Ukulondoloza i-Sardine Heaven
Ngibheka efasiteleni lesitolo e-Lisbon, ePortugal, ngabona iqoqo lezimoto eziguquguqukayo ze-vintage eziqhubekayo eduze kwe-Avenue Liberdade: Zagcwele abashadayo kuzo zonke izilinganiso, ubujamo nobudala, begqoke kuzo zonke izinto zabo zokugqoka zomshado.
Umnikazi wesitolo wangitshela ukuthi yibo "abashadikazi bakaSt. Anthony," owaziwa nangokuthi "ungumdlali we-matchmaker," futhi kwakuyingxenye yamasiko edilini kaJuni 12-14 kaSanta. Uthi ihholo lomuzi ngokuvamile libamba umbhangqwana womshado mahhala uma behlupheka.
NgangiseLisbon ukugubha iMkhosi kaSt. Anthony futhi ngiqale usuku lokuya eMisa esontweni lakhe. Ngangihamba ngaphesheya kwesixuku ngifika e-altare langaphambili futhi ngathola ukuthembela kwegolide nekristall. Lapho ngihlolwa ngokucophelela ngibone uhlobo oluthile lwethambo ngaphakathi. Kamuva ngathola ukuthi kwakuyingxenye yesipele esiphezulu saSaint.
Esikhathini esingaphambi kwesonto kwakuyisitolo esincane sesipho. Lokho okwakubanjwe iso lami kwakuyiqembu labesifazane abathengisa izinkwa zesinkwa mayelana nobukhulu bebhola legalofu. Abantu babexoshwa futhi bezama ukuzithenga. Ngaphawula ukuthi iningi lalaba besifazane babuyela esontweni futhi bacindezela isinkwa ngokumelene nesithombe esibukwe ingilazi esanta.
Ngabe ngiphawula ukuthi abesifazane abaningana babeyimilayezo yokuloba emaphepheni ephepheni, bawafake bese bewafaka eforeni elizungeze isithombe. Ngangilandela futhi ngibhala phansi umthandazo okhethekile, ngiphakamisile ngiphakamise futhi ngifake ngaphakathi kwesakhiwo kanye nesinkwa sami sezinkwa.
Umkhuba Othinta
Isiko 'sesinkwa sikaSt. Anthony' sabuyela emuva ngo-1263 AD, lapho umntwana egwinywa eMfuleni iBrenta eduze kwaseBasilica yaseSt. Anthony ePadua. Umama waya eSt. Anthony futhi wathembisa ukuthi uma umntwana wakhe ebuyiselwa ekuphileni, wayezokwenza abampofu inani elithile likakolweni elilingana nesisindo somntwana wakhe.
Indodana yakhe yasindiswa, futhi isithembiso sakhe sigcinwa. "Isinkwa sikaSt. Anthony," ke, isithembiso sokupha izibusiso ngokubuyisela umusa oceliwe nguNkulunkulu ngokusebenzisa ukuncenga kukaSt. Anthony.
Kubanikazi beFado
Abaculi bomculo abafisa ukuzwa iFado, umculo ovusa imizwelo, umculo omangalisayo othile ohlonishwayo e-peninsula yase-Iberiya ngokuvamile uthola isithombe sika-Anthony ngemuva kwe-fadista (umculi) no-instrumentalists.
UFado wagijima emva kuka-Anthony, kodwa isihloko sakhe esiyinhloko singumlando futhi sikulangazelela-ngalokho okulahlekile nalokho okungakaze kutholakale. U-Anthony uhambela ngqo kule ndawo.
Ngashiya isonto ukubona ukuthi yini engingayithola ngeSt. Anthony.
U-Anthony wasePadua
Indoda eyaziwa abaningi ngokuthi u-Anthony wasePadua yayingumPutukezi. Wayengumamanisi ongokomoya, efuna amazwe amasha omphefumulo, njengoba nje nabanye abahloli bamaPutukezi bafika emanzini angaziwa.
Waba nombono womhlaba obanzi womuntu owaziwayo-futhi waba isithunywa sevangeli esingesabi esasiqala ukuya eMorocco bese eseningizimu yeFrance nasenyakatho ye-Italy ngezinyawo.
Ngesikhathi eseRimini, ogwini lwase-Adriatic lwase-Italy, wabhekana nobunzima bokuthola umphakathi wendawo ukuba umlalele. Ngenkinga ethile, wehlela ogwini, lapho umfula i-Ariminus ugijima olwandle, waqala ukukhuluma nezinhlanzi.
Inqwaba Yezinhlanzi
Ngokushesha lapho ekhulume amazwi ambalwa lapho ngokuzumayo inqwaba yezinhlanzi, zombili ezincane nezinkulu, zafika ebhange ayemi ngalo. Zonke izinhlanzi zazigcwala amakhanda awo emanzini, futhi zabonakala zibheke ngokucophelela ubuso bukaSt Anthony; konke kwahlelwa ngendlela ephelele futhi ngokuthula kakhulu, ezincane phambi kwebhange, emva kwazo zafika lezo ezincane kakhulu, futhi ekugcineni, amanzi ayejule kakhulu, amakhulu kunazo zonke.
Njengoba eqhubeka ekhuluma, le nhlanzi yaqala ukuvula imilomo yabo futhi yaguqa amakhanda, yenza konke okusemandleni abo ukuveza inhlonipho yabo. Abantu bomuzi, bezwa ngalesi simangaliso, bashesha ukufakaza.
Ama-sardine yi-Specialty's Local
Ngangizwile ukuthi ama-sardine amelela lezo zinhlanzi ezimangalisayo futhi yayiyingxenye ebalulekile yemikhosi.
Ngangena endaweni yokudlela enhle ngokucabangela ukucabangela izinhlanzi ezihlwabusayo zokudla kwasemini.
Maye, lo mantad wazama ukuhleka usulu njengoba ethi abanayo ama-sardine. Ngazama ezinye izindawo zokudlela eziningi.
Kwakungaze kube yilapho umfana esitolo sangomculo angiqondisa phansi emgwaqweni omncane ogcwele amatafula angaphandle kanye nezindawo ezihlukahlukene zokudlela engizifunayo.
Babeziqhenya ngokuziqhenya kuyo yonke inkazimulo yabo yokuthula endaweni ecwecwe. Ukudla kwakunguNkulunkulu!
Kuvela ukuthi ukuvulwa kwenkathi yesardine kuhambisana noMkhosi kaSt. Anthony kanye nabo bonke abantu basezidolobheni ababopha kuzo zonke izinhlobo ze-grill. Izindawo zokudlela ezidumile azikwazi ukuncintisana futhi abantu abangeke bakhokhe izintengo zabo zale ndawo ekhethekile.
"Oyingcweti kaMatshi"
Udumo lwezimangaliso zikaSt. Anthony alukaze luyeke, ngisho nangosuku lwamanje uhlonishwa njengomsebenzi omkhulu kunazo zonke zezikhathi.
Ucelwa ngokukhethekile ukubuyiswa kwezinto ezilahlekile. Futhi, ngokumelene nendlala, ukuzala; abaphathi bama-amputees, izilwane, abagibeli bemikhumbi, iBrazil, izilwane ezifuywayo, asebekhulile, omama abalindelekile, ukholo eSigrament Ebusisiwe, Ferrazzano, abadobi, izivuno, amahhashi, iLisbon, izilwane eziphansi, i-mail, abasolwandle, abantu abacindezelweyo, ePadua, abahluphekayo, ePortugal , abasolwandle, izinhlanzi, ama-swineherds, amaNdiya aseTigua, abahambeli bezokuvakasha, abahambi, namakha.
NgoJuni 13 yiSt. Anthony's Day
USt. Anthony uyaziwa ngokuthi unkosikazi we-matchmaker futhi kufike usuku lwakhe, ngoJuni 13, amantombazane azama izindlela ezahlukene zokuthola ukuthi ngubani ozoshada naye.
Enye indlela oyintandokazi ukuba intombazane igcwalise umlomo wayo ngamanzi futhi ibambe kuze kube yilapho ezwa igama lomfana elikhulunywe ngaye. Igama elizwayo ngokuqinisekile liyoba yindoda yakhe yesikhathi esizayo!
Enye indlela yokubona "umlindi" ukwenza isivumelwano noSt. Anthony ngesibonakaliso noma into owaziyo kuphela.
Umkhuba odumile uyeluleka:
- Gcwalisa isitsha esincane ngamanzi
- Bhala amagama alabo ongathanda (noma ucabange ukuthi ungathanda!) Ukuba ube ngumlingani wakho ophelele
- Gcwalisa iphepha ngalinye bese uwabeka esitsheni
- Beka isitsha ngaphansi kombhede wakho
- Ngakusasa, bheka amaphepha. Igama elivule kakhulu kumlingani wakho ophelele!
Abesifazane abangashadile baye baziwa ukuthenga isithombe esincane sikaSt. Anthony kanye nendawo (noma ukuyibeka) ehlaselwa ngesonto, emmangalela ukuba ambeke endaweni yakhe evamile ngemuva kokuthola umyeni omuhle.
Umkhuba omuhle wosuku wukuthi insizwa inikeze ibhodlela le-basil intombazane ethemba ukuyoshada. Ngaphakathi kwamaphethini yivesi noma umlayezo okhombisa intshisekelo yendoda.
Izimbiza ze-basil zikhonjiswe cishe kuwo wonke amakhondomu azungeze umuzi futhi zivame ukunikezwa njengezipho ezinamavesi amancane aphikisa uSt. Anthony noma othandana nomthandi.
Ukugubha iSt. Anthony
Lapho wonke umuzi ugubha uSt. Anthony ngobusuku buka-Juni 12 kuya ku-13, ama-altare akhiwe, izigubhu zenziwa futhi izitaladi zihlotshiswe emoyeni zigcwele iphunga elimnandi lama-sardine liboshwe emabhantshi ahlanganisa cishe yonke imigwaqo, ikakhulukazi esifundeni sase-Alfama yedolobha.
I-parade enkulu kakhulu i-Marchas Populares, eduze ne-Avenue Liberade. Ngithole indawo enhle yokubuka indawo engekude nehhotela lami nabangani abambalwa futhi ngibheke njengabadabu abaningi abangadluli.
Yonke indawo yaseLisbon inezembatho zayo ezigqoke izingubo, ezihambayo kanye namaqembu ahambayo. Kukhona umklomelo weqembu elihle kakhulu kodwa njengoba umhlangano uqhubeka phakathi kwamabili, mina nabangane bami salambile futhi saya esifundeni sase-Alfama sardines.
Sasimenywe emgodini omncane wesigodi owawuphethe i-patio ngemuva kwawo. Lapho sasiphathwa nge-sardine ezicwebezwe kahle, sasikekwa ngesinkwa sesinkwa kumapuleti wephepha namaphini.
Siphuza i-sangria emabhodleleni epulasitiki futhi siphuka iminwe yethu njengoba sifinyelela enye inhlanzi. Inqwaba yamathambo ehlanganiswe phakathi kwetafula lethu futhi namanje izinhlanzi zaqhubeka ziza. Ngangisezulwini le-sardine.
Kuzo zonke izidlo ezilungiselelwe kahle lapho nginaso ePortugal, lo mdlalo wokudla phakathi kwamabili uhlala uqondile.
