THE STREET OF THE CROSS IN FESTIVALS
¡Tatariiii.,…! A bugle sounded in the street calling on its neighbors. Who blew the bugle? Ancient fables say that the festival bugles are played by angels, inspiring the people to celebrate their exploits.…..
Every street in our town is dedicated to a Saint, and with the Saint the reason for the celebration. And why are the years of silence that have deprived many generations of this emotion?
Let us not discuss matters that could unsettle us in conflicts.. Every act and every fact has its spring and autumn. There are minds that are exhausted, that they get fed up; years pass, and then they come back in abundance. life is like that; but when there is “sentimental substance”, when there are roots of love, and the sap is healthy, and the land is good, with little cultivation the rose bush blooms.
Wait…! A bugle sounded in the street, on the night of we don't know what day inspiring the neighbors in the events of the past. Gray heads remember, Y “they draw” verbally images of that yesterday. Roots of love that bloom!!
¿Santo? Reason? The Cross! Is not the Cross the Supreme Symbol? If they hail her, it is in our sorrows, let's exalt it in festivity. So let's have a moment of joy also covered with the fervent act of prayer..
