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).

2014 Gore Aussie Muscle Mania Car Show (12-4-14)
The Holden Torana is a car that was manufactured by General Motors–Holden's (GM-H), the Australian subsidiary of General Motors (GM) from 1967 to 1980. The name comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "to fly". The first Torana (HB series) appeared in 1967 and was a four-cylinder compact vehicle with origins in the British Vauxhall Vivas of the mid-1960s.
(Ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Torana#LJ)
Holden Torana -LJ (series 1972-1974)
LJ Torana: LJ was just another set of initials in the non-specific GMH fashion. The " L" still referred to, the "light" car concept, but the mysteries of the "J" are probably not worth trying to unravel. As for the cars themselves they are basically face-lifted LC models with substantial improvements. GMH heavies wanted them to sell in the showroom alongside the newly released HQ, keeping the Torana name healthy in the market but without stealing too much of the bigger Holden's thunder. HQ was the biggest Holden news in years, bigger even than the LC Torana had been late in 1969. Thus it made plenty of sense for GMH to establish a strong connection between HQ and the cheaper Torana. Visually, this connection was achieved by giving the LJ an egg-crate style grille, similar in shape to the HQ's. At the rear, three piece tail lights replaced the original one piecers. The changes introduced with LJ and the strengthening of its links with the full size Holdens went much further. In side the cabin, the bond was emphasised with identical steering wheels, ignition switch, steering locks and door ashtrays. And, where the LC six-cylinder sedans had offered a choice between the 2250 and 2600 engines, LJ was available with the newly released 202 engine. In Torana application the 202 was dubbed " 3300 ".With LJ there was still no V8 option, but the Torana could be specified with the biggest six, which hadn't been the case before. This went some way to narrowing the gap between Torana and Kingswood and helped prepare the public for the forth coming LH model. The LJ was launched for sale in January 1972. Altogether there were no less than eight engines from which to choose, ranging from the venerable 56 horsepower 1159 cm3 four (which preferred flat terrain and lots of revs!)to the 190 horsepower version of the 202 (which loved mountains!) used in the LJ XU-l. Most models were upgraded. The standard GTR, for example, now used a 202 engine instead of the "S" version of first the l6l and then the 173 (2850). A bored-out version of the 1159 cm3 four displaced 1256cm3 and was standard fitment in the Deluxe four. It's output was 62 bhp (and it still Preferred flat terrain and lots of revs!) The biggest of the fours was the slant SOHC 1600 introduced in July l97l as a running mod on LC. Unfortunately, this engine promised far more than it delivered. With a quoted maximum power output of 80 horsepower at 5500 rpm, you'd expect a substantial performance gain over the 55 bhp l256 cm3 four. Infact, you'd expect a 1600 Torana to match any of the l.5/1.6 litre SOHC Japanese fours of its era. It couldn't, There was impressive mid-range top gear flexibility, but outright acceleration was sad to say the least, with zero to 60 mph taking a whopping 17 seconds. The standing quarter time was genuine are-we-keeping-you- up? material at 20.5 seconds, only a second or so clear of the l.3 litre version and barely on the same page of the calendar as any of the sixes.
All the sixes displayed good torque at low engine speeds, but to get any thing approaching real performance, you were looking at a 2850 version, minimum. A four speed geared 2850 could cover the quarter in 18.5 seconds, having dispatched 0 to 60 mph in a tad over 13 seconds. Top speed was about 97 mph, compared with 85 for the 1600 and even less for the 1.3. Interestingly enough, the 2250 could stretch its legs to 95, even if the speedo took a while to arrive. The interior of the LJ Torana in all its variants was a much nicer place to spend time. The seats were greatly improved. Chief Engineer of the time, George Roberts admitted that the earlier seats were like miniature trampolines. Apparently they were designed without any reference to the suspension and were totally out of tune with the springs, The effect was worst on the stiffer GTR and XU-l models. Over uneven surfaces the hot shot LC's were painfully uncomfortable.
Although the instrument layout itself was unchanged, GMH's styling team had wisely decided to rid the Torana of its droopy fascia. In LJ models the padding ran the width of the car in an unbroken line and looked much neater. The radio was relocated in the entree of the fascia. On LC it had been hung some where underneath. All 1972 cars had to have an ignition/steering lock as standard fitment. So the switch moved off the dash, leaving room for the heater/ventilation controls. Gone was the dash top ash tray and a pair of fiddly HQ door trim-mounted units took its place.
Other detail changes lifted the Torana's game. For example, the protruding glovebox knob was replaced by a neater recessed grip. Front head restraints were standard so occupant comfort in the firm-riding GTR and XU-I models was much greater, with the risk of incurring whiplash having been reduced dramatically! Suddenly a Torana could tackle bad roads without too much trouble. The GTR and XU-1 were reinforced in their position as the leading GMH sporties by the fitment of the GTS steering wheel. All LJs featured softer front suspension rates and wider disc brakes (still optional on some variants). But softer didn't mean floatier. In fact, all LJs rode noticeably better, thanks largely to improved damper rebound rates. Evidently, GMH hit the spot with LJ because its sales performance was better than LC's. A total of 81,453 were produced. They were sold between January 1972 and March l974 when the LH was unveiled. So average monthly sales were around 3100. Admittedly this was only 100 or so units per month a head of the old model, but by 1972 the Torana shape was already half a decade old. Despite the smaller car's facelift with HQ-style grille and rear light clusters LJ's looked positively out dated. The fact that this car could sell strongly was proof that the light six concept was here to stay. Even Ford Australia found it necessary to get a piece of the action with 3.3 and 4.1 litre versions of the TC Cortina. As the 70s wore on, the major failing of the six-pack Toranas became more apparent. The cars were simply too narrow. Not only did they look narrow and increasingly so in company of cars such as HQ and the XA Falcon, even the TC Cortina, but they lacked interior space. To solve the problem an all Aussie team would be needed to create a new car, that is when GMH came up with the 1974 LH Torana.

Holden also developed a 308ci V8-powered version of the GTR XU-1, often referred to as the GTR XU-2, but the car never made it past the prototype stage.
