Longinus and the crucifixion

O Hesus ko,tungod sa imong kilid nga nabuka sa pagbono sa usa ka bangkaw nga giagayan sa gi-agayan sa dugo ug tubig…

The verse would seem very familiar to people who grew up in families who make it a tradition to pray for the agonies of Christ for the salvation of purged souls.

I also happen to come from a family like that.

But, reading it in the light of history and tradition, the line springs to life a rich and vivid image most iconic to us Christians, especially as we contemplate on the agonies of Christ this Lenten Season.

The scene is unmistakable.

Three crosses on top of a hill, two robbers, Dimas and Aestas hanging beside the Christ. Soldiers keeping watch, swords drawn. Veiled women weep at the bottom of the cross.

KWARESMA

The Teutonic word Lent, which we employ to denote the forty days' fast preceding Easter, originally meant no more than the spring season. Still it has been used from the Anglo-Saxon period to translate the more significant Latin term quadragesima (French carême, Italian quaresima, Spanish cuaresma), meaning the "forty days", or more literally the "fortieth day". This in turn imitated the Greek name for Lent, tessarakoste (fortieth), a word formed on the analogy of Pentecost (pentekoste), which last was in use for the Jewish festival before New Testament times. This etymology, as we shall see, is of some little importance in explaining the early developments of the Easter fast. [www. newadvent.org/cathen/09152a.htm]

VALENTINE DATE at the plaza

A lovely date at the Cortes plaza? Why not?
This valentines, how about bringing your lovely date at the Cortes Plaza?
I got my answer later and I bet you have never seen me “go cute and bring a date” in that plaza.
A friend (who may truly be gifted) once told me that her hair stood on its ends when I was showing her Cortes Church and its plaza.
It was almost 6 pm and I told her anytime the centuries old brass bells would chime and the muted oracion would be heard in some houses.
Somebody flicked on the switches of the church lights.
I know it was the bellringer. He would be passing through the church to access the unusual bell tower. Unusual because like Baclayon and Loboc again, Cortes bell tower was not built as attached to the main church body. In fact, a short bridge would be the access from the church coro to the tower.

Santo Niño de Malabago

DUNAY duha ka rason nganong lisud ipatin-aw kon unsay hinungdan nga ang Santo Nino mao nay patron sa Cortes.

Una; nihit hikit-an ang nasulat nga talaan sa kasaysayan kay kasagaran nadaut sa baha dihang didto kini tipigi sa kombento sa Loboc.

Ikaduha, lisud kaykayon ang kinatsilang tala nga tua sa mga archives sa mga misyonerong taga Espanya.

Hinuon, subay sa mga sugilanong gisawhan sa mga paganong Bol-anon ug Sugbuanon, may timailhan nga dinhing dapita, may giila silang usa ka dios-dios nga may susamag dagway sa nailhan na nga Santo Nino.

Kon atong subayon ang timeline, matud pa, ang tambalan nga si Tamblot, (1621) daan na nga pari sa mga paganong nagsangpit kang Ai Suno (Ai Sano) sa katilingban sa katawhan sa Malabago (tampi sa suba sa Camayaan)
