And
'the Day of Holocaust Remembrance: 27 January 1945 the Soviet army
entered, liberating it, in the extermination camp of Auschwitz, the
symbol of the horrors of the Nazi extermination of six million Jews.
It has been nearly seventy years, 67 to be exact since that day, but
nobody wants to forget the genocide implemented by the Nazis during the
Second World War with the aim to exterminate all Jews living in Europe.
Auschwitz was just one of many concentration camps, concentration
camps, where they were locked up, but it became the symbol of all that
time. On
this occasion, many moments of celebration for the victims of the
Holocaust: the minister of culture Lorenzo Ornaghi inaugurated an
exhibition at the Vittoriano in Rome "horror" called a "tool against
Holocaust denial." Over the years it has witnessed several attempts to deny the massacre of Jews in concentration camps by some people.
The Head of State observes Memorial Day with a ceremony at which the
highest representatives of the participating State, those of the Lazio
Region and the Municipality.
Yesterday evening the Jewish community of Rome, the city where there is
still symbolically the ghetto where she lived the thickest Italian
Jewish community largely deported to German concentration camps, has
held a commemorative celebration in the synagogue with the
representatives of the community and about three thousand students. Also present were the Mayor of Rome, the President of the Lazio region and the deputy prime minister of Israel.
The last night was titled "Memory of the Witnesses - The nomination":
When the nomination was read the names of all children died in
concentration camps, while there were some survivors of the deportation.
Even the head of government has finally issued a message to remember
the Shoah, the Holocaust, saying among other things like the memory of
the Shoah is the founding values of the basic day European Unit.
If we learned anything from Nicki Minaj in recent years is certainly the fact that this artist is never afraid to say what he thinks really. The rapper of New York city is in full promo for his second album " Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. "After
the performance on the Today Show, and in Times Square, the rapper was
stopped at the ABC" Nightline "where he talked with Juju Chang, a
journalist, and here's a little preview, where we talk about Lady Gaga: "You feel insulted when you compare it to Lady Gaga?" Nicki: "Offended?No. Annoyed?Yes, You and I are on two totally different roads.First
and foremost I am a rapper and who are from Southside Jamaica, Queens,
and I could throw down a few sentences crazy right now, but I will not! " Not content with the journalist in the uproar, speaking of wigs and clothing over the top (both wear) Nicki: "Every female artist in the business wearing wigs ..!Dresses over the top?Eeeehhh, try again! "
It's basically a sneek peak of what will be the full interview, but it
already seems that this anticipation will be one of those interviews can
not miss it for anything! I think in fact that ordinary people the comparisons to Lady Gaga these days.
Do not bother to see how it can do for that, deep down it is she who
wanted to bring his business to another level, crafting a disc with
dance-pop trends (more than half of the songs) that have little or
nothing to do with the RAP and Hip Hop ... Although much appreciate Nicki for reporting this female rap to it, in this interview I found it rather hypocritical.
The world of sport and cycling in particular have strongly criticized Monday's decision to sanction TAS two years Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador for doping after testing positive for clenbuterol and a half years ago.
Everywhere have received messages of support to the rider of Pinto,
which may not run until 5 August and will be stripped of his wins since
2010, most consider that an unfair decision.
The Cyclists' Association
criticized the decision "so hard despite having shown that anti-doping
rule violated never consciously and having proved its cleanliness and
honesty." And is that because the CAS said the sentence was not able to
show that the rider voluntarily consumed this substance, although the
UCI and WADA's thesis is that the positive was caused by a blood
transfusion or by ingestion of contaminated food supplement, rather than
by consumption of meat treated as argued by the rider.
The truth is that the honesty of Contador
could not be questioned during the trial that lasted nearly a year and a
half in which there have been leaks and allegations against the rider. The winner of the Tour de France, 2006 Oscar Pereiro
was emphatic on this point: "Two years of punishment and the judgment
Alberto puts that doping is not proven. then? What sons of a ..."
to end by saying that "life has been played in the fall and sprints for
two years. What if something had happened? In short, without words."
An "outraged" Pedro Delgado has also criticized the penalty . For former cyclist "is exaggerated and more when the court itself admits that there is no evidence of doping." Pedro Delgado believes that this punishment is two years because Alberto Contador is sanctioned, "the world number one." "If the case were of a lesser-known rider, the penalty would have been lower," he said.
The time has gone on trial also is controversial.
A year and a half has lasted the longest trial in a doping case in
history of sport, which also has been a long mental exhaustion for
cyclist Pinto.
To Bahamontes, the first Spanish winner of the Tour de France, "wanted
cargárselo from the beginning, it is logical to wait so long, and I
think they made things very wrong." "Contador has fought tooth and nail, and you have not had any attention," the Eagle of Toledo.
Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara, Olympic champion time trial, believes
that "it was a very strange case for the amount of time that has passed
since their origin and the CAS decision."
Also the Norwegian Thor Hushovd (BMC), world champion in 2010, said the
fact that they have solved the case after one and a half "means that
something is not working well." "In other sports had been settled long before," he lamented.
This long process has also been subject to many external pressures,
such as filtration interest published by The New York Times in which he
accused of having made a counter autotransfusion due to the existence of
plastic in your blood, which never came to be confirmed .
The sentence is also counter the existence of conflicting earlier cases whose athletes in similar circumstances, were acquitted.
An example is the German table tennis player Ovtcharov, acquitted in
2011 also by a positive for clenbuterol after arguing that he had taken
banned substances through food.
The rebuttal requested by the German table tennis player showed that
there was indeed a long-term use of clenbuterol, as has been
demonstrated with the pinteño.
In 2011 the Danish Anti-Doping Commission and WADA acquitted of intent
to biker Philip Nielsen, in a positive test for clenbuterol, not knowing
the risk it took to eating meat contaminated by this substance. Also last year Mexican five players tested positive for clenbuterol famous. The players argued that resulted from the meat they had eaten at a concentration before the tournament.
The AMA finished withdrawing its appeal to CAS after receiving a FIFA
study which revealed a health problem by the presence of
clenbuterol-contaminated meat.
President of the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation, Juan Carlos Castano
, confessed that "it is a very strong suit for cycling and Spanish
sport in general. CAS has applied a principle of responsibility extreme
sports," referring to as the Counter body would have consumed the
substance voluntarily, although during the trial has been established
that with the number found there is no kind of improvement in athletic
performance.
Easter is one of the most important festivals of the Christian tradition as in the Orthodox tradition
, celebrates, in fact, the resurrection of Christ as the Passover
celebrates the deliverance of the Hebrews from Egypt by Moses.
The date of Easter
is different every year and is in the Sunday following the first full
moon after the vernal equinox (March 21): Easter, therefore, falls from
March 22 (if March 21 is Saturday and the full moon) to 25 in April.
Liturgical ritual of Easter
Easter is preceded by Lent, a period of 40 days of fasting and abstinence, which in turn follows the festivities of Carnival . The week before Easter is called Holy Week and is marked by special liturgies. The Sunday before Easter is Palm Sunday: the blessing of the palms and olive branches, commemorating the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, the crowd waving palm branches. On Maundy Thursday there is the washing of feet, in remembrance of the gesture made by Jesus at the Last Supper. Good Friday is dedicated to the celebration of the Via Crucis which traces the passion of Christ, and Holy Saturday is the only day of the year in which Mass is not celebrated, and is not given Communion.
Traditions of Easter
Easter, in time, has been enhanced with rituals and customs, and religious origin. In particular, the custom of awarding Easter eggs
dates back to ancient rites: even the ancient Persians and Greeks are
giving away eggs in spring, as a symbol of nature's reawakening.
The custom was then maintained by the Jews who ate eggs at Easter as a
sign of rebirth, while the lamb recalls the sacrifice made by the Jews
to Moses before leaving for Egypt. Over the Easter egg, which always holds a surprise inside, Christians also exchange good wishes for a Happy Easter.
On Easter Christian (Catholic and Protestant) according to the Julian calendar:
Easter 2012 Date: April 8 Easter 2013 Date: March 31 Easter 2014 Date: April 20 Easter 2015 Date: April 5 Easter 2016 Date: March 27 Easter 2017 Date: April 16 Easter 2018 Date: April 1 Easter 2019 Date: April 21 Easter 2020 Date: April 12 Easter 2021 Date: April 4 Easter 2022 Date: April 17 Easter 2023 Date: April 9 Easter 2024 Date: March 31 Easter 2025 Date: April 20
Easter Monday
Easter is followed by another public holiday on Monday, commonly called Easter,
which commemorates the apparition of the angel announcing the
resurrection of Christ to women who had gone to visit the tomb and found
it empty.
The feast of Easter Monday was set up in Italy after World War II to
"empower" the Easter holidays: it is traditionally devoted to outings and travel.
How much and how many times our eyes rested on a simple cross or a crucifix, in this distracted world, superactive, superficial?
How many times entering a church or passing in front of religious
shrines on street corners, on country lanes or mountain, or placing it
in the neck is out of devotion, both for fashion, our eyes have seen the
Cross, how many times since Children we have marked with the sign of
the cross, reciting a prayer or looking at the crucifix hanging on the
wall of our bedroom, so starting and ending our day.
The Cross symbolizes Christianity, present in our lives from birth,
signs of the rite of Baptism, the Sacrament of Penance nell'assoluzione,
blessings and dates in our every act devotional and sacramental until
the last mark made by the priest in the Sacrament of the Sick, the
processional cross before the funeral and in the cross of marble or
other material, resting on the grave.
So present in our lives and yet so often ignored and looked at us
without saying anything, with a casual eye and used, yet the cross is
the supreme symbol of suffering and death of Jesus, true God and true
man, who by His sacrifice has rescued us from death of sin, showing us
the true life that passes through suffering.
Jesus Himself with His parables taught that the seed is buried, it rots
and dies, to give new life to the plant that he will be born.
Throughout human history and the Historical Jesus, "The Passion" which
culminated in the Good Friday, always designate all the sad events that
struck him to death on the cross.
And this group of progressive and painful acts became known as "Via
Crucis" (extra-liturgical practice, introduced to Europe by Dominican
Blessed Alvaro, († 1402), and after him by the Franciscan Friars Minor),
that the Catholic Church, recalls every temple with the 14 'Stations'
and checks attached to the walls or along the ridges of the hills where
there are shrines of pilgrimage, with shrines, chapels and statuary
groups that invite meditation and penance in each of these' Stations
'are depicted with various artistic expressions, painful moments of the
"Via Crucis" and Passion of Jesus; expression of high symbolism and art,
for example, are like those of the Sacred Mountain of Varallo and
Varese, and the famous Breton Calvaries.
The "Passion" of Jesus began after the Last Supper with the Apostles
kept, where He gave mankind the greatest gift you could: himself in the
sacrament of the Eucharist, also the establishment of the Christian
Priesthood, and the great lesson of humility and love towards the
neighbor with the washing of the feet of the Twelve Apostles.
The Gospels recount the events fairly accurately and consistently, in
the spring of the year 30, Jesus descends with his disciples from
Galilee to Jerusalem during Passover, the annual "memorial" of the
miraculous deliverance of the people from jew ' Egypt.
Here he held the Last Supper, which was in fact replaced the old
"memorial" with the new, to be renewed in time until his return: "This
is my body which is given for you", "This cup is the new covenant in my
blood which is shed for you "," Do this in remembrance of me. "
In the "redemption from sin" is to be sought in good part, the sense of
'Passion' of Christ and the Gospel accounts of this deal, the sequence
of events that followed the Last Supper, remember that Jesus himself
foretold what would happen to his disciples three times, preparing them
to its destiny of suffering and glory, in particular the third time
(Luke 18, 31-33).
But his sacrifice, is presented in the Gospels as the implementation of
the prophets, in the scriptures and point to a great truth, delivering
mild and benevolent in the hands of men who will do what he want, s'
"Lamb of God "took upon himself and has 'taken away' the sin of the
world (John 1.29).
For this we note that in the Gospel story of the Passion, each act is
presented as evil, unjust and cruel, even for all who work against Jesus
are evil sinners or rather, as an impressive series of men's sins
against Him
It is necessary for evil and sin against Jesus is unleashed, leading to
death and giving the feeling of having won the Good, by His
Resurrection until the end you will see that the final victory over
evil, is his.
The 'Passion' takes place with a dramatic sequence of images, first of
all, the betrayal of Judas, who sells it and denounce it placed a kiss
in the garden beyond the brook Cedron, where he had retired with his
disciples to pray , and where Jesus had a vision for the next agonizing
end, sweating blood and to the point of asking the Father to pass, if
possible, this bitter cup of suffering, but at the same time he agreed
to do His will.
Following the arrest the night by soldiers and officers from the chief
priests and Pharisees, Jesus suffered the interrogation of Anna, a
former high priest and father of the powerful high priest Caiaphas, then
the judgment of the Jewish Sanhedrin, headed by Caiaphas, who makes an
accusation at all costs to allow his sentence to death, but the current
law in Jerusalem, could not be implemented by the Jewish authorities.
At the same time the concrete triple denial of his first disciple
Peter, then Jesus is led by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, accused
of being proclaimed King of the Jews, thus committing a crime of treason
to the emperor.
In comparison with Pilate, Jesus affirms his Kingship, although not
sees any fault in him, clinging to power, the governor guilty of
cowardice, they do not make a decision to Pilate, who according to the
Gospel of Luke (23, 6) not wanting to rule, he sends him to King Herod,
present in those days in Jerusalem, which after a futile questioning and
instigated by the chief priests and scribes, the insulting taunts, then
covered in a rich cloak sends it back to Pilate.
Again Pilate asks the people hesitant to blame this man has, because he
finds none, to the cries of condemnation does scourged, thinking that
it will calm down, but they shouted louder and louder to crucify him,
Pilate according to local customs , being able to release a prisoner at
the Passover, he asked the people if they wanted to choose between Jesus
and a rebel prisoner named Barabbas, who had many deaths on his
conscience, but also the people in this choice is expressed shouting in
favor of Barabbas.
Not being able to do anything else, the governor symbolically washed
his hands and condemned Jesus to death by crucifixion, death penalty as
practiced in that era and gave it to the soldiers.
The soldiers with fierce cunning, put it on Jesus' head, mockingly, a
crown of sharp thorns and loaded on his shoulders, already torn by
excruciating scourging, the "patibulum", moving towards the hill of
Golgotha, or Calvary, the place of execution .
The "Via Crucis" of Jesus has some meetings not all reported
unanimously by the four evangelists, such as meeting with Simon of
Cyrene, forced by soldiers to carry Jesus' cross or burden-sharing; the
meeting with the women of Jerusalem he says with such apocalyptic tones
to cry about themselves, the meeting with Veronica, falls o'er the hill.
Once on the summit of Calvary, was stripped of his garments by the
soldiers, who were drawn by lot from among the soldiers themselves, then
crucified on the cross with nails, horrible torture and cruel, that
leads Jesus to death after a few hours, always between insults and
offenses at the end rather than break his legs to hasten death by
suffocation, being already dead, a centurion's spear pierce his side to
be sure.
There is still a number of incidents that occur before and after his
death, as the suicide of Judas, the exchange of words with the two
thieves crucified on that occasion too, the gash of the Veil of the
Temple of Jerusalem The earthquake, the upheaval of the elements, the
presence at the foot of the Cross of Mary His mother, Mary of Magdala
(Mary Magdalene), Mary of Cleophas, the mother of James the Less and
Joseph, Salome, mother of the sons of Zebedee, and by John, the youngest
of the apostles, the mutual trust between Mary and John, his last words
before dying.
The 'Passion' ends, after the deposition rushed to the approach of the
holidays on Saturday, with the burial of his mortal body in a tomb by
Joseph of Arimathea on, he became his disciple, wrapped in a shroud and
sprinkled oils and aromas usual, then the rock-cut tomb, was closed by a
large stone.
In this context the final fits to the existence and veneration for the
Holy Shroud, preserved in Turin Cathedral, proof of hardship and cruel
method of crucifixion suffered by Jesus.
Given the limited space available, it is bound to be pretty quick to
describe the 'Passion of Our Lord', but this historic event, you can
meditate extensively, participating in the rites of Holy Week, which for
centuries the Catholic Church and other Churches Christians celebrate.
We add only that Jesus wanted to suffering and death, taking upon
himself the sufferings and pains of all kinds of humanity, as a "drives
out another", while indicating that suffering is a necessary evil,
because writing in the history of every single man, as is the death of
the body, as a consequence of sin, but it can be turned into a light of
hope, sharing the suffering of our brothers, who share with us, each in
its short or long earthly life, the journey towards the heavenly
homeland.
This concept was in pain and enhancement of the Christian millennia,
well understood and assimilated by many mystical souls, to the point to
want nothing more than sharing the pain of 'Passion'; obtained by Christ
to bring in their body, and tormented by the visible signs of both
pain, as well as for many there was the sacrifice of their lives,
following the example of the Redeemer, to affirm their faith in Him and
His teachings.
So here is the vast array of martyrs from the early days after the
death of Jesus and to this day, they suffered and died violently, in
ways perhaps more harrowing crucifixion, such as being torn apart alive
by wild beasts, burned alive at the stake, torn to pieces by the savages
in the Missions, skinned alive, etc..
Then referring to when he first mentioned the signs of the 'Passion' on your body, just to name a few: The Stigmata of s. Francis of Assisi, of St.. Pio of Pietrelcina, the plug in front of s. Rita of Cascia, etc..
The sad and painful story of the 'Passion', has always inspired popular
piety to participate in Good Friday rites, with expressions of great
charm and penitence, with processions of 'Mysteries', large and small
representations, with statues for the more than cardboard, the various
episodes of 'Via Crucis', in particular the meeting of Jesus carrying
the cross with his mother and the pious women, or with Jesus dead,
carried to the tomb, followed dall'effige of the Virgin of Sorrows.
In all churches, from the Colosseum with the pope, there are the 'Via
Crucis', even in the streets of countries and districts of the city, in
some cases through centuries of tradition they are carried out by
faithful period costumes and come up with a mock crucifixion, in other
cases for centuries held the penitential processions of hooded
fraternities with people or not, who flagellate themselves with sharp
objects or sting, and so continue the bloody penitential procession, as
in the famous penance Sanframondi Guard.
It would take a book to describe them all, but you can not forget to mention the baroque rituals of Good Friday in Seville.
At the 'Passion' of Jesus is associated with the image of the Virgin of
Sorrows, that the greatest artists have represented together with the
Crucifixion, at the foot of the Cross, or Christ lying in his arms after
the deposition, such as the famous 'Pieta' of Michelangelo, the
'Lamentation' by Giotto, the 'Crucifixion' by Masaccio, to name a few.
The subject of 'Passion', continued to be well represented with modern
technologies, such as using capable actors, natural scenery and dramatic
expressions of pain, has led to a wider national and international
public the whole earthly life of Jesus
It is especially the case of film, with lots of great emotional value
movies, like "The Gospel According to St. Matthew" by Pier Paolo
Pasolini, the "Jesus of Nazareth" by Franco Zeffirelli, the set of those
colossal and historical, as "The King of King, "" The Robe ", etc.. until the last grand for its drama "The Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson.
Also present today in every television home, has revived an even wider
audience in television production and the many movies with this subject,
that economic issues and the crisis of the cinema, would no longer be
seen.
Friday is the day of the Cross, symbol of this is to help Christians
and others, whilst taking away from this religion, which in many ways
has at its heart the pain and suffering, although accepted and
transfigured, and you know No one likes to suffer and everyone wants to
strive for happiness without first suffering.

The alarm has been launched by computer security company F-Secure, who explained how the trojan, which began circulating in October 2011, has become particularly virulent in recent weeks. 600,000 Macs are already affected by Flashback: 50% of infections regards the United States - even with 274 cases in Cupertino, Apple's headquarters - while in Italy there is a modest 0.3% on the total number of infections.
Apple immediately ran for cover, releasing a patch that should solve the shortcomings of Java 1.6.0_29 and recommending that users install the update as soon as possible. The company's Apple assures the patch solves the problem entirely. F-Secure, however, continues to invite users to enable Java only if clearly needed.
