Venezuela-The story of the manger is surrounded by characters
In the grotto lit by oil lamps lies a young woman with a baby in her lap. Until a moment ago the child was crying in a small manger of straw. A thin, bearded Palestinian watches with clean, cheerful look. The crying of the child, the journey of a star and its prophetic
attracted some shepherds who were resting under the concave face of heaven.
Even the guests of a hostel on the way they came to worship the Child, which had been announced as the Messiah.
Three mysterious figures, richly attired, entered the kind of grotto where, in the hay and the sheet, was the image that eventually became the set of all Western culture, which celebrates the birth of Jesus.
Theater & Beauty
Pope Innocent III banned all theatrical form in the churches. But St. Francis of Assisi, ignoring the stubborn expression of the aforementioned top leader of the Catholic Church now deceased, requested permission from Pope Honorius III to put a crib in a church in an Italian village in Tuscany called Greccio. The recorded date is 1223.
However, long before the Holy of Animals, in the same cave in Bethlehem people would put Retablillo and images that simulated the gracious divine birth. Some of these images were taken from Palestine to Rome by Pope Sixtus III (432-440).
Later, Pope Theodore I (642-649) set up a chapel where was present the cradle of the Child Jesus. Of course, the Romans made mocking derision of these manifestations rituals.
St. Francis of Assisi, the tradition spread everywhere, including those where Jesus lived. Until in 1986 Pope John Paul II proclaimed the farmer as the patron saint of henbane Universal.
Another character of the town of Assisi, Santa Clara, belonging to the Franciscan order, was commissioned to create the novices in the practice of bringing the convent a picture of Baby Divine to dress according to the taste of each. He was adored by all the nuns.
The other age
Many historians say the oldest crib was built in the monastery of Füssen, Bavaria, Germany in 1252. Martinez Palomero but the writer points out that the first was made by Arnolfo di Cambio, at Florence Cathedral in 1289. Di Cambio carved a full on marble birth thanks to his skills as an architect.
The Italian peninsula after the rejection-is peopled with Roman-manger, but not only in churches are present, but in caves, mountains and hills sprinkled natives this betrayal that is now sadly threatened.
Our Birth
The Child Jesus has his eyes open. The Virgin Mary with bright and smiling face looks happy. For his part, Jose takes a breath to tickle her young son.
Venezuelan homes, which still persists in the habit of putting together the crib, decorate the house and lighting to celebrate Christmas, they choose the most appropriate place, where he installed all sorts of objects alluding to December to give you a touch of reality to the images that accompany the Christ Child. A river of glass down from a hill. Cows, calves, goats, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens and children run to the spot where the boy slept with open arms. On the other end we see a real stream of water that simulates another river which falls exactly at the foot of the Magi.
Sure, every birth is built with Venezuelan pictures of the various regions of the country. So, if Plainsman, the characters take hats and sandals, and horses, donkeys and cows graze near a pond, while herons and bitterns frolicking in the artificial landscape. If Andean children's characters will be wearing warm clothes. We'll see mules, roosters and birds in the region to accompany the farmers. And so ...
The house is visited by neighbors and onlookers that pass by. In the San Ignacio de Maracay-for example, the owners put a manger Christmas music. A true syncretism in which the people are masters of their beliefs and imaginative expressions. Watch a crib, a birth, is to return to the tenderness of childhood, to the depth of affection and beauty of a scene that will have to continue living for the benefit of our traditions.
