PASSUS EST ET SEPULTUS



Adaptation of the Christian Passover to the cycles of the moon requires from time to time to a late Easter, which this year have overlapping Book Day and Holy Saturday , the time of silence in which the Christian liturgy evokes the dark, grave, calm, tense waiting to be burst into jubilation on proclamation of resurrection in the Easter vigil and moment of silence in which our time took refuge in the pages of a text that we will perhaps be a little different, a little better, a little wiser.

I am one who think that our country has a lot to get a model civic, secular, in which the only public religion is the consolidation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, hosted in our current Constitution. A road that day will go there for fear of losing their privileges each other and to lose some votes on the road. And this lack of traffic, continue to observe excesses of a side or the other, and consistent with the impertinent interference of the Catholic hierarchy in public life, trying to avoid the laws that in some way annoy them, and also some faults in the other team, calling for actions that appear to have been one-way provocation. True that our public system to acknowledge and applaud the first and often dodge and to suppress the latter, and thus make some difference. But like I dislike the faux Episcopalians, I see neither the sense nor the need to interfere in the beliefs or traditional and emotional memory (not necessarily go hand in hand) the opposing demonstrations against processions in such an important date for many people such as the Good Friday.

When some time ago a reader accused me of is to remove the blog obsessed with the Catholic Church responded that he dreamed of this time when the church ceases to attack me personally and met the other with the respect that it only preaches . I dreamed with waking up one morning without feeling deeply insulted by the bishops and their retinues. This morning when at last they would transit on his way and I for the same in parallel, without ever touching.

I know in any case, it would seem stupid to deny that Christianity has been very present in my training and my life, and very intense at times. Today is the pleasure of living in a Europe that gave great works of art still shocking to me, and I can build my own rituals (such as hearing each year on Good Friday a different version of Bach's passions) and feed my own emotions. Because a large extent, the religious phenomenon tells us about the man, their most intimate questions and needs. We propose questions and symbols on the life and death, about guilt and redemption. Symbols that are added to each other, from culture to culture, from religion to religion, forming a complex universe in whose womb I like digging. Saturday

Santo, quiet time. Christ in the tomb, Orpheus in Hades, Osiris and Persephone down into the shadows and emerge with the spring bearing in their hands, the winter break that opens to the new agrarian year life symbolic of the Celts ... Maybe you just need to rest, to complete a cycle, to mourn the losses and wait for the challenges ahead. Washing our consciousness in the stillness of waiting or reading magic or break kind, so that finally happens, again, life.

Happy life, happy day of books and roses. Happy Easter.
