seems like yesterday, when he spoke of the world's most crowded festivals Las Fallas in Valencia, and a year ago I said that these parties come from very old and are born a custom antiquisisma Valencian carpenters held on the eve of his employer, San Jose (March 19) and for light in the last hours day, and no sun, used some fixtures that held on a stick as a candle called "astai" or "parot", which stood at the center of the workshop.
According to this theory, it was tradition to celebrate the patron saint of the Guild and the end of the winter evenings working, removed the "parot" gate of the workshop and will burn with a chips shop and the way they celebrated the arrival of spring. A mix of religious and pagan.
Over time, they added more stuff into the fire, and even put on clothes to "parot" for look like a person who would criticize in the line of satire Valencia has always existed, over time, this primitive figure were added more elements that made up a small scene from a script and a critic topic ar, which had occurred at that time in the city of Valencia and now criticizes modernity very funny things that happen not only in Spain but also in the world.
Thus, still according to this hypothesis, ninot appeared first, then two and then three more to make it because of a cause for celebration, wit, humor and hubbub. The
Failures can be seen as the party most emblematic and identification of Valencia for its festive atmosphere and cosmopolitan and very present in the Valencian society in all walks of life, there is a more democratic party Fallas de Valencia, involving all social strata Valencia City and many cities and towns of the Community even cities in other provinces celebrate the failures, both in the Province of Castellón, as in the Province of Alicante, the same March 19.
Valencia failures take place between the 15th and 19th of March, and are the most popular holidays of the city and throughout the Valencian Community, known and appreciated not only in Spain but also worldwide.
are planted each year in Valencia around seven hundred and fifty major commissions failures and many other children, which are the subject of worship and a visit by Valencia and the thousands of visitors who come to Valencia from around the world to live and enjoy the party more lively in the world, until the fatal hour arrives for the cream of all failures, not saved any but two Ninots, belonging to a failure of the main section and another Ninot sections of the children, are often true works of art.
And let's not forget the powder which is the queen and the epicenter of the festivities josefinas, the shot of the mascletas noon at the Town Hall Square and Casal Cap is a must for all the world loves good music produced by the thudding sound of the shells and rockets exploding in great harmony that freezes the blood you creating you an adrenaline difficult to explain and that is evident in the faces of the thousands and thousands of attendees at this event almost religious. Here is the mascleta a few days ago.
And I have to say that this will not only feel as Valencia, I'm so sorry ge Nte coming to Valencia and repeat for those ten minutes from the "fire" of the mascleta, inexplicably fills you and is a hobby that Valencian children in their blood, the mixture of Gunpowder, Fire, Music, Art Sympathy, Good times they say the cool, finally we might call a festival of friendship, the Valencian open our arms to the world to come and enjoy a healthy way of great feasts of the common people.
The street lights are also taking a high artistic value and many streets are competing to take the top prize this year ey lighting 2011 to borne the first prize Falla Swedish-Literato Azorín, watch the video:
Another wonderful act, emotional, traditional, is the offering to the Lady of the Forsaken, wife of San Jose. The Virgin of the Helpless, dedicated to the Virgin Mary is the patroness of Valencia. Is represented with a lily in one hand and the baby Jesus carrying the cross on their arms. The characteristic feature of this virgin is having the head slightly forward, so that among the Valencian is recognized affectionately as "The Geperudeta."
This event involves all the Fallas commissions both older and children and have to do it in two evenings between 9 / 10 hours a day. Our wonderful women of all ages from all walks of life, whether or not born in Valencia and dressed in those magnificent costumes of Valencia, are leaving their bouquets behaviors and many with tears in her beautiful eyes at the feet of the Virgin of the Helpless, these bouquets are made with different colors predetermined by the organization, and at the end of the offering, it provides a cloak of the Virgin very colorful and different each year, then almost all the committees give away thousands of flowers in baskets in baskets and huge baskets, whose fragrance is spread all over the place that they seem you're in a big garden full of beautiful flowers and may even dizzy.
The love of the Mare de Valencia Deu is incredible, so when you hear these idiots the government to say that Spain is Atea, you want to burn them on the failures but also symbolically we do every year and that Spain is an atheist who just ask the thousands of English towns that d entered a few days began their Weeks Santas. Clowns.
And finally comes the fateful hours of the cream of all these monuments falleros and this occurs on the night of March 19, the day that these great works of art disappear into the flames and that great astonishment, the next day March 20, at seven o'clock is not a single other debris from the famous Cream, away the ashes, tents, fences, incredible and a new day as if by magic, the lived a few hours before had been a wonderful dream and what is amazing is that the clock on that next week starts the new year following Failure of the Point. Unbelievable but true, these people is unprecedented.
Cream:
A special hug in Valencia Fallas week of my beloved.
