ayerbeceneienses
Hello. As you all know, this weekend is over by fire for the feast of San Pablo. The weather was lurking all day but in the end the tradition prevailed and the weather (it sputtered at times but the place we sheltered from the wind) allowed that we might all gang together for dinner, drink and have fun. The sausage, chorizo, bacon, loin, toast, the aubergines, courgettes, peppers ... everything, chulla the last bone was vividly consumed by us. In addition, along with a good wine, vineyard reserve Anton Murillo, dinner was gradually brightening until it was time for mixed drinks. We drank and talked around the fire without noticing the cold near the above, we warmed back and forth as it should at this time and this holiday, a St. Paul without cold is not a St. Paul, and went down to SENPA after a while, to dance and loosen our particular smell of smoke, another of the traditions of this holiday that dates back to the seventeenth century. Thus was spending the night, the fire SENPA of SENPA to Lazcorra Lazcorra and home, finishing morning with a more traditional night this our noble and most faithful town of Ayer.
popular participation was low and only a dozen fires were to be seen on the streets of the town. The tradition is waning and people should not let the people lose one of the most animated holiday squares and streets of the town for decades. Not to spend a little cold or not bothering to buy and prepare the wood and the place to do it, many people prefer not to do it and let loose a historical tradition, and also attractive in which friends gather in gangs in around a bonfire and enjoy a night atypical held only once a year. So from this isolated outpost of the web and this great world that is the internet I would like to appeal to all those ayerbenses (not ayerbenses) this year did not dare to light a fire that means more than a binge. A holiday that signifies the pride of a people like ours, which means the fight for what we want, which means continuing the legacy of our ancestors and celebrate, in the same time as they did, the opportunity to get together with your family or with your friends. Just ask for cooperation from all ceneienses for one year now and will promulgate the idea (a mostly younger) of the need to continue with our traditions lest they lose the identity of a people, as do at this rate of neglect and disuse, the losing end.
Finally, after this tirade, I would like to publicly comment on my anger and my embarrassment when I heard some news incomprehensible. For those who do not know it'll tell you. It is true that since we left the bonfire the night from Saturday to Sunday, the last that we were picked up only the cups, plates and waste left over from dinner. True, we could have collected with great care, the table, the bank and the ashes of the fire at that very moment. But true is also that some people with very, very little patience. In a town with a thousand people, where everybody knows everybody and that is supposed to be the use of dialogue, are not logical that we have received complaints from some people in the area where the fire did. So much was the situation that some of these people took pictures of the site (it was with the bureau, the bank and the ashes ... nothing else) to threaten to report them to the Guardia Civil. On Tuesday he was picked up everything. Not because we had received the threat, but because that was what we were doing from the beginning. That maybe we should have picked up that night, maybe. Maybe we should have Sunday went to pick it up, was the idea but it has not stayed. But that threat and on Monday we have not collected the ashes of a fire in two days being the others were still in the squares (including the officer), it is in my amazement. It seems that even in a small town with a thousand people where everybody knows everybody and that means you can discuss things without threats, some people have little patience. Apparently never, no, it was young. Apparently never have had to celebrate St. Paul. If so, sorry for them.
