Sant Jordi «El Vellet».
Let's meet at what party, according to the theoretical definition of the word, means joy, fun, religious solemnity, public rejoicing, etc., etc. We have no objections to such an opinion and for our part we are going to elaborate on the matter., saving as is natural, our unconditional adherence to a party like ours of Moors and Christians.
There is no self-respecting town that does not consider the celebration of its major festivals as something consubstantial with its life.. That mass that someone chose to call “thick municipal crowd” acts in them and nothing occurs to us to express an opinion against it since we consider it to be a forceful reality.. However, in our case and specifically in our time, We are interested in establishing certain premises on the matter; just a few questions. Does it matter – and we think it matters a lot- preserve a certain old-fashioned spirit in the development of our Moors and Christians festivals? And... Does the fact of adapting to new times mean that we have to admit what we, could be beneficial for other currents but ends up being harmful, planes, for our celebrations? Everyone can formulate their answer, depending on your situation in the case. We would try to break down the matter, but the limitation of space recommends a certain parsimony.
Just bordering on the topic, and removing from our minds a certain early riser pessimism, Let's consider that our party was created to be that, “fiesta”, compendium of various popular performances, with a certain wide sleeve regarding “joy and fun”. However, by going beyond the technical definition that we referred to at the beginning in some aspects and in certain cases reaching personal actions - there is a word, very in fashion, that struggles to emerge, reckless- We think it would be very useful to review, a little examination of conscience- of festive conscience it is understood- and cling to our old ways, children, innocent if you will, but devoid of pathogenic germs that can undermine the health of our parties.
Possibly the spoken word would accurately reflect the content of these lines. The writing must be limited to its purpose and refer to the criteria of the good reader.. But at the end of this work we want to state that our Moors and Christians festivals will never be more loved., most esteemed, most respected, that when celebrated with the traditional sympathy system, cordiality, lordship and panache that our old Comparsas have been developing so well and that fits so well with our old and beloved Bañeres. Saint George will thank us.
