Calvary Palm
Ramón Pérez Sosa
Given the proximity of the Week, skip the imminent return the homeland will then reappear pictures of longing and remembrance of the past, gone now, when so-called holy days were bond that tied the contrite reflection of Catholics in terms of family gathering, as well as an occasion to compromise with the waste of good food home. In Merida interioranos people close to the truce meant the provision of deprivation, fasting and penance, observed with the greatest rigor and disobeyed barely a generation ahead always break the mold so severely guarded by parents and grandparents. We cornered the inventories of memory, reviewed in stunning analogy for his players at Easter. Domingo de Ramos, mash the bread, mapora that supplied the glass marbles, the spin, the Civic, the Washing of the Feet, Seven Words and the Mass of the Resurrection, were the pictures of manners impressed us most.
abounds is made to move to the memory of my memories Mucutuy and refer to the wealthy at home table was ambitious for the needy, to perpetuate the way we did for my house providing distributed in homes low as those of Filomenito pantry and Nicasio Diaz, Pedrito that of the baskets or Altuve Tonon, without forgetting that they were guests at our table the Sergeant Pedrón and the chiefs of the whereabouts and Mucurizá, among whom were Dominguito Dugas and Antonio Rangel. They formed the Civic, praetorian guard that shielded the prostrate body of the Lord's Passion on Friday until Saturday. Don Eladio Yzarra, legatee of the Holy Sepulchre, attended the logistics of the Civic Mucutuy. In the days before Easter, the militiamen crossed the cobbled street with folksy panache martial, followed by the girl who is encouraged to testing. We were in uproar, until a crushing rusty rifle mischievously on the ancient pavement, put us on our heels. Pedrón Rangel led the Civic and one of the soldiers occupying a place on the family table Thursday or Friday.
invariably came to my house the sergeant, a graduate of the gomezalato montoneras in southern villages were treasured as a relic and that the boys were embelesábamos with his particular attire, especially when dragging the old guns in Glory night and we stretch sleepy trabucos on the sidewalk of the church. Recovered from the lethargy, we reviewed in yeast countdown that had happened in the days leading up to the Palm Sunday, when the priest called for repentance, while his right hand blessing the palms of the procession. Indeed, on Palm Sunday bore special place of honor in our retina. From Saturday, people came to the "field boots" from the height of the cold mountains and Mucucharaní Mocomboco carried the coveted plant semejaría Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, amid the crowd that greeted him as the Son of God.
altars in the south had lavish expression of kindness and crafts including lace fabric with palm leaves, the reasons causing admiration. The time and frequency with which reviews the declining quality of life in urban settings, leads us to reflect on the damage to the ecosystem caused by the devastation of vast areas that were rich populations of Palma de Cera (c eroxylon). We know the dilemma between Christian tradition and environmental conservation comes from years and that the palm is a symbol of faith that many believe irreplaceable, but it is also true that by cutting uneven species is in quarantine and no apparent duels.
A recent study by the environmentalist and writer Boconó, Mrs. Lourdes de Isea, admired for its valuable work of our strength warden of Andean culture and custodian of national biodiversity, has put us in cars to join the emergency alert to concerns on the risk faced by the wax palm. A example is the Ministry of Environment in Ecuador, which warned last 8 years its rapid extinction, as happened to Mexico and Bolivia, in the latter there is even talk of the Cross of La Palma, revealing the torment of the species. In Bogotá, the communities have proposed to carry on Palm Sunday, jars and other plants in pots, trading on the occasion to defend nature before assaulting, destroying the dwindling populations of palm. Maybe we could try with modest homes and nurseries in encouraging new plantings that space next year to recover the wax palm. That surely reconcile us with nature and return the Christian tradition of Easter, with more realism and responsibility to our peoples. It would not hurt our pastors lead the proposal. ramonsosaperez@yahoo.es
