Najveći Ljetni Blagdan: Vela Gospa

Objavljeno u Zanimljivosti

Blagdan Vele Gospe je jedan od najznačajnijih blagdana u katoličkom kalendaru, te državni praznik u cijeloj Hrvatskoj.

U Splitskoj na otoku Braču je Gospa zaštitnica sela, tako da je blagdan Vele Gospe, 15. kolovoza jedan sasvim poseban dan. Kao i kod većine katoličkih blagdana, proslava počinje sa crkvenim slavljem, odavanjem počasti svecu kroz misu i procesiju. S obzirom, da se sve dovađa usred ljeta, misa bude uvijek predvečer.

Kao i obično, misi prethodi crkveno zvono, koje počinje sat i petnaest minuta prije početka mise i glasi se svakih petnaest minuta. Samo što je ovaj put malo drukčije od uobičajenog u tome, da sva tri zvona zvone punom snagom kroz ručno pokretanje iskusnim zvonarima visoko u zvoniku. Postoji duga tradicija u ručnom udaranju na zvona u zvoniku, koje izvode 76-godišnji Vladimir Čeprnić i njegov rođak Pero Barbarić. Zadatak zahtjeva odličnu fizičku kondiciju. Uspon do zvonika nije jednostavan i pokretanje teških zvona i zvonjenje, posebice onoga velikoga, je pitanje snage i izdržljivosti. Prije početka mise zvone zvona po nekoliko minuta. Tijekom procesije koja slijedi nakon mise, zvone neprekidno za vrijeme trajanje šetnje po selu, koje traje više od pola sata.

Za misu se mala crkvica uvijek napuni do zadnjeg mjesta a mnogi sudjeluju i vani ispred glavnog ulaza. Mnogo više ljudi se pridruži procesiji nakon mise. Tijekom mise pokreće crkveno zvono u ključnim svečanim trenucima sin Vladimira Čeprnića, Jure, redovni zvonar Splitske. Procesija kreće uzbrdo u večernjem suncu s kipom Majke Božje i Djeteta, koji nose četiri mladića iz sela praćeni župnikom don Markom Plančićem.

Bočni oltar, na kojem se obično nalazi portret Djevice s Djetetom, svečano je ukrašen u iščekivanju povratka kipa.

Procesija skreće lijevo kroz vrata crkve, umjesto da ide niz glavne stepenice prema rivi i vodi uzbrdo obilazeći glavni dio sela. Vođena je uobičajenom dvojicom stjegonoša sa zastavama u čast Gospi.

Iza stjegonoša hoda grupa muškaraca, nakon njih mlade djevojke odjevene kao mali anđeli noseći latice cvijeća. Starija djeca u svečanoj odjeći hodaju iza nositelja kipa a nakon njih hoda župnik don Marko u izolaciji.

Nakon što je obišla gornju sjevernu stranu sela, procesija dolazi na rivu i skreće desno prema crkvi. Prolazi pored glavnog ulaza u crkvu, ide ravno kroz rivu prolazeći pored ulaza u Cerineo/Cerinić vilu, gdje se okreće kako bi krenula prema crkvi. Kako su uvijek uz cestu parkirani automobili, može postati prilično usko za okretanje procesije, ali sve do danas je ova manja neugodnost uvijek prošla bez ikakvih komplikacija.

Do završetka procesije se uvijek smrači. Nakon toga je kratko zatišje, dok ljudi večeraju ili šetaju oko štandova na rivi kupujući balone i nove igračke za djecu. U 21:00 počinje veselje. U 2016. godini je večer otvorila Klapa Rišpet sa svojim prekrasno raznolikim repertoarom pjesama, nekim a cappella, ali ponajviše u pratnji instrumenata. Publika se s oduševljenjem priključila pjevanju a klapa je spremno odgovorila i na njene glazbene želje. Djeca su neumorno plesala, roditelji su slikali, odrasli se družili u razgovorima, neki su jeli kobasice ili palačinke prodavane na štandovima brze hrane, bezalkoholno piće i pivo se konzumiralo u velikim količinama. Koji put su djeca upadala na pozornicu, da bi ih odrasli povukli natrag zabrinuti oko moguće opasnosti od električnih žica. Vitka mlada dama u vrućim hlaćicama se popela na pozornicu ispred klape i izgledalo je, da će i ono malo što ima na sebi biti uklonjeno u nizu seksi pokreta na glasnu radost dijela publike. Međutim, završetka nije bilo, jer je zastrašujuće veliki čuvar odjeven u prijeteće crne kožne hlače stručno vratio mladu damu natrag na zemlju.

Negdje blizu ponoći, Klapa Rišpet je napustila pozornicu, da bi je zamijenio popularni pjevački dvojac, koji redovito nastupa na blagdanima Splitske. No, osjetilo se nestrpljenje u zraku: svake godine je vrhunac scenskog nastupa pojavljivanje zvonara Juru Čeprnića.

Potaknut grupom prijatelja, Jure svake godine preuzima pozornicu i izvodi nekoliko pjesama, koje su uvijek dobro primljene među njegovom predanom publikom - fan klubom lojalnih mještana.

2016. godine se mlada dama, čiju je striptiz točku prekinuo krupni izbacivač, ponovno pojavila na pozornici zajedno sa Jurom, uz oduševljen pljesak publike. Ovoga puta je zadržala svoju odjeću ali je izvela nekoliko vrlo nepriličnih pokreta, nimalo pogodnih za ono podosta djece, koja su još uvijek bila prisutna. Srećom je većina one najmlađe djece tada već spavala u naručjima svojih roditelja a pretpostavljam, da je većina one starije djece i tako sve to već vidjela na televiziji i na internetu.

Potaknute primjerom ´Gospođice Vruće-Hlačice´, još dvije - mlađe i pristojnije - plesačice su se popele na pozornicu i pridružile se Juri, tako da se atmosfera dobrog raspoloženja proširila kako među izvođačima tako i među publikom. Kako bi upotpunila svoj imidž opuštene sofisticiranosti, "Gospođica Vruće-Hlačice" je zapalila cigaretu i bezbrižno je kružila oko svojih oblačića dima.

Jure se nije činio nimalo uznemiren svim ovim upadima, sretno se smiješeći nastavlja sa setom svojih pjesama. Pred kraj je bio nagrađen poljupcem u obraz, nakon kojeg je "Gospođica Vruće-Hlačice" skočila s pozornice - koristeći moju glavu i osobu pored mene kao odskočnu dasku.

Juri je nakon njegove izvedbe aplaudirala publika i ljudi su mu čestitali sa svih strana dok je veličanstveno hodao rivom.. Jurin trenutak slave je bio gotov za ovu godinu, upisan mu je opet jedan veliki uspjeh. Pjevački dvojac, potaknut Jurinim primjerom, pjevao je s guštom do 2 sata ujutro, kada se selo vratilo u svoje normalne razine relativne tišine, izuzev nekolicine bučnih izoliranih skupina.

Pohvale lokalnim službama za zbrinjavanje otpada i svim organizatorima: pozornica i gotovo svaki komadić smeća su bili uklonjeni do sljedećeg jutra.

Vela Gospa: veliki blagdan za Katoličku Hrvatsku, a u Splitskoj (vjerojatno i drugdje) i fina mješavina pobožnosti i hedonizma, možda točno odražavajuća kontraste postojeće unutar dalmatinskog načina života.

  • With the war on Iran, Ukraine, AI and climate breakdown increasing the likelihood of a nuclear war, the clock stands closer to midnight than ever before. So who decides how many seconds we have left – and can we buy ourselves more time?

    The Earth is getting hotter. Conflicts are raging, in the Middle East and Ukraine, each increasing the chance of nuclear war. AI is infiltrating almost every aspect of our lives, despite its unpredictability and tendency to hallucinate. Scientists, tinkering in labs, risk introducing new, deadly pathogens, more destructive than Covid. Our pandemic response preparedness has weakened. The Doomsday Clock – a large, quarter clock with no numbers, keeps ticking, counting down the seconds until the apocalypse. Tick. Tick. Tick. In January, we reached 85 seconds to midnight. Experts believe humanity has never stood so close to the brink.

    “What we have seen is a slow almost sleepwalk into increasing dangers over the last decade. And we see these problems growing. We see science advancing at a rate that defies our ability to understand it, much less control it,” says Alexandra Bell, CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the organisation that sets the Doomsday Clock. She speaks of the “complete failure in leadership” in the US and other countries, which are doing little to address global, catastrophic threats, even as they feed into one another. Climate change increases global conflict, for instance, and the incorporation of AI into nuclear decision-making is, frankly, terrifying.

  • Findings come after third-hottest April on record globally and amid fears of more brutal European summer weather

    Economic inequality adds more than 100,000 deaths to the vast toll from heat and cold in Europe each year, research has found.

    Cutting levels of inequality to match that of Europe’s most equal region, Slovenia, as measured by the Gini index, would reduce temperature-related mortality by as much as 30%, equating to 109,866 people, the study found.

  • Brigg, Lincolnshire: We work these vehicles hard and they will have problems, but today was really not the day for a steaming bonnet

    There’s never a good time for a tractor to break down, but this was exceptional timing. Late April was very dry as predicted, and with a change in weather prospects, the birdfood seed needed to go in. The purpose of this “crop” is to fill the birds’ winter hunger gap, and it has to be sown in a narrow window: after the early May frosts, but before the soil dries out too much.

    We had just delivered the trailer of seed to the field, and were on the road returning to the farm, to collect the rolls that press the seed into the soil. As we passed through Brigg, the lights appeared on the dashboard and steam started to appear from the bonnet. This was our smallest and newest tractor. Hurriedly, we pulled into a driveway, water pouring from under the engine. Half on and half off the road, we started to collect traffic behind us. A quick look justified a call to the tractor dealers – it was a tricky job and the clock was ticking.

  • Naturalist says he has been ‘overwhelmed by greetings’ as milestone is marked with event at Royal Albert Hall

    David Attenborough said he had been “completely overwhelmed by birthday greetings” for his centenary on Friday and thanked wellwishers “most sincerely”.

    The naturalist said he had hoped to celebrate his 100th birthday quietly. Instead, the milestone will be marked with a live event at the Royal Albert Hall broadcast on BBC One, featuring music from his programmes as well as stories and reflections from public figures and leading advocates for the natural world.

    In a recorded audio message shared on Thursday night, Attenborough said: “I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas.

  • Promises to cut emissions and use more fuel-efficient planes fail to stop rise, with Ryanair’s carbon footprint 50% up on 2019

    Emissions from flying in Europe have now passed pre-pandemic levels, with Ryanair’s carbon footprint 50% higher than in 2019, research has shown.

    Total aviation emissions continue to increase despite industry pledges to decarbonise and the introduction of more fuel-efficient planes, driven by the massive expansion of low-cost carriers.

  • Turning parking bays into green spaces and prioritising cyclists may be the fastest routes to improving urban life

    Clean air, safer streets and a stable climate are among the reasons doctors and environmental experts want fewer cars clogging our roads. Reduced dependence on fuel – especially when prices are high and most countries rely on imports – is another.

    Yet while some cities with world-class public transport are debating how to tackle the stubborn minority of journeys still made by car, others – particularly in the US – have become so dependent on driving that opting out is almost impossible.

  • Oil firm seeks to reduce stake in carbon capture and storage projects in north-east of England after schemes fail to win over shareholders

    BP plans to sell stakes in two flagship carbon capture and storage projects in the north-east of England as the company continues to retreat from the green agenda.

    The oil company hopes to reduce its share in the Net Zero Teesside (NZT) project, which aims to develop the UK’s first gas power plant to be fitted with a controversial carbon capture system to remove its emissions.

  • Council’s plan will leave Federal Emergency Management Agency ill-equipped to respond to extreme weather events, experts say

    Sweeping changes may be in store at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), the nation’s frontline emergency response coordinator, that experts warned could further erode US capacity to handle disasters as the risks of extreme weather fueled by the climate crisis continue to rise.

    Fears about a fundamental overhaul of Fema’s form and function have been brewing since Donald Trump returned to the White House. After castigating the agency over claims that it was too expensive and “doesn’t get the job done”, Trump set to gutting Fema as an early priority for his second term.

  • In record 40C heat on 19 July 2022, 18 homes were lost in village of Wennington – a signal for firefighters to adapt, but UK response remains fragmented

    When neighbours urged Lynn Sabberton and her partner, Terry, to flee from their home in Wennington one day in 2022, the couple weren’t sure they should bother. A fire was burning in their village, on the eastern edge of London, but Terry thought it was too far away to be a problem. Struggling with a lung disease made worse by the record 40C heat that day, 19 July, he was wearing only his underwear and refused to budge from his armchair.

    Lynn remembers two police officers kicking open their front door and shouting that it was time to go. Lynn pleaded to be allowed to get Terry some clothes and was bundled upstairs to find them. Could she grab some papers? No. Her purse? No. Her cat, Jack? Also no.

  • As fuel prices soar, millions of Britons could reduce their electricity costs by installing home storage

    Consumers across the UK are bracing for the war in the Middle East to deliver a sharp rise in home energy bills from this summer.

    The looming energy cost crisis has prompted a record number of households to investigate green home upgrades to try to keep bills down, including heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicles.
