L'uccisione del maiale è un rito antico, quasi sacrale, dove il rosso del sangue si mischia a quello del vino.

Ogni venerdì santo, dal XIII secolo, lungo le vie di Gubbio sfila una processione pregna di sacralità. Alla luce di falò e fiaccole, al suono di un antichissimo canto in latino, il Miserere [ www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AEuEl7jYuI ], che si è tramandato per secoli oralmente, al ritmo delle preghiere e del suono cupo dei penitenti con le caratteristiche “battistrangole” e il rumore dei passi lenti sul selciato, si richiama alla penitenza, alla purificazione e alla redenzione.

 

La processione del venerdì santo di Gubbio rievoca i simboli della passione che sfilano portati da uomini in saio e incappucciati: sono il teschio che rappresenta il Golgota, l’uomo con la croce, altri uomini con croci, il calice, i 40 denari, la corda, la colonna, il gallo, i flagelli, la corona di spine, la scritta Inri, il velo della Veronica, il sudario, i chiodi, il martello, la spugna, la lancia, i vestiti di Gesù, i dadi, la scala, le tenaglie. Questi simboli sono proceduti dagli uomini della confraternita che recano in mano il battistrangole, uno strumento in ferro che, scosso, determina un suono lugubre e sordo e richiama la popolazione alla processione e alla sua sacralità.

 

Seguono le statue del Cristo Morto e della Madonna Addolorata, entrambe preziose statue lignee, la prima si presume cinquecentesca, la seconda ottocentesca. Sono trasportate da uomini che indossano saio bianco con cappa nera (statua del Cristo) e saio bianco con cappa blu (statua della Madonna). Tutti i luoghi più significativi della storia di Gubbio sono raggiunti dal corteo: dal “pietrone”, antichissima pietra sacrificale che indica le origini pre-romane di Gubbio, ai conventi cittadini, all’ospedale, attraversando le vie del centro storico. In piazza San Pietro, Via Dante e Largo San Marziale sono accesi i fuochi e i bracieri. L’attenzione, il coinvolgimento con cui viene seguita la processione dai presenti determina una forte solennità e suggestione.

Plešivec is an ancient seat of the Bubek family. The Ákoš family, the ancestors of the Bubeks, received it from King Belo IV. in 1243, after the battle on the Slaná River, where the ancestor of the Bubeks, Detrik, allegedly saved the king’s life. After stabilizing his position in 1320, Dominik Bubek built a water castle in Plešivec. In its vicinity, he built a monumental church, which also served as a burial place for the representatives of the family. It was constructed on the site of an older church built by his ancestors. The church, originally nearly twice as long as it is now, was a two-nave Gothic building with a polygonal ending of the chancel, originally vaulted on the central pillars.

 

From 1349, we have a record of the request of Juraj Bubek to the Pope for the possibility of collecting the indulgences to finance its construction. In the middle of the 14th century, the interior of the church was completed with fresco paintings of very high quality, carried out by Italian masters. In the first quarter of the 15th century, the church was completed with the north-facing funeral chapel of the Bubeks, built according to the pattern of the Spiš funeral chapels. We enter into the chapel through an impressive portal, the architecture of which is associated with the works of the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth in Košice. In its interior, we find three three-part late Gothic windows with an original tracery in the ogive arch shape and corbels of the former vaults.

 

In 1558, at the time of the Turkish threat, the church was severely damaged, the vault collapsed and the building remained as a ruin until its reconstruction in 1617. By that time, the church was taken over by the reformed believers who reduced its layout to its current length of 19 meters; they covered the nave with a flat ceiling and closed the entrance to the unused chapel. At that stage, the entrance to the church was established from the south and three window openings were made on the south wall. From that period comes a valuable matroneum with painted decorations from 1627. In 1807, a bell-tower was built, a beautiful example of the so-called Gemer classicism.

The fortified early Gothic church from the first half of the 14th century was built on the site of an older building. In the 15th century it was fortified with a wall and a wooden bell tower was built on the grounds in 1657. The single-nave space with a square-ended presbytery and a built-in sacristy has a painted cassette ceiling from 1758, the presbytery is characteristic by its rib vault. The mural paintings date back to the 60s of the 14th century and the creator of at least a part of them is the Master of Ochtiná presbytery. These interior frescoes were discovered in the early 20th century by I. Huszka who was restoring them in 1905. All the paintings, interior and exterior ones, were completely restored between 1983 and 1985 by J. Josefík, L. Székely and I. Žuch.

 

Within the almost intact medieval church, the murals have a uniquely strong impression and informative value, thanks to their scale and complexity of preservation. Thematically they focus on individual scenes from the Marian and the Passion cycle, but they do not have a uniform concept unlike the upper belt on the nave’s northern wall with a complete depiction of the St. Ladislaus legend.

The High altar of Saint Nicholas in the parish Church of Saint Nicholas in Prešov, eastern Slovakia, was erected already in late Gothic period (1490-1506, sculptor Ján Weiss). After the fire of 1673 the Gothic shrine with more than life-size carvings survived and was incorporated to the new Baroque altar construction of 1696 with statues by Jozef Hartmann, with the dominant Saint Sebastian. The prominent position of Saint Sebastian in the altar dedicated to Saint Nicholas can be explained by the intervention of the city mayor, donor of the altar, whose patron saint was Sebastian.

There are major chakras (energy centers) within. Orange is the color of the 2nd chakra...the sacral. There was so much information at the site (at the end) that I decided not to reinvent the wheel. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the chakras. Since the site covers at least 12 colors, FYI, the main colors in ascending chakra order are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple.

 

The Meaning of the Color Orange

2nd Chakra - Swadhisthana - Lower abdomen to navel

 

Colour - Orange

 

Element - Water, Emotional identity, oriented to self-gratification

 

Aligned with the planet Mars and the Sun

 

Orange is the color of creativity and sexuality.

 

Orange is the color of joy, enthusiasm and creativity and promotes a general sense of wellness.

 

Orange stones increase and aid personal power, self-esteem and confidence. A balance of orange will let a person handle the ups and downs of life with finesse, quickly recovering from disappointments or wounded heart or pride.

 

When this Chakra is blocked we experience: Guilt, stiff lower back, restlessness, confusion and lack of sexual desire or pleasure.

 

Too much Orange

 

Too much Orange and we become self-centred, manipulative, and self serving, disregarding the needs of others. Pride, and arrogance can push us out of balance.

 

Not Enough Orange

 

Too little Orange and we become frigid, distrustful, timid or shy, and overly sensitive. We lose our motivation, our self esteem suffers, and we have a tendency to isolate or become rebellious. We hide our emotions and are easily hurt. This can lead to becoming mistrustful of others, introverted, unable to show emotions, worrying about what others think, and even anti-social behaviour.

 

Physical:

 

Orange physically effects sexuality, genital area, reproductive organs, pulse rate, gall bladder, bowel and lower intestine, food allergies, eating disorders. It aids rheumatism, arthritis and exhaustion.

 

Orange is good for the pulse rate and the gall bladder. It relieves bladder and kidney problems, food allergies and eating disorders.

 

Spiritually:

 

Spiritually effects - Creativity, emotional balance, sexuality, harmony, passion, freedom, intuition, and expression of emotions.

 

Keywords for Orange:

 

Out going, self assuredness, intellect, busy, bright, courage, creativity, relationships, property deals, authority, power, sun and fire elements, happiness, motivation, well-being, awareness, kindness, success, concentration, optimism, legal matters, trength, reproductions, business goals, selling, action, amiability, communication, scheerful, stimulation, energy.

 

The most effective way to add the power of Orange or correct an imbalance in the 2nd Chakra is thru adding natural orange crystals and gemstones to your everyday wardrobe so they are close to you for several hours at a time and touching your skin, (the pulse points: ears, wrists, ankles, and neckline) and thus effecting your aura and Sacral Chakra.

 

Orange stones - Orange Jade, Carnelian, Orange Calcite, Fire Agate, Orange Quartz, Orange Rhodochrosite, Orange Garnet, Orange Amber.

Rimavské Brezovo, like many other municipalities in the region, is associated with mining history. The originally early Gothic church, towering over the silhouette of low village houses, used to be dedicated to the Birth of the Virgin Mary before the Reformation. The name of the village was given according to the first written historical reference from the year 1334 as Brezou and, for some time, it was also the county seat of Malohont. The single-nave church was probably built in the first half of the 14th century with a square-ended chancel and a rib vault. Due to the population increase connected with the establishment of iron works facility in the village at the end of the 18th century, the church capacity was insufficient. Therefore, the largest reconstruction of the temple was undertaken in 1893. The original sacristy on the northern side was demolished, the entrance was walled and the nave was extended southwards. The older chancel thus lost its role and started to be used as a sitting space. Thanks to this reconstruction, medieval murals were found under layers of lime paint and their restoration was then devoted to I. Möller and I. Huszek. Unfortunately the work was not always done in the most sparing way. Quality interior paintings in the original Gothic section are probably the work of artists from the workshop of the Master of Ochtiná chancel. The most striking element is Christ in Glory, the figure of the blessing Christ in the shining circle with the Sun and the Moon, depicted in the eastern part of the vault. The winged lion and the golden-winged eagle on the sides symbolize the evangelists Mark and John. Opposite to them are an angel and a winged bull as Matthew and Luke. The Marian theme is elaborated in two bands around the perimeter of the entire chancel. The lower band of the northern wall belongs to the depiction of the Death of the Virgin Mary, above this composition we find a quite unique, for this region, Italian-Byzantine motif of the Assumption with the figure of Christ in the mandorla. A small child stands on his knees as the soul of the Virgin Mary, the whole scene is held by four stylized angels. Beneath the Marian cycle, the entire perimeter of the walls is painted with a template ornament, into which the strip of four-leaf-shaped medallions with heads of prophets is inserted. This part of the paintings appears to be the least affected by the re-paintings and is preserved in a very good condition and in the original colours. On the walls of the nave, due to various building modifications, the frescoes were preserved only in fragments. The most intact frescoes are on the southern part of the triumphal arch: the Christ in a mandorla, a blessing angel, or St. Bartholomew, who was skinned alive, he carries the skin on a stick. Remnants of the Christological Cycle, such as the Christ carrying the cross or the Crucifixion, were preserved on the northern wall of the nave. The southern wall was largely destroyed during the redevelopment. However, research has revealed a depiction of St. Anne as a madonna with a child in her arms, with women carrying gifts in baskets walking into her direction. They also carry young pigeons to prepare a traditional strengthening soup for the fresh mother. This scene is very likely utterly unique on the territory of Slovakia. Comprehensive restoration and research were carried out in successive stages from 2005 till 2019, and the original approximately 700-year-old paving in the chancel was a valuable discovery as well. The restoration of the chancel was awarded by the main prize of the Cultural monument of the year 2012, the artworks were renewed by M. Janšto and R. Boroš. The church logo symbolically depicts a fresco of a young maiden attacked by devils in the hell from the church nave
