Description


Un altro fiore di cactus nato nel mio giardino da una piccola pianta alla sua prima fioritura. Another cactus flower in my garden was born from a small flowering plant in his first. Ferragosto Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Il Ferragosto è una festività tipicamente italiana, assente negli altri paesi europei, che cade il 15 agosto. Tradizionalmente dedicata alle gite fuori porta, è spesso caratterizzata da lauti pranzi al sacco e, data la calura stagionale, da rinfrescanti bagni in acque marine, fluviali o lacustri. Molto diffuso anche l'esodo verso le località montane o collinari, in cerca di refrigerio. Il termine Ferragosto deriva dalla locuzione latina feriae Augusti (riposo di Augusto) indicante una festività istituita dall'imperatore Ottaviano Augusto nel 18 a.C. che si aggiungeva alle esistenti e antichissime festività cadenti nello stesso mese, come i Consualia, per celebrare i raccolti e la fine dei principali lavori agricoli. L'antico Ferragosto, oltre agli evidenti fini di autopromozione politica, aveva lo scopo di collegare le principali festività agostane allo scopo di fornire un adeguato periodo di riposo, anche detto Augustali, necessario dopo le grandi fatiche profuse durante le settimane precedenti.Nel corso dei festeggiamenti, in tutto l'impero si organizzavano corse di cavalli e gli animali da tiro, asini e muli, venivano dispensati dal lavoro e agghindati con fiori. Tali antiche tradizioni rivivono oggi, pressoché immutate nella forma e nella partecipazione, durante il "Palio dell'Assunta" che si svolge a Siena il 16 agosto.Nell'occasione, i lavoratori porgevano auguri ai padroni, ottenendo in cambio una mancia: l'usanza si radicò fortemente, tanto che in età rinascimentale fu resa obbligatoria dai decreti pontifici.Coincide con la festa cattolica della dormizione e assunzione di Maria (madre di Gesù). Esiste un parallelo tematico tra il rapimento delle vergini sabine e quello della Vergine in cielo. Assumption From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The August holiday is a holiday is typically Italian, absent in other European countries, which falls on August 15. Traditionally dedicated to long trips, is often characterized by lavish lunches and, given the seasonal heat, by refreshing baths in sea water, river or lake. Also widespread exodus to the hills or mountain resorts in search of refreshment. Assumption The term derives from the Latin phrase feriae Augusti (Augustus' rest), indicating a feast instituted by the emperor Octavian Augustus in 18 BC that was added to the existing ancient holiday falling in the same month as the Consualia to celebrate the harvest and the end of the main farm work. The former Assumption, in addition to the obvious purpose of self-promotion policy was intended to link major holidays Agostana to provide an adequate rest period, also called Augustali necessary after the great effort expended during the previous weeks. During the festivities, throughout the empire were organized racing horses and draft animals, donkeys and mules, were exempted from work and decked with flowers. These ancient traditions are still alive today, virtually unchanged in form and participation during the "Palio of the Assumption" held in Siena on August 16. Occasion, workers handed greeting the owners, in exchange for getting a tip: the custom took root deeply, so that the renaissance was made compulsory by the papal decrees. Coincides with the Catholic feast of the Dormition and Assumption of Mary (mother of Jesus). There is a parallel between the themes of the kidnapping of Sabine virgins and that of the Virgin in heaven. Good sunday and good week Thanks for the comments and the favourites of previous image
