addolorata, quindi messi entrambi sulla vara, vengono portati in processione dai Babbaluti, che procedono invocando la pietà e la misericordia del Signore con un flebile lamento che ripete continuamente “Signuri, Misericordia, Pietà!”. San Marco d’Alunzio è un ameno paese del territorio Messinese, sito sui monti Nebrodi, in Sicilia; la processione si svolge proprio in onore del Santissimo Crocifisso di Araceli, è questa una ricorrenza religioso-penitenziale conosciuta anche come "processione dei babbaluti", essi sono coloro che per voto o per grazia ricevuta, hanno deciso di portare in processione sulle loro spalle il fercolo con il Crocifisso ed il quadro; essi si dirigono nella vicina Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Poveri o in qualche abitazione privata lì vicino dove, al riparo dalla curiosità dei fedeli, indossano un semplice ma caratteristico saio di tela di colore indaco, costituito da una tunica e un cappuccio di forma conica tale da coprire l'intero corpo e lasciare liberi solo gli occhi e le mani, non è raro purtuttavia che tra i penitenti, resi anonimi dal saio che indossano, vi siano anche delle donne, le quali per evitare qualsiasi possibilità di riconoscimento, indossano un paio di guanti; i babbaluti sono in numero di 33 per rievocare i 33 anni di Cristo, il numero è dispari, infatti il 33° babbaluto non porta la vara, egli (dovrebbe essere il “capo vara”) procede all’indietro, rivolgendo lo sguardo al Cristo ed a sua Madre, e nel contempo controlla che tutto sia in ordine tra i babbaluti (questo è un modo di procedere nel portare la vara o fercolo, che è presente in diverse processioni religiose siciliane). Quindi, i 32 (+1) "babbaluti" portano sulle loro spalle la vara che reca il Santo Crocifisso della chiesa dell’Araceli (la statua del Cristo è stata creata da Scipione Li Volsi, nell'anno 1652, egli fu uno scultore e stuccatore del barocco SIciliano), ai cui piedi, sulla vara, viene legato il quadro della Madonna Addolorata, che appare trafitta da sette spade ( un dipinto del XVIII secolo). I babbaluti prima dell'inizio della processione avanzano a piedi scalzi indossando solo delle pesanti calze di lana grezza realizzate a mano, devono percorrere, prima di entrare in chiesa, un cammino di purificazione: quando essi giungono in prossimità dell'antica chiesa dell'Araceli, essi si chinano e baciano in terra, ricevendo in tal modo il permesso per poter accedere dentro la chiesa, questo però avviene da una porta laterale, chiamata "falsa porta" (In dialetto siciliano “porta fausa”), una volta entrati in chiesa lateralmente, ora fuoriescono dall'ingresso principale, potendo così prendere posto, inginocchiandosi sul davanti ed alle spalle, della vara; seguirà l'atteso discorso del sacerdote, terminato, potrà iniziare la processione che si svolge per le vie del pittoresco ed accogliente paese di San Marco d'Alunzio. Lungo il percorso i Babbaluti cadenzano la propria andatura accompagnandosi alla mesta e lamentosa giugulatoria che invoca il Signore . Ci sono uomini e donne devoti che procedono assieme ai babbaluti camminando a lato della vara, toccandola, ora accarezzandola...pur di avere un contatto fisico (e di rimando spirituale) con essa. Infine, dopo aver compiuto un preciso percorso, la processione fa rientro nell'antica chiesa (di origini Normanne) dell'Aracoeli. Ogniqualvolta sono presente a questa toccante ricorrenza sono completamente inondato da emozioni (alle quali però non posso abbandonarmi, perderei la concentrazione nel realizzare le foto), il momento clou è quando il Cristo Crocifisso viene tolto dal gancio fissato sul muro da uomini esperti, per poi essere portato (sembra galleggiare) sopra la testa dei devoti, sostenuto con le mani, fin fuori la chiesa, ed essere issato e fissato sulla vara; in questi momenti di intensa emozione è comune vedere negli occhi dei devoti, lucidi di lacrime, quella emozione profonda del loro rapporto con questo Cristo, che dura da sempre: è come se si trovassero al cospetto del Cristo vero, in carne ed ossa, questa è l’atmosfera che si vive in quei momenti, questa è la magia della processione del SS. Crocifisso e di Sua Madre, rappresentata dal quadro dell’Addolorata trafitta da sette spade (iconografia di origine spagnola).
