Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent

" Memento homo, quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris " - " Remember man, you're dust and dust you shall return ", this is the formula traditionally used in the liturgy of the" Ash Wednesday "While we celebrate the Rite of Ashes, which is the rite in which it is scattered on the head of the faithful a bit of ash produced by burning the blessed olive branches " Palm Sunday of the previous year. With the reform of Vatican II, this formula is added in a second alternative, which reads: "Repent and believe the Gospel."


From the thirteenth secolo, per circa cinque secoli, l'imposizione delle ceneri  che il cardinale protovescovo praticava sul capo del pontefice e che si svolgeva per tradizione nella chiesa di S. Anastasia al Palatino, da cui partiva una processione, in cui i fedeli (a piedi scalzi fino al XII secolo) raggiungevano la prima stazione quaresimale della chiesa di S. Sabina sull'Aventino, fu eseguita in silenzio e solo all'inizio del settecento la formula ammonitrice fu recuperata.

With the "Ash Wednesday ," which follows the last day of Mardi Gras carnival, begins in the Roman Rite " Lent, a period of preparation for the" Easter , "a period of forty days when you and leads through penance, fasting as a symbol of abstention from sin (now limited to " Ash Wednesday" and "Friday "), eating lean meat as a symbol of giving up the waiver luxury, as a symbol of the prayer that God deserves and as a symbol of brotherly love toward others. In the rite Ambrosian, instead the "Lent " whose beginning is delayed for four days, coincides with the first Sunday of Lent.

Now, the church of origne, for the first three centuries, contained an additional period of preparation for the "Easter ", probably because the feeling of Christian conversion to God was alive and active, there was only a fasting ascetic - lighting of one or two days, practiced the catechumens. In the fourth century became part of the fasting rites of reconciliation, the place for sinners reconciled with God and that began the Sunday before the VI " Easter " lasted forty days and ended at the ninth hour of Holy Thursday (today as in the Ambrosian rite). In the sixth century as it was forbidden to make penitential rites on Sunday, wanting to keep the forty calendar days of penance, the beginning of path of contrition was moved to Wednesday before the first Sunday Lent, was born the " Ash Wednesday" which is celebrated in the Roman rite.

In Thousand in Sicily, from Garibaldi to Falcone and Borsellino




... THE HUNDRED STEPS
the late sixties to Cinisi, a small Sicilian village, the Mafia dominates and controls the daily life, in addition to contracts for the airport at Punta Raisi and drug trafficking. The young Peppino Impastato entered the vortex of the dispute bending, with originality, to local needs. Opens a small radio on which the lashes with the powerful weapon of irony including local Uncle Tano (Badalamenti). Peppino will be killed by passing his death a suicide. If you look with glasses of ideology Hundred Steps (inspired by actual events), with the closing on red flags and clenched fists of the funeral of dough, might seem like a propaganda film. It's actually a film of civil commitment (which is not ashamed to quote Rosi Le mani sulla città) che si assume il compito di ricordarci che la lotta a quel complesso fenomeno che passa sotto il nome di mafia non appartiene a una 'parte'.

Mille, just like 150 years ago, will be the people to land in Sicily from the rest of Italy under the "In A Thousand in Sicily - From Garibaldi Falcone Borsellino and engage in civic and ethical organized an itinerary to visit Florence dall'Unicoop symbolic places that can give hints to answer a series of difficult questions and emblematic story that really belong to that began with the unification of Italy and that still haunts us, encourages us to reflect in an attempt to figure out how to change the course of things, to design interventions that are able to lay the foundations of a democracy, yet wobbly and very poised as in recent years.
Numerous stages of the route and the first match "Memory House Felicia and Peppino Impastato" here in Cinisi and will be our great pleasure to welcome all this humanity in motion, engaged in a journey that, as often happens, is also a research as a discovery. It may be a chance to make the Italian company who wants to meet himself and his roots, Starting early also disenchanted with the tourists, then hugging herself (perhaps to soothe the wounds left by indelible stories of oppression, power, rebellion, pain, but also beauty, that still burn wounds by making it impossible to forget of them) and eventually find there, in them the strength to look into the eyes of today's reality and deal with it. After all, as Goethe wrote "Italy without Sicily leaves no image in mind: only here is the key to everything."
in a thousand will go in search of stories that have marked physical places, have made them "talking" because they can relate well to their staticità. Proprio come Casa Memoria Impastato, che ancora oggi tiene in vita la memoria di Peppino e di Felicia, le loro lotte e il coraggio delle loro scelte. Oppure come “Portella delle Ginestre” con i suoi cippi e quell’elenco di nomi a ricordo delle 11 vittime di quella che fu la prima strage di stato del nostro paese.
Uno “sbarco” moderno con partenza, stranamente, dal Centro-Nord Italia invece che dal Nord Africa, che si svilupperà come un occasione per incontrarsi, confrontarsi, intrecciare relazioni, per costruire una nuova solidarietà e condivisione sociale a livello nazionale che sappia opporsi alle degenerazioni del federalismo da una parte e del nazionalismo dall’altra, che sappia prodigarsi anche nell’accoglienza e nella scoperta della ricchezza della diversità sessuale, culturale, ecc. contro ogni forma di razzismo, di segregazione e di rigidità. Uno “sbarco” che non sarà una conquista, l’imprigionamento di un’identità, come avvenne ai danni del Sud proprio 150 anni fa, ma sarà guidato dalla volontà di ascoltare e di conoscere per riconoscersi e ritrovarsi nel marasma dell’attuale corruzione e della mancanza di riferimenti.
In mille si avvicenderanno in gruppi da 30 a partire dal mese di febbraio fino all’intero mese di marzo nell’ingresso a Casa Memoria Impastato: il primo arriverà il 22 febbraio 2011; in quell’occasione si svolgerà l’incontro con la stampa.
