Quote this article that I think very interesting (source: http://capodorlando.blogolandia.it)
Punctual like every year, we are at the gates of the festival of the dead.
Feast of the Dead has ancient origins, the Catholic Church dedicated to the commemoration of the dead.
the ancient civilizations celebrated between late October and early November.
seems to refer to the Great Flood mentioned in Genesis, with the construction of Noah's Ark and, according to the story of Moses fell in the seventeenth day of the second month, ie November.
Thus began the feast of the dead in honor of the people that God had destroyed underlining the fear to commit the same mistakes.
The Catholic Church was struggling to abolish the pagan cults with their Celtic traditions and about the year 835 Pope Gregory II moved the feast of All Saints from May 13 to November I, while in 998 Abbot of Cluny Odilo added to the Christian calendar the feast of the dead to November 2.
In those days in memory of their dead there he disguised himself as saints, angels or devils, and bonfires were lit.
It is said that between November 1 and two, the night was longer than the day that the prince of darkness and called to himself all the spirits to pass from one world to another.
The festivities of this period took place with offerings of food, bonfires and costumes, so here pagan customs to this day.
It is said that it began the habit of leaving the children gifts and sweets because Legend has it that the dead to steal or pastry shop owners to leave gifts to their loved ones. In this way we want sdramatizzare fear that you have with the world of the dead, the mystery that exists between living and dead. Children
this custom has been handed down to avoid frightening and make it clear that they want their deaths are still good.
In our area, the second morning is a treasure hunt, it goes in search of gifts left by the dead, hidden in the most diverse of the house. It is also believed that souls should be drinking and feeding.
This leaves a bottle of fresh water and a bowl of cooked vegetables such as peas or beans.
sure to religion has taken over the appearance charged with consumerism. For a couple of years in Italy celebrates the feast of Halloween has its origins in Celtic traditions as there are in Scotland, England, Ireland and France.
The night of Halloween is the custom by children to knock on doors of houses and say "trick or treat" that trick or treat and offer cookies, candies and sweets of all kinds.
course every region has its own traditions and its customs, Sicily is a feast of flavors, fragrances and colors for our children.
We are not used to say, the commemoration of the dead but the feast of the dead, maybe because they do not feel like a sad day, but happy with our cemeteries with flowers and bustling with people.
In Calabria, for example in areas inhabited by Italian-Albanians go to the cemetery in procession, and after prayers and blessings are directly Banquet on the graves, all this to get in touch with their dead.
In Piedmont you use the table for dinner and leave a place more to the table for the deceased would come to visit.
In Japan the Buddhist All Souls' Day is commemorated on July 15. They do not believe in spirits or ghosts like us, but god or entity. The recurrence
from them is that the call Obon Festival of the Soul. Handed down from the custom of preparing a horse made with a cucumber and a cow made with eggplant.
All this because to come to find them alive with a fast horse would have achieved while, to return more slowly with a slow cow eggplant.
In Buddhism there is the idea of \u200b\u200bhell and suffering after death, but it's a cross between soul and god help protect their descendants.
For the Japanese festival of Obon means having fun with the dead coming back among the living.
In China the cult of the dead has the purpose of honoring the ancestors for their businesses, their veneration and honor are prepared and decorated altars on which sacrifices and offerings are made.
In Africa almost all religions are monotheistic, they believe in one God and creator of the universe is conceived as a superior being.
why human events and their customs are addressed only with prayers to the spirits below and in particular to deceased ancestors. So it is for the descendants
strengthen and reaffirm their vital relationship with the well-being on the afterlife.
They also know that social betterment must respect the dead by giving importance to rituals propriziatori.
All this serves to strengthening the connection between living and dead.
They show the worship of the dead through ritual, amulets, masks and totems, and are looking forward messages from the ancestors.
The evangelical sects, and some Protestant churches have banned the worship to the ancestors because they believe compare to Satan worship.
back to our days and our traditions, the commemoration of the dead to join us on November 2nd to celebrate Mass at the cemetery by us with the presence of the Bishop Zambia and civil and military authorities.
conclude with a thought: do not wait until November 2 to remember our dead, but you always have them in my heart, remembering them with affection, to feel close and if we satisfy us even more, visit them more often.

Dizziness Nausea Hot Flashes
August 15
The Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all original sin, finished the course of his life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen of the universe, because it was more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death '. (Vatican Council II, 'Lumen Gentium', 59). The Assumption is the first fruits of the heavenly Church and a sign of sure hope and consolation to the pilgrim church. The 'Dormition Virginis' and the assumption, in the East and West, are among the oldest Marian feast days. This ancient liturgical evidence was explained and solemnly proclaimed the dogmatic definition of Pius XII in 1950. (Aug. Roma)
Martyrology: Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, who completed the course of her earthly life was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. This truth of faith received from the tradition of the Church was solemnly defined by Pope Pius XII.
Mary appears for the last time in the writings of the New Testament in the first chapter of Acts: She is among the apostles, in prayer in the Cenacle, awaiting the descent of the Holy Spirit. The brevity of the inspired texts, is matched by the abundance of news about Madonna in the apocryphal writings, especially the Proto-gospel of James S. and Narration John the Theologian on the Dormition of the Holy Mother of God The term "Dormition" is the oldest it describes the conclusion of the earthly life of Mary. This celebration was decreed for the East in the seventh century by decree of the Byzantine Emperor Maurice. In the same century the feast of the Dormition is introduced in Rome by a pope East, Sergio I. But he spent another century before the term "Dormition" cede place to the more explicit "recruitment".
The dogmatic definition, given by Pius XII in 1950, saying that Mary did not have to wait, like the other creatures, the end of time to qualify for redemption of the body also, wanted to emphasize the uniqueness of his personal holiness, as sin has never dimmed, even for a moment, the purity of his soul. The union ultimately, spiritual and physical, of man with Christ in glory, is the final and eternal redemption. So the blessed who already enjoy the beatific vision, are in a sense waiting for the fulfillment of our redemption, that Mary had already taken place with the singular grace of protection from sin.
In light of this doctrine, which has its foundation in Sacred Scripture, the so-called "Protoevangelium", containing the first proclamation of the messianic salvation given by God to our first parents after the fault, Mary is presented as the new Eve, closely linked to the new Adam, Jesus Christ and Mary are indeed associated with pain and love for the repair guilt of our ancestors. Thus Mary is not only the mother of the Redeemer, but also its cooperation with him closely united in struggle and in the decisive victory. This close union requires that Mary triumphs, like Jesus, not only sin but also death, the two enemies of mankind. And as for the redemption of Christ to its conclusion with the resurrection of the body, including Maria's victory over sin, the Immaculate Conception, was to be completed with the victory over death through the glorification of the body, with the assumption, since the fullness of Christian salvation is the participation of the body to heavenly glory.

Within the group of disciples of Jesus Christ, following as narrated in Acts 2:1-11 Pentecost lost Hebrew meaning to designate the descent of the Holy Spirit, which is as the new law given by God to his followers, and how the birth of the Church beginning with the early Christian community in Jerusalem, or "communities of Jerusalem" (Acts 2.42 to 48).
The anniversary of this event is become a fixture on the liturgical calendar, is also called the Feast of the Holy Spirit and the ends of the Easter holidays.
that Pentecost was born in the apostolic period is stated in the seventh fragment attributed to Irenaeus. In Tertullian (De bapt. Xix) the festival is already well defined. The Gallic pilgrim gives a detailed account of a solemn way in which it was observed in Jerusalem (Peregrin. Silviæ, ed. Geyer, iv). The Apostolic Constitutions (V, xx, 17) say that Pentecost lasts one week, but in the West began to celebrate the eighth in the later period. In Berno of Reichenau (1048 +) shows that it was discussed in his day if you were to Pentecost or not an octave.
In the past, which could not be catechumens baptized at Easter were baptized during the vigil of Pentecost, and so the ceremonies of the Sabbath eve of Pentecost were similar to those of Holy Saturday. The Feast of Pentecost - Pentecost Sunday, including Easter Monday as public holiday for all civil effects - is celebrated with special importance in Central Europe: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Holland and Luxembourg. In South Tyrol, including the capital of Bolzano, the Whit Monday public holiday is officially. Sunday is called in Anglo-white (Whitesunday) because of the white garments worn by those who were baptized during the vigil.
In the past during the entire week, the courts are not met and servile work was forbidden. The Council of Constance (1094) limited this prohibition to the first three days of the week. The Sabbath rest of Tuesday was abolished in 1771, and in many areas of the mission also on Monday, to be repealed for the entire Church by Pope Pius X in 1911. Before the liturgical reform of the liturgical rank of Monday and Tuesday of the week of Pentecost was double first class.
The liturgical celebration of Pentecost believed to date back to the first century, although there is evidence that was observed, unlike Easter, the verse of 1 Cor 16.8 probably refers to the Jewish holiday.
Today the liturgy celebrates in the degree of solemnity.
The Office of Pentecost before the liturgical reform had only one eighth Night throughout the week. A third is sung instead of the usual hymn Veni Creator, because it is the third time that the Holy Spirit descended.
The Mass of Pentecost has a sequence, the Veni Sancte Spiritus attributed to Pope Innocent III or, more likely to Langhton of Stephen archbishop of Canterbury.
The color of the vestments is red, a symbol of the Holy Spirit or tongues of fire.
The Feast of Pentecost is a feast mobile, so that its date depends on the date of From its calculation of Easter and Passover. Since we celebrated Easter on different dates from different Christian denominations, as a consequence, Pentecost is celebrated on different dates from Western and Eastern traditions of Christianity.
still existed in Italy in the nineteenth century the use of raining down on worshipers at the Mass of Pentecost, the petals of red roses, to evoke the descent of the Holy Spirit. That is also the festival took the name of "Easter pink," that has remained in some areas of central and southern Italy, [5], or Pascha rosatum. In Alto Adige, also on Sunday after Corpus Domini is celebrated on the Sacred Heart. Religious processions are held with bands and companies of "marksmen". On the evening of Sunday the Sacred Heart on the tops of the mountains are lit fires in the shape of crosses and hearts: the fires of the Sacred Heart.
The Italian word Easter comes from the red color of the red vestments used at Pentecost.

Holy Week can not be reduced to a kind of commemoration is the meditation on the mystery of Jesus Christ who continues in our souls. He wrote the holy Jose Escriva de Balaguer: "Christians are called to be an alter Christus, ipse Christus. All of us at Baptism, we were made very existence of our priests to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to good God through Jesus Christ to do each of our actions in a spirit of obedience to the will of God, thus perpetuating the Mission Man-God. " Holy Week is characterized by the Easter Triduum, the center of the mystery of Christ and the Church. The center of the liturgical year. We will live in three days, the mystery of our salvation: the Passion, Death / Burial and the glorious Resurrection of the Lord. From the pastoral point of view sorry, not just baptized, Easter means simply a party of the date ...
... "... High or low." Older people 'do Easter' means making the confession and communion once a year according to the old teaching catechism.
For most holidays and Easter is synonymous with any travel ...
We can not forget that Easter is the foundation and the common denominator of all the celebrations. Consider that over 365 days, fifty days after the Sunday of the Resurrection are devoted to the celebration of Easter as one "great Sunday."
If we consider the 40 days of Lent, which is structured according to Easter, we understand the importance that the Church gives this period is essentially a step toward greater communion with Christ and his Church towards greater consistent with the Gospel of life. At the center
Holy Week and Easter is 50 days of a three days the celebrations are the product of all the Christian mystery. On Holy Thursday
On Thursday, in history, has never belonged to the Triduum.
The liturgical reform of Vatican II considers him an introduction. Holy Thursday is the last day of Lent, the Mass and the Lord's Supper, from the start in some way to the Easter Triduum of the three days' Passionis Resurrectionis et Domini.
say that the memory of the Last Supper is the comprehensive listing of events such as Easter and purpose is clearly apparent in the discourse of Jesus recorded by John.
Remember the beloved Pope Benedict: "In addition to the institution of the priesthood, this holy day commemorating the total offering Christ made of himself to humanity in the sacrament of the Eucharist. That night he was betrayed, he left us, as Sacred Scripture, the "new commandment" - "mandatum novum" - the touching gesture of brotherly love of the washing of feet, which recalls the humble service slaves. This unique day, evocative of the great mysteries, ends with Eucharistic adoration, in memory of the Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane. Taken from great distress, the Gospel, Jesus asked his disciples to watch with him remaining in prayer: "Stay here and watch with me" (Mt 26,38), but the disciples fell asleep. Even today, the Lord tells us: "Remain here and watch with me." [04/13/2006].
.... so we can better understand the mystery of Holy Thursday, which embraces the three supreme gift of the ministerial priesthood, the Eucharist and the new commandment of love (agape). [04/04/2007]
the Easter Triduum
Good Friday
Since ancient times this day was aliturgico, ie without the Eucharistic celebration. The core of the celebration, as we learn dall'Apologia of Justin, is a celebration of Word of God and, in particular, the St John Passion.
Good Friday does not celebrate the funeral of Jesus!
The red color of the liturgical vestments is a sign of royalty and victory. Church until the twelfth century loved to represent Jesus on the cross alive, with eyes open, with the white robe of rose or red king, and often even with a royal crown on his head.
adoration of the cross is undoubtedly the most popular aspect of the austere ceremony in the day.
It makes its impressive entrance and enter the model of the entrance procession of the Paschal Vigil (see MR p. 152, n. 17). E 'the adoration of the' glorious tree of the cross' as the hymn that accompanies this liturgical rite, "Pange lingua proelium certaminis glorious."
E 'Benedict XVI, who still guides us in understanding the first day of the Easter Triduum. He says: "On Good Friday, which commemorates the events ranging from condemnation to death and crucifixion of Christ is a day of penance, of fasting and prayer, of participation in the Lord's Passion. The Christian Assembly, with the help of the Word of God and liturgical actions, the history of human infidelity to the divine plan, but exactly in this way, and listen again to the moving narrative of the Passion of painful Lord. Then addresses the Heavenly Father a long "prayer of the faithful," which embraces all the needs of the Church and the world.
the community adores the Cross and the Eucharist, consuming the sacred species reserved by the Lord's Supper Mass of the day before. Commenting on Good Friday, St. John Chrysostom observes: "Before the cross for contempt, but today it is something venerable, the first was a symbol of condemnation, now is the hope of salvation. It 'has truly become a source of infinite good, he freed us from 'error, it has dispelled our darkness, reconciled us with God, enemies of God has made us his family, from strangers to being its neighbors: this cross is the destruction of enmity, the source of peace, our treasure chest "(De cruce et latronico I, 1.4). [4.4.207]
Holy Saturday
E 'on the day of the great silence - because - as an old homily, "the King is asleep. The earth is silent because God made flesh has fallen asleep and awakened those who slept for centuries."
The Roman church has never set up any celebration of Christ in the tomb.
It 's the quiet celebration of the suspended time of rest, but not do-nothing.
Explain Pope Benedict: "Holy Saturday is the day when the liturgy is silent, the day of the great silence, and Christians are invited to preserve interior recollection, often difficult to cultivate in our time, to better prepare for the Easter Vigil. In many communities are organized retreats and Marian prayer meetings, as if to join the Mother of the Redeemer, who waited anxiously with confidence the resurrection of the crucified Son. " [04/04/2007]
On Easter Sunday the Resurrection of the Lord
begins with the Vigil of the Holy Night, that St. Augustine defines the mother of all vigils. It lies at the heart of the liturgical year, the center of every celebration. It represents the Totum Easter sacrament.
in fact it is celebrated not only the facts of the resurrection, but also the passion of Christ.
In fact, the Easter Vigil is the culmination of a sequence that consists of a single celebration in three days without interruption. From the start the Lord's Supper until the end of the Easter Vigil is not the usual leave of the Assembly.
The vigil is not a celebration like many others, is the most important celebration of the Christian community.
The solemn entrance of the candle in the darkness enveloped in the assembly is the ritual that characterizes sleep. The assembly part of the threefold acclamation "Christ - Light of the World."
the Easter proclamation (Exultet) is a very exciting moment.
The Liturgy the word has been enriched with the prayers 'choice', which makes it easier to understand the readings.
the Liturgy of the Word follows the Liturgy of Baptism with the renewal of baptismal promises and sprinkling with holy water of the assembly. If there are candidates for baptism here was the place the celebration of the sacrament.
The celebration continues with the Eucharist. All the cosmic world is renewed by the Paschal Mystery.
Pope Benedict helps us to understand the meaning of the Easter Vigil in the Resurrection of the Lord with these words: "At the Easter Vigil the veil of sorrow, which enveloped the Church for the death and burial of the Lord will be torn the cry of victory: Christ is risen and has overcome death forever! We will then truly understand the mystery of the Cross, "God creates wonders even in the impossible - an ancient writer - so that people know that only he can do whatever he wants. Since his death our lives, our healing from his wounds, our resurrection from his fall, his descent from our uplifting "(Anonymous Quartodecimano). Animated by a stronger faith in the heart of the Easter Vigil the newly baptized and renew the promises of our baptism. Thus experience that the Church is always alive, constantly rejuvenated, it is always beautiful and holy, because it rests on Christ, risen, dies no more. " [04/04/2006]
E 'even al'amato Pope Benedict that concludes our consideration: "The Paschal Mystery, the Holy Triduum enables us to relive not only the memory of a past reality, is the current reality, Christ today wins with his love of sin and death. Evil in all its forms, has the last word. The final triumph is of Christ, truth and love! With Him if we are willing to suffer and to die, St Paul reminds us in the Easter Vigil, his life becomes our life (cf. Rom 6:9). " [04/04/2006]

Place Greece Brian Andrew 2010
Paul, co-opted in the apostolic college by Christ himself on the road to Damascus, chosen instrument to bring his name before the Gentiles, is the greatest missionary of all times, the advocate of pagans, 's Apostle of the Gentiles, who along with Peter the Gospel message to resonate in the Mediterranean world. The apostles Peter and Paul sealed with martyrdom in Rome around the year 67, their testimony to the Master. (Aug. Roma)
Patronage: Bishops, Missionaries, and Rover scouts
Etymology: Paul = small in stature, from the Latin
Emblem: Sword
Martyrology: Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul Apostles. Simon son of Jonah and brother of Andrew, the first among the disciples professed that Jesus was the Christ, Son of the living God, from whom he was called Peter. Paul, Apostle of the Gentiles, preached to the Jews and Greeks, Christ crucified. Both in faith and love of Jesus Christ proclaiming the Gospel in Rome and died as martyrs under the Emperor Nero: the first, as tradition says, crucified upside down and buried in the Vatican at the Triumphal way, the second pierced with a sword and buried on the Via Ostiense. On this day around the world with equal honor and worship celebrating their triumph.
Saint Paul is undoubtedly the greatest missionary of all time, did not know Christ personally, but for his brilliant call on the road to Damascus, he became a disciple of the greatest, pleaded the cause of the converted pagans, was the apostle to the Gentiles, along with Peter spread the gospel message in the Mediterranean world at that time, with his words and his writings makes it the first and fundamental inculturation of the Gospel in history.
Origins and training
was born probably around 50-10 AD in Tarsus in Cilicia, now located in southern Turkey near the borders with Syria, a city in the first century was a cosmopolitan place, where they lived Greek, Anatolian, Hellenistic, Roman and a Jewish colony, whose father belonged to merchant tents, who with his family, like all people, enjoyed Roman citizenship, recognized by the Triumvir Mark Antony and then by the Emperor Augustus.
Like many Jews of that time, had two names, one Jewish Saul, meaning "prayed to God" and the other Latin or greek Paulus who was probably alluding to his short stature, Paulus became his only name, when began his preaching in the West.
knew the Hellenistic culture and learned the greek Tarsus, but his education was basically Jewish, his reasoning and his biblical exegesis, had the stamp of rabbinical school.
persecutor of Christians
As a young man was sent to Jerusalem, where he studied under Gamaliel, the most famous and wise master of the Jewish world of the time, and in Jerusalem he met the Christians as a dangerous sect within Judaism to be eradicated by any half, then he would say of himself: "Circumcised the eighth day, the stock of Israel, the tribe of Benjamin, jew by Jews, a Pharisee to the law, as a zealous persecutor Church, blameless as to righteousness which is in the law "(Phil. 3, 5-6). Around 20
completed his studies, he returned to Saul of Tarsus, where presumably it was during the public preaching of Jesus, according to the Acts of the Apostles, "he returned to Jerusalem a decade later, certainly after the Passion of Christ because it was present at the martyrdom of the martyr St. Stefano, deacon of Jerusalem, while not directly participating in the stoning of a young Christian, was among those who approved of his murder, even kept their clothes.
In "Acts of the Apostles, Saul is described as a relentless persecutor Christian, proud supporter of the traditions of their fathers, and his name was pronounced with fear by the Christians, pulls' em in shelters, threw them in prison, testified against them, his blind religious fanaticism, many of them forced to flee from Jerusalem to Damascus. Saul
But do not let go, even on horseback with a squad of soldiers, with the consent of the Sanhedrin, who also rode to Damascus to seek them out and stir in the Syrian city of persecution against them.
Conversion
And on the road to Damascus, the Lord revealed himself to quell'accanito enemy suddenly, telling the 'Acts', a light from heaven, wrapped it and falling from his horse, and heard a voice saying to him: "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?". He said, 'Who are you Lord? "And said:" I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. Come on rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you do "(Acts 9, 3-7).
The men who accompanied him, were dumbfounded because they had seen him fall, perhaps also saw the sudden flare, but without understanding something, Saul was still groping with no view and was accompanied to Damascus, where he remained for three days waiting for someone, fasting and upset by what had happened.
In those days knew the tiny Christian community of the place, which should have been imprisoned, on the third day he appeared their boss Ananias, persuaded by a parallel revelation, who told him: "Saul, brother, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the path by which you came, has sent me to you, because you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. "
Anania said that bade her hands healed and then baptized him, Saul stayed several days in Damascus, where the synagogue stood, witnessing what had happened, the Christian community or joy, while the Jewish remained puzzled, thinking she had lost head.
was his first disappointment, Ananias told him: "God of our fathers, appointed you to know his will, to see Christ and hear the words of his mouth, because you will be a witness to all men. "
Since then, one might say, was born Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, and he decided to retreat into the wilderness to bring order into his thoughts and ponder more deeply the gift received, he spent three years here in absolute concentration.
Perhaps at this time, it happened as he himself says in Second Corinthians (12: 2-4) "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago - whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, I know God - was caught up to the third heaven. And I know that this man was kidnapped in Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which is not lawful for man to utter. "
Indeed Paul had not lived with Jesus as the Apostles, and then gradually he had not received all the necessary training for the ministry.
But this, the Master make up with routine work like lightning on the road to Damascus and making him contemplate the divine reality in paradise, without this event, Paul could not teach you how to do and did and taught.
meetings and reports with the Apostles
Comforted by this light, after retiring he returned to Damascus and began preaching with enthusiasm, inspiring the wrath of the pagans, who considered him a renegade and tried to kill him, Paul was forced to flee, descending at night in a basket from the walls of the city helped by some Christians, was about the year 39.
took refuge in Jerusalem, he stopped here a couple of weeks meeting with the head of the Apostles Peter and James, to whom he exhibited his new life.
The Apostles understood and stayed with him every day for hours, talking about Jesus, but the Christian community in Jerusalem was suspicious about him, remembering the fierce persecution which had operated, only thanks to the guarantee of Barnabas, a Levite ex of great authority, doubts were dispelled, and it was accepted.
Even in Jerusalem, within fifteen days of his tenure, Paul tried to do some conversion, but this piqued his missionary activities, the Jews and Christians worried at the end not being at home, first went to Caesarea and then returned to Tarsus in Cilicia, his hometown, taking the trade of weaver.
From 39 to 43 there were no reports on its activities, until Barnabas, sent by the apostles to organize the nascent Christian community of Antioch, passed him by inviting him to follow him here forever Paul gave the name of Saul, because he was convinced that the His mission was not so much among the Jews, but among other nations that the Jews called it 'kind'; in Antioch the disciples of Christ, they were named for the first time as "Christians."
At the end of the year 43, Paul and Barnabas returned to Jerusalem, to bring economic aid to the community and return to Antioch, brought with them the young John Mark, son of the landlady, the widow Mary, who hosted the Apostles in their steps to Jerusalem, he was the nephew of Barnabas and the same future evangelist.
first apostolic
Barnabas and Paul decided to take in 45, a missionary trip to other regions, then left for Cyprus with Mark, which was originally from the island of Barnabas, you do not know the extent of their evangelization, Here Paul had a falling out with the magician Elimas; from Cyprus the three made the journey back to Antioch, where several towns in Asia Minor, came to Perga contingent in the so-called 'flight of Mark', frightened by the difficulties of a long journey , left his two companions and returned to Jerusalem.
Paul and Barnabas went anyway and Lystra, Paul healed a lame man, the people mistook them for Jupiter and Mercury and wanted to offer them a sacrifice. The dispute
observance of Mosaic Law
Returning to Antioch, satisfied with the results, the two apostles found the community in turmoil, because some Christians from Jerusalem, reported that discussion was the concept that Christian baptism, not the Jewish circumcision is not no good, so Paul and Barnabas to clarify the matter went to Jerusalem to the Apostles, causing what was called the First Council of the Church.
Peter insisted that salvation comes by grace of the Lord Jesus, who had made no distinction between Jews and uncircumcised non-Jewish believers, Paul for his part explained the wonderful results obtained from the 'polite' and declared himself in favor of the non-mandatory observance of the Mosaic law, unlike many Christians are former Pharisees, who refused to give up their practices, observed from birth, such as circumcision, abstaining from meat impure, not the promiscuity with pagans or former pagans, etc..
the end it was the Apostle James to make a proposal, accepted by everyone, not converted from paganism to impose the Mosaic Law, whose practice remains optional for former Jews. A
Paul, Barnabas, Silas and Judas Thaddaeus, was given the task of communicating to the faithful of the various communities for decisions. But the continued controversy among Christians of the two origins, until the Church, has established itself in the greek-roman world, became independent from the influence of the synagogue.
According apostolic journey
It was in 50 and Paul decided to leave with Barnabas for a new journey in Asia Minor, Barnabas proposed to take with them their nephew Marco, but Paul strongly opposed, not to have problems as it happened in the first travel.
stiffened their position, at the end of the two apostles were divided, Mark went with Barnabas to Cyprus again to evangelize and Paul Silas (Silvanus O) went to the new route.
The apostolic journey lasted up to 53, it fell to Greece, Macedonia where Paul evangelized Filippi, here the two men were flogged and imprisoned, but after an earthquake in the night and the conversion of the jailer, the morning after they were freed.
then went to Thessalonica, Berea and Athens, where the learned Paul's Areopagus speech was a failure, after a pause of a year and a half in Corinth, returned to Antioch.
third apostolic journey
In 53 or 54, began the third great journey of Paul, first went to Ephesus, stopping three years, his preaching led to a decrease in the worship of the goddess Artemis and the sacred business linked to it had collapsed, this caused a popular uprising, which Paul came out unscathed, the community was entrusted to his disciple Timothy.
From Ephesus he was back in Macedonia for three months in Corinth, escaping to a planned ambush on the ship on which they had board, continued his journey to earth accompanied by a sudden by Luke who made a detailed report. He visited with emotion
Christian communities of Asia Minor who had founded, they can no longer present review.
The last stop was Caesarea where the prophet Agabus foretold the arrest and imprisonment, and from there came to Jerusalem at the end of May 58 brought the donations collected here in his last journey.
Events judicial
In Jerusalem, as well as the joy of the community, he found a tense atmosphere to it, resulting in unconditional admission to the aforementioned question pagans converted to Christianity.
Suspicions about him, by the Jews were many, was eventually accused of having introduced in the temple profane, not a Christian, a Jew, this Trogiuno; what caused the reaction of the crowd and only the intervention of the tribune Claudius Lysias saved him from being lynched, but convinced that Paul was an Egyptian affected, scourged him, despite his protestations that this was unlawful, being a Roman citizen.
brought before the Sanhedrin, Paul skillfully provoked a conflict between the Sadducees and Pharisees, so that Lysias him back in jail and the next day, wanting to leave the thorny issue, he sent the Apostle under escort to Caesarea, by attorney Anthony Felice, who while dealing with a very slight prison, detained him for two years, hoping for a ransom.
Only his successor Porcius Festus in 60, prudent to instruct a case against him in Jerusalem, but Paul resisted and as a "civis Romanus," he appealed to the emperor.
soon as it was possible, was delivered to the centurion Julius to be transferred to Rome, accompanied by Luke and Aristarchus, the trip at the time adventurous, was stopped in Malta because of a shipwreck, after three months of rest, he went on to subsequent stages in Syracuse, Reggio Calabria, Pozzuoli, Hole Appius and Three Taverns, arriving in Rome in 61.
Here was allowed to stay in a rented room in a sort of probation, but contacts with Christians, awaiting a trial that did not ever for the non-arrival of the accusers from Palestine. After
here the story of the Acts of the Apostles, "the final stages of his life, can be reconstructed from a few hints of his letters, probably was freed, because in 64 was not Paul in Rome during Nero's persecution, perhaps because East and in Spain for his fourth apostolic visit.
We know that the disciples left Titus in Crete, and Timothy in Ephesus, to complete the evangelization he began.
Martyrdom
In 66, perhaps at Nicopolis, he was again arrested and taken to Rome, where he was left alone by his disciples, some were far to evangelize new people, someone else had left the faith of Christ, Christians, terrified by the persecution of Rome, had left him or so, only Luke was with him. Paul
now presaged the end and gave a moving appeal to Timothy: "As for me, my blood is being shed in libation and the time has come to set sail ... Try to come early to me because Demas has forsaken me ... , ASC has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because I will be useful for the Ministry ... ".
This time the Roman court sentenced him to death for Christian, was beheaded on June 29 is traditionally a one-year sometime, maybe 67, being a Roman citizen, he was spared the crucifixion, the ruling took place in a place called "Swamp Save" at Rome (later known as Tre Fontane, the name derived from the three fountains that flowed when the severed head bounced three times on the ground), the Christians took up his body by burying it on the Via Ostiense, where he was raised the magnificent Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.
Worship
There is no certainty whether the two apostles Peter and Paul, have died simultaneously or in different years, it is certain however, that 29 June 258, under the Emperor Valerian (253-260) the bodies of the two apostles were transported in the Catacombs of San Sebastiano, from profane to store them, almost a century later, Pope s. Sylvester I (314-335) did bring back the relics of Paul in the first place of burial, and on that occasion the Emperor Constantine I, he built a church on the tomb, turned into a Basilica in 395, which survived until 1823, when a violent fire destroyed it, in the same place the current basilica was rebuilt.
The Latin Church celebrates the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, patron saints of Rome on June 29, because even if they were the first to bring faith in the capital empire, they really are the 'founders' of Christian Rome.
The liturgical feast of Sts. Peter and Polo was included in santoriale, well before the feast of Christmas and after the Holy Virgin. Are set to s. John the Baptist, the saints mentioned more than once and with greater solemnity, because Jan. 25 is reminiscent of the Conversion of St. Paul, 22 February, the Chair of St. Peter, November 18 Dedication of the Basilicas of Saints Peter and Paul, as well as the solemnity of June 29.
His doctrine
Its 14 'letters' are part of the 'Vulgate', the Latin version of the Bible and are the essential doctrine of the Church addressed a community of Christians of the time (Philippians, Colossians, Galatians, Corinthians, Romans, Jews, Thessalonians, Ephesians), or individual disciples (Titus, Timothy, Philemon), Paul made them in his thoughts proclaiming the Gospel, which he defined as follows: "I have not received nor have I learned from men, but by revelation of Jesus Christ." In
they deal with fundamental issues such as faith, baptism, justification by faith, sin, humanity, the Holy Spirit, the problem of unbelief and the conversion of the Jews, the nature of the apostolic ministry, the scandal of incest, the issue of marriage and virginity, the celebration of the Eucharist, the use of gifts, Christian love, the resurrection of the dead, the tribulations and hopes of the Apostles.
Again, the mystery of the Incarnation, Christ and the Church, universal salvation, the humility of Christ, and his supremacy over the universe, the commitment of the faithful for their personal salvation, the second coming of Christ and of 'Antichrist, the delineation of the figure and work of Christ, under the terms of the Old Testament, sacrifice, worship, priesthood, temple and, finally, practical lessons to hold a community, defending the cause of a slave fled.
S. Paul in the art and patronage
He was short, with hooked nose and bleary eyes, impetuous in dealing with the new mission which was intended, but not dismissive of their rights, abiding by the rules and laws; Paul art was instead depicted variously according to the whim of the artist, mature or old, with beard and mustache and hair with a crown around a large bald forehead, even following the directions of the apocryphal "Acts of Paul and Thecla," considered his disciples to Iconium.

Irritated Labia By Brazilian Wax
Here is some information from the site www.laogai.it, simply by asking a question: "Despite the tragedies of the Nazi concentration camps, the Soviet gulag and sinkholes, as may happen that yet such things? What happened to the conscience of man? "
WHAT ARE THE
Laogai?
The concentration camps of the third millennium
I are Laogai camps in China by Mao Zedong established in 1950 following the example of the USSR where they were in full operation the Gulag. They were of Soviet experts to help Mao Zedong in China to organize the Laogai. While the Nazi camps were closed in 1945 and GU-LAG Soviets have abandoned the early '90s, the Chinese Laogai are still operating today in the third millennium.
in the Laogai, more 'than a thousand in China today, millions of people, men, women and children are currently forced to work
forced into inhumane conditions to economic advantage of the Chinese government and several multinational
producing or investing in China.
Laogai are still functional to the totalitarian state of China for a dual purpose: to
. perpetuating machine of intimidation and terror, with the brainwashed for political opponents;
b. provide an inexhaustible workforce at no cost.

What is washing brain?
forcing people against their will
The peculiarity of the Laogai system, compared with previous models, the Soviets and the Nazis, is the systematic brainwashing of the prisoner. This is accomplished through the daily political indoctrination on the truths foolproof means of communism and self-criticism.
political indoctrination is done with "study sessions" per day, which take place after the long hours and hard labor. Self-criticism, in contrast, place in front of guards and other inmates and is intended to "reform" the personality of self-incrimination. First, you should list and analyze their own faults. Then one has to acknowledge publicly that it has been committed, by reforming its own personality, to become a "new socialist person." E 'must finally show - with the facts - their loyalty to the Party, often denouncing their friends and relatives, who in turn are forced to acknowledge and condemn the prisoner.
This continues today in the third millennium. Lu Decheng, one of three famous young people who threw eggshells filled with paint on the portrait of Mao Zedong in Tiananmen Square on May 23, 1989, detained in the Laogai for nine years, during his interview with news agency Asianews, June 4, 2007, describes his experience in the Laogai. Lu Decheng said "I spent nine years in the Laogai. It was actually a factory producing cars. We were forced into slave labor for 15-16 hours a day .. After work we had to follow the 'study sessions', forced indoctrination, which would turn us into people confident in socialism. "
Harry Wu says: when you enter the field, the first thing is to confess his crime. We must repeatedly tell them their crime. Never forget any detail. The confession is of primary importance, because it destroys their dignity. We must say 'I'm a criminal, I am guilty, I accept the reform of thought, I want to change myself, I want to be loyal to Chairman Mao'
What are the conditions of life in the Laogai?
Abuse of any kind on prisoners
Conditions of life in the Laogai are horrible. The working time of up to 16 hours a day, according to the type of activity (industry, mines or fields). Safety and hygiene do not exist. The couch is on the bare stone. The food is inadequate and increasingly administered in proportion to the work performed. Hunger is the faithful companion of the prisoner. Lucky those who work in the fields because it can find snakes, frogs and burrows of rats with soy or wheat grains to eat. The unfortunate prisoner who has worked in the city. The beatings and torture are on the agenda. Frequent electric shocks and suspension by the arms. Manfred Nowak, the UN envoy who inspected In December 2005, some prisons in China, has denounced the ongoing abuse of torture and called on the Beijing government to eliminate capital punishment for non-violent crimes or for economic reasons. In his report of March 10, 2006 has also denounced the confessions extracted under torture. The punishment also included in the Laogai forced isolation for several days, almost always without food, in small cells of about two to three cubic meters, together with their droppings. It is not surprising that such a climate of abuse, hunger, abuse and bullying continue even induce prisoners to suicide.

The oldest Valentine's Day is an official document of the Church of secc.V-VI, where it appears his death anniversary. Still in sec. VIII another document tells us some details of the martyrdom, torture, decapitation night, the tomb by the disciples Proculo, Efebo and Apollonius, following the martyrdom of these and their burial. Other texts of the century. VI, say that Valentine's Day, national bishop of Terni and the 197 who became famous for the sanctity of his life, charity and humility, and zeal for the apostolate and for the miracles he did, he was invited to Rome by a craton , greek and latin speaker, because the cured the sick child for several years. Healed the young man converted him to Christianity with his family and to the Greek scholars of Latin letters Proculo, Efebo and Apollonius, with his son of the Prefect of the city. Imprisoned under the Emperor Aurelian was off to Rome. February 14 was 273. His body was taken to Terni LXIII mile of the Via Flaminia. He was among the first bishop of Terni, consecrated by the Bishop of Foligno in S. Feliciano 197. Preceded by S. Pellegrino and S. Antimo, brother of SS.Cosmas and Damian.
WORSHIP
Valentine was buried in a cemetery near the present Basilica. It 'sure that cemetery already existed in the pagan age. From this area some of the oldest exhibits date back to the SECC. IV-V. These are securities burial. The most interesting piece is the sarcophagus in the "heads aligned" now preserved in the IVth century Palazzo Carrara. It is the traditional early Christian sarcophagus in which are carved around the figure of the deceased praying, Scenes from the life of Christ. The first basilica was built in IVth century as the location of the building, outside the city walls and cemetery area and over the tomb of the martyr. Destroyed by the Goths, with the city in the sec. VI, was rebuilt in the VII century. In confirmation of this last building was the discovery of a coin of Heraclius of 641. At the time of the first construction or reconstruction of the VII century, probably dates back to the altar to the crypt arcosolium, that is, under an alcove covered with an arch and over the tomb of the martyr. Around the VII century the church was entrusted to the Benedictines. In 742 there occurred the historic meeting between Pope Zacharias departed from Rome to Terni and the old Lombard king Liutprando. The choice of the Basilica of St. Valentine was made by the king because that is revered within the remains of the glorious martyr, which he described the value of miraculous. From that meeting the king gave the pope some Italian cities including Sutri.
Here again, the pope ordered the bishop of Terni, whose death (760) the city was left without the pastor until 1218. In this period URPOSE of the basilica was the first raids of the Normans and Saracens and Hungarians of the inhabitants of Narni boasted that claims to certain territories and the Basilica. Honorius III in 1219 we went to the Basilica and delivered to the local clergy. From this year onwards we no longer know anything about the condition of the Basilica. At the beginning of 1600 had to look dilapidated.
reconnaissance
In 1605 Bishop Giovanni Antonio Onorati, obtained permission from Pope Paul V, he began researching the body of the saint. They had lots of time in Rome the research of the first martyrs of the Church and to authenticate their existence and to enhance the worship. The body of St. Valentine was soon found in a leaden box contained within marble urn rough outside but inside carved with reliefs. The head was separated from the body to confirm death by beheading. She was taken immediately to the Cathedral. No one in town wanted the body of their martyred mother rest in the church. Even the Congregation of Rites was favorable because the relics should be venerated, where they had been buried. So it was decided to build a new basilica.
NEW BASILICA
Work on the construction of the Basilica began in 1606 and lasted a few years but since 1609 this could be officiated by PP.Carmelitani called to preserve it. In 1618 the body of the holy bishop and martyr was solemnly given in its Basilica. In 1625 the Archduke Leopold of Austria, to Rome, visited the Basilica and assumed the costs for the construction of a new marble altar, completed in 1632, pledging to make the Basilica a part of the skull of the Saint given several hundred years to an ancestor. Behind the main altar is the choir with the "confession" Valentine, an altar built over the grave of the martyr. At the center is an oval painting that commemorates the martyrdom of the saint, by the end of the century. XVII. The episode of Duke Leopold provided the occasion for a radical renovation of the temple, carried out thanks to the work of many of Terni. The Basilica occurs in a pattern dear to theorists Counter-around great nave with side chapels, the transept are two large chapels, chancel and behind the altar of the martyr with the "confession." The facade of the seventeenth century is enlivened by pilasters, surmounted by a large portal with a large window. The plaster statues depicting the top of the patron saints of the city and Valentino Anastasio (+649) and were added in the XIX century. The interior is enlivened by large pilasters with Ionic capitals with garlands. These support a lintel protruding serrated. Two side chapels were the property of some families in the city. The most interesting are the chapels of the transept. The right one is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel and was the private chapel of the family Sciamanna. In fact, the sides are the tombs of several members including some Brunoro, bishop of Caserta, who died in 1647. At the center is the beautiful altarpiece with St. Michael defeating the devil of the Roman artist Giuseppe Cesari called the "Cavalier d'Arpino. Exponent of a painting cultured and refined, docile to the demands of the Church, returning to favor clarity of expression and decoration in the depiction of holy figures. This image is a clear revival of classicism of Raphael balance of the pose and attitude determination. The other chapel is dedicated to the holy Carmelite Teresa of Avila. The beautiful central altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child with SS.Giuseppe artist Lucas and Teresa De La Haye, monaco Carmelite of the second half of the century. XVII. The artist was the main purpose of the decoration of the basilica. In fact, besides this leaves other works including the beautiful central blade with Valentine's Day calls for the protection of the Virgin at Terni and once Adoration of the Shepherds and Adoration of the Magi. Also for the church realizes the paintings with the four evangelists and a series with the Martyrs of Terni (Catulo, Saturninus, Lucius and disciples of the Great Valentino) preserved in the nave. His style is fully Baroque figures covered with luxurious drapes flapping in the wind, soaked a warm color that also suggests an influence on the art of Venetian painting, perhaps filtered by Rubens in Rome. At the center of the choir is a large painting of the Crucifixion where transpire figures imbued with great drama. A final masterpiece can be seen in one of the chapels of the nave. This is a painting of the Madonna and Child with SS. Lawrence, John the Baptist and Bartholomew in 1635 by Andrea Polinori, city of Todi. The inspiration is the artist Caravaggio, but he is able to stabilize and the purification of any aggression.
The environment presents the ancient altar of the crypt to arcosolium (placed in a niche above the barrel-vaulted tomb of the martyr), in which were found the relics of St. Valentine. Some of the findings were gathered in the Valentinian next to the crypt.
