Description

Poser pro, Vue 8 Esprit, AoI, Characters and obj Daz, Eglise Google SketchUp par Bernard Dhaussy. Roms (Slovak gypsies), Manouches, Tziganes (Hungarian gypsies) and other gypsies come from all over Europe and even from other continents to worship their Saint, Sara the Black. They settle in the squares, at the seaside. For a week or more, they feel at home. The pilgrimage is also the opportunity to meet up again and most of the children are baptised in the church of the Saints. Once the shrine is taken down on May 24, Sara's statue is carried by the gypsies to the sea, to symbolise the waiting and the welcoming of the Saintes Maries de la Mer by Sara, patroness of the gypsies. Then the procession goes back to the church with delight expressed by cheers, musical instruments and the peal of church bells. The village of Saintes Marie de la Mer, a place of warm reception, tradition and pilgrimage, is built between sky and sea, where the Rhone meets the Mediterranean Sea. In french: Roms, Manouches, Tsiganes et Gitans arrivent des quatre coins d’Europe et même d’autres continents pour vénérer leur Sainte, Sara la Noire. Ils s’installent dans les rues, sur les places, au bord de la mer. Pendant huit à dix jours, ils sont ici chez eux. Le pèlerinage est aussi l’occasion de retrouvailles. A la suite de la descente des châsses le 24 mai, la statue de Sara est portée par les gitans jusqu’à la mer pour symboliser l’attente et l’accueil des Saintes Maries par Sara, patronne des gitans. La procession revient alors à l’église dans la joie des acclamations, des instruments de musique et du carillon des cloches de l’église.
