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.

  • North Norfolk: Every morning, an endless flow of pink-footed geese passes overhead. Their comings and goings define the day

    The first thing you hear is a raucous cacophony in the distance, ebbing and flowing. Then the first small specks appear, and soon the sky is filled with a seemingly never-ending flow of geese.

    These are pink-footed geese, who migrate to north Norfolk at the start of winter along with hundreds of thousands of other geese. They come here to escape the harsh winters of Siberia, Iceland and Greenland, where they breed. Norfolk has an abundance of food compared to the Arctic: leaves, berries, seeds and crop remains.

  • Southern Ocean waves are growing larger and faster, threatening coastlines. But some scientists think they could help turn the tide in the climate crisis

    In his remarkable memoir of his life chasing breaks in far-flung corners of the globe, Barbarian Days, the writer William Finnegan describes the “spooky duality” of waves, the way that, “when you are absorbed in surfing they seem alive. They each have personalities, distinct and intricate, and quickly changing moods, to which you must react in the most intuitive, almost intimate way – too many people have likened riding waves to making love. And yet waves are of course not alive, not sentient, and the lover you reach to embrace may turn murderous without warning.”

    This idea of duality is difficult to avoid when thinking about waves. In them we see energy and matter collapse into each other, find fluidity with structure and form, and the eternal in the transient, apprehend both beauty and symmetry and violence and terror. Likewise, the physics of waves are simultaneously very simple and impossibly complex, the non-linear nature of fluid dynamics meaning they can remain relatively regular or combine without warning into rogue waves capable of sweeping people off rocks and sinking ships.

  • Consumed by anger and still mourning a brother and bandmate, the British quartet have written their masterpiece. They explain how they’re fighting self-loathing and trying to age responsibly

    In a world of low royalties and short attention spans, not many bands make it to 11 albums, much less have their 11th be their masterpiece. But over the course of 20 years, the metalquartet Architects have inched towards this milestone. The Sky, the Earth & All Between sets out its scale in its title, where gigantic pop choruses soar over hellish chasms of churning noise, resulting in the most consistently sublime British rock album of this decade. The band are now at their arena-filling, Metallica-supporting peak, adored by millions.

    “But it means nothing,” says frontman, Sam Carter. “Because you don’t believe it. If you can’t access that part of you that lets it in, then it’s pointless.” Drummer and lyricist, Dan Searle, is equally downcast. “I punish myself, I loathe myself,” he says evenly, blinking behind his glasses. “I feel like I’m shit at everything.” Across two decades, the band have been buffeted by poor mental health, creative differences and an instance of particularly traumatic grief. While the pair are quick to joke during our long conversation in a London photo studio, and are clearly ravenously ambitious, I have never met a rock band as candid about their frailties.

  • Residents in Topanga Canyon – an area of Indigenous heritage and artists – mobilized against the state’s decision to bring in hazardous materials after wildfires

    Twenty years ago, it was called Rodeo Grounds – an eclectic neighborhood of artists, musicians and surfers living in beach shacks where Topanga Canyon meets the Pacific Ocean. In a bizarre agreement with the former owner some paid as little as $100 a month for rent, raising multiple generations of their families here since the 1950s. But that was before the state purchased the property and started evicting residents in 2001. Julie Howell, who once owned Howell-Green Fine Art Gallery further up in the canyon, says the bohemians were kicked out.

    “I actually had a show in my gallery 20 years ago for the group of artists who lived there at Rodeo Grounds, who they kicked out of that spot because it was so environmentally sensitive,” says Howell.

  • Residents battle food shortages and health issues after vast areas of forest and farmland burned last year

    As she walks away from the house where she raised her family, Isabel Surubí pauses to point at the bed of a stream, now covered with dry leaves, that once supplied her entire community. “The water used to come from here,” she says.

    In 2024, wildfires in Bolivia burned more than 10m hectares (about 39,000 sq miles) of forest, farmland and savannah – an area greater than the size of Portugal. After the fires, and the drought that preceded them, the spring feeding Surubí’s village of Los Ángeles in Bolivia’s tropical dry forest ran dry.
