KwiBritish Isles, ukubulela ngenxa yesivuno esiyimpumelelo kuye kwabhiyozelwa ukususela kwixesha lobuhedeni. Imithendeleko yokuvuna ngokwesithethe ibanjwa ngeCawa kufutshane, okanye ngeNyanga yokuVuna - oko kukuthi, inyanga epheleleyo eyenzeka kufutshane ne-equinox yasekwindla (malunga ne-23 kaSeptemba). Kumazwe amaninzi, esi siganeko seenkwenkwezi singqamana nexesha lokuvuna yaye lixesha elibalulekileyo lezithethe nemibhiyozo yonqulo. Ukususela kuMeán Fómhair kwi-Eire yangaphambi kobuKristu, ukuya kubakhi beepiramidi eChichen Itza eYucatan, ukusa kwizithethe zamaHigan zokukhumbula eJapan, esi siganeko seenkwenkwezi kudala singunobangela wokukhuthaza nokoyika unqulo. Umbulelo awuphelelanga kwabangcwele – nkqu nezizwe zehlabathi ziyayibona le mvakalelo yobuntu. Ngokomzekelo, uSuku lweHlabathi loMbulelo lubhiyozelwa rhoqo ngoSeptemba 21; yadalwa ngo-1977 yi-United Nations Meditation Group njengexesha lokubhiyozela ubukho bethu, iminqweno, amaqhawe asekuhlaleni, izalamane, abahlobo kunye nazo zonke izinto ezincinci ebomini ezizisela ulonwabo.

EProvence, isitiya seentyatyambo saseFransi, abantu banokuninzi abanombulelo ngako-imihlaba emihle abathi iinkosi ze-Impressionist zingafi kwiseyile, amasimi e-lavender aqhola amaphandle, kunye nezitrato ezinamatye anqabileyo ezikhokelela kwimithombo yendalo kunye nezakhiwo ezinomtsalane. Apha, ukwindla yintlakohlaza yesibini xa igqabi ngalinye liyintyatyambo egolide. Embindini walo mhlaba wentsomi likomkhulu lawo lamandulo, i-Aix-en-Provence, eyakhula njengeziko lobugcisa kunye nokufunda ngexesha leminyaka ephakathi. Imbali yayo njengendawo yokuphumla yendalo ibuyela emva kumawaka eminyaka ukuya kwi-122 BC, xa inkampu yaseRoma kaGaius Sextus Calvinus yaseka esi sixeko semithombo eshushu njengeAquae Sextiae. Ukutyhubela iminyaka, amagama athi Aquae Sextiae adityaniswa kwigama elinye elithi Aix (elibizwa njengonobumba wesiNgesi X).

Ngokutsho kwembali yamaFrentshi, uMary Magdalene, umntu wokuqala owazibonela ngawakhe ukuvuswa kukaYesu, weza eProvence ngephenyane elincinane lingenalo umphini okanye imasti, waza wemisa kwindawo ebizwa ngokuba yiSaintes-Maries-de-la-Mer kufuphi neArles; washumayela iProvence, kwaye lathi lakufika ilixa lokufa kwakhe, wathwalwa ziingelosi wasiwa eAix nakwindawo yokufundisa yaseSaint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, apho abahambi ngezonqulo abavela kwihlabathi liphela beza kunqula izinto zakhe. Isiko lesikhephe esincinci sihlala sigxininiswe ngokuqinileyo kwinkcubeko ye-Aixian.

Ngo-1629, isibetho esikhulu se-bubonic sagubungela iDuchy yaseMilan, emva koko saya eProvence, apho sayitshabalalisa iAix. Abo babenemali yokwenza oko, babaleka. Ngomhla we-11 kaJanuwari, ngo-1630, enye yeenkokeli zedolophu eziseleyo, uMonsieur Martelly wabhengeza isibhambathiso kwiNtombi Enyulu yaseSeds, umxhasi ongcwele wesixeko sase-Aix: Sindisa u-Aix kwisibetho, kwaye siya kunikela umbulelo kuwe ngonaphakade. NgoSeptemba waloo nyaka, isibetho sadamba, yaye icawa yasiphawula esi siganeko kumsitho woMbulelo.

I-Alte Pinakothek Museum of Fine Arts eMunich indlu enye yeengqokelela ezidumileyo zemizobo yeeMasters eziDala; ikwanawo nombhalo-ngqangi owabhalwa ngumfundisi waseCapuchin ogama linguBonaventure de Six-Four ngeminyaka yee-1600s, “Izithethe zeCawa nemibhiyozo yobufundisi eProvence.” Umbhalo-ngqangi wamaxesha aphakathi uchaza i-chalice emile okwephenyane (câlisse) yewayini apho amaqebengwana e-almond agalelwa ukuze asasazwe ngexesha lobunzima. Izonka zealmondi zibizwa ngokuba ziicalissons, kwaye ziye zaba yinto ekhethekileyo eAix en Provence; zenziwe ngentlama yealmond egayiweyo ( pâte d'amande ), iswekile kunye neecantaloupes ezilekesekileyo, ukugqatswa kweswekile ekhazimlayo, zonke zondlalwe phezu kwephetshana elisicaba elibunjwe ngephenyane (njengomamkeli-ndwendwe wamaKatolika) njengesiseko.
Iintsapho ezizizityebi kunye nabenzi bezobisi babonakalisa umbulelo wabo ngokunika icawa iicalissons endaweni yamaqebengwana anqabileyo aqhelekileyo. La maculo omthendeleko, asikelelwe nguBhishophu Omkhulu, asasazwa kwabathembekileyo, abacula ingoma ethi "Venite Ad Calicem" [Yiza eChalice]. Ukususela ngo-1630, isixeko sase-Aix-en-Provence siye sagcina isithembiso saso sombulelo ngokukhalisa iintsimbi zecawa ngomhla wokuqala kuSeptemba. Imisitho yeentsikelelo yaminyaka le yayiqhutyelwa kwicawa iNotre-Dame de la Seds, eyayiyindawo yokuqala yokuhlala yoobhishophu baseProvence. Isithethe saqhubeka de saphazanyiswa yiRevolution.

Phambi kweRevolution, ngo-1757-58, uJean-Pancrace Chastel waqingqa umfanekiso ohonjisiweyo wombulelo kwigayidi esemantla ye-L'Ancienne Halle aux Grains. Le mifanekiso iqingqiweyo imela uSaturn, uthixo omkhulu wamaRoma owongamela ezolimo nexesha lokuvuna, ekhatshwa nguthixokazi uCybele, ongumfanekiso woMhlaba ochumileyo. I-Saturn, ekukhanyeni kwendoda endala enesithsaba ngeengcongolo, iphumla kwi-urn, apho umlambo uphuma umlambo iRhone. Uphethe iphini lokubheqa ukumela ukuhamba. UCybele umele umlambo waseDurance, kwaye ubambe i-cornucopia ephuphumayo kwisandla sakhe sasekhohlo. Lo mbulelo wokubulela ukwindawo ebalaseleyo kumbindi wesixeko – iPlace de l'Hotel de Ville (iHolo yesiXeko). Abantu baseAix baziwa ngombulelo ongazenzisiyo.

Ngoku ikunyaka wayo we-16, iAix isaqhubeka nokusikelela ezi zonka ezimise okwephenyane kwiBénédiction des Calissons d'Aix, ukukhumbula isibhambathiso sikaMartelly sowe-1630. Iicalissons: ICathédrale St-Sauveur ngo-10:30 kusasa, kunye ne-Église de Saint-Jean de Malthe ngo-3:00 emva kwemini.

ICathédrale lilitye lesikhumbuzo lesizwe; isakhiwo sangoku sibuyela kwi-5th inkulungwane. Ngokwesithethe sobuKristu, icawa yasekuqaleni kwesi siza yasekwa nguSaint Maximinus waseAix, owafika eProvence esuka kwiLizwe eliNgcwele kunye noMariya waseMagadala ngesikhephe sikaLazaro. UMaximin wakha icawa ethobekileyo kwindawo yecathedral ekhoyo kwaye wayinikezela kuMsindisi oNgcwele (i-Saint Sauveur). Sakhenketha kwicathedral, enonxibelelwano lobuqu kuthi.

Utatomkhulu wam wama-21, uRaimond Bérenger IV, uCount of Provence, kunye nosapho lwakhe baya kule cawa. Wayeneentombi ezine, zonke zendele ookumkani. Ezimbini zeentombi zakhe ngookhokho bam kumasebe ahlukeneyo: U-Eleanor watshata noHenry III, uKumkani waseNgilani, kwaye uMarguerite watshata noLouis IX, ukumkani waseFransi. Imbali ebalaseleyo yecathedral yindawo yokubhaptiza yaseMerovingian yenkulungwane ye-5, enesitya esine-octagonal - ngamnye kookumkanikazi abane babhaptizwa apha ngelixa abantwana.

Udade oselula, uBeatrice, watshata noCharles I waseAnjou, uKumkani waseSicily. Njengesikhumbuzo sikayise, uCharles noBeatrice bakha icawa ye-gothic yokugcina ingcwaba likaRaimond Bérenger IV: I-Église de Saint-Jean de Malthe. Apha, imizimba ka-Alfonso II, uRaimond noBeatrice iphumle ngoxolo, kwaye amangcwaba abo aphawulwe ngemifanekiso eqingqiweyo yebhastile elinobubele. Le nkonzo intle yeGothic isingatha umbhiyozo wesibini weecalissons.

U-Aix ubambe umngcelele “we-passo-Carriero” ukutyhubela isixeko sakudala, ebonisa uMfanekiso weNenekazi lethu laseCalissons ngaphambili. Abathembekileyo banxibe iimpahla zamandulo zeProvençal, kwaye ngentsimbi yesithathu emva kwemini bangena e-Église de Saint-Jean de Malthe ngeengobozi zeekhalisi ukuze basikelelwe nguBhishophu. Emva kwentsikelelo, ii-calissons zisasazwa malunga nemithombo ye-Place des Quatre Dauphins.

Intsomi yendawo ithi ii-calissons zaqanjwa ngo-1454 ngumpheki kaRené I d'Anjou, uKumkani waseNaples kunye noBalo lweProvence ukubhiyozela umtshato wakhe noJeanne de Laval. Ngexesha lemithendeleko uJeanne wabuza igama leelekese, kwaye uKumkani Olungileyo waphendula kwiProvençal "Di calins souns (zii-hugs)" [kuwe]. Libali elithandanayo ngendlela iilekese zafumana ngayo igama, kodwa umbhali uCanale di Martino, kwingxelo yakhe yeVenetians (1275) ukhankanya ngokukodwa igama lezinto ezikhethekileyo ezibizwa ngokuba yi "calissons" ezenziwe ngokufanayo. Ukuthathela ingqalelo ukuba abantu baseVenice yayingabantu abahamba elwandle ababexabisa iigondolas kunye nezinye izinto ezinje ngesikhephe, kusenokwenzeka ukuba iicalisson ezimile okwephenyane zazikho kwakude kudala ngaphambi komtshato wasebukhosini.

Izivuno ezininzi bezisoloko zingumthombo wokubhiyozelwa e-Aix. Ibonakala kwangoko kwiimarike eziphuma rhoqo kusasa kuyo yonke idolophu endala. Sifumene iisepha zodidi ezenziwe ngelavenda, ubusi obunencasa kwiibhotile ezinomtsalane, iintyatyambo ezisandula kusikwa, imifuno evuthiweyo kunye nazo zonke iintlobo zezinto ezinomtsalane ezithengiswa ngabathengisi phantsi kweeambrela zeseyile. I-Aix inemakethi yomfama yonke imihla kwindawo ethile esixekweni – umtyeleli udinga kuphela ukufumanisa apho akhoyo. Ndavuya gqitha kukuthenga iibhotile ezinkulu zeoli yelavenda kubavelisi; Ndisebenzisa ioyile ukudibanisa iziqholo eziqhelekileyo.

Sinokufunda kubantu base-Aix – ubomi abulinganiswa ngempefumlo oyiphefumlayo, kodwa ngamaxesha athatha umoya wakho. Ukuma kwintsimi yezigidi zikajongilanga yenye yezo zihlandlo endazifumana eProvence. Ukuba ufuna indawo yobuhle, uya kuyifumana e-Aix-en-Provence.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

From Meán Fómhair in pre-Christian Eire, to the pyramid builders at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan, to Higan rituals of remembrance in Japan, this astronomical event has long been a catalyst of religious inspiration and awe.
In Provence, the flower garden of France, the people have much to be grateful about – gorgeous landscapes that Impressionist masters immortalized on canvas, fields of lavender that perfume the countryside, and cobblestone streets that lead to natural fountains and charming buildings.
On January 11, 1630, one of the few remaining town leaders, Monsieur Martelly proclaimed a vow to the Holy Virgin of Seds, patron saint of the city of Aix.
