The "Brrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!" at 6 am awoke me for a sound sleep dreaming of pies...apple-type pies, trying to perfect one, busy, busy dream. Nor sex, not, violence...just pie making silliness. Getting the apples, deciding which one to use, cutting them up with the funny apple peeler-corer that we have, then arranging all the sticky slices this way and that, counter clockwise then clockwise, sticky hands, baking the shells, burning one, replacing it. Rush, rush...omg...a DONKEY!!!! Looking outside I saw one on the Champ du Foire a block away. It begins.
The "It" is the annual Donkey Faire in Lignieres, falls 51 days after Easter and is the birthday of the Donkey that Joseph and Mary had raised to carry her to Bethlehem or wherever they were intent on going before The BIG EVENT happened. Oh brother...here's the REAL story (!!!!...MYTH) of Pentacost, pay attention. Sit up straight!
"
Pentecost (Ancient Greek: Πεντηκοστή [ἡμέρα], Pentēkostē [hēmera], "the fiftieth [day]") is the Greek name for the Feast of Weeks, a prominent feast in the calendar of ancient Israel celebrating the giving of the Law on Sinai. This feast is still celebrated in Judaism as Shavuot. Later, in the Christian liturgical year, it became a feast commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ (120 in all), as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1–31.[1] For this reason, Pentecost is sometimes described by some Christians today as the "Birthday of the Church".
In the Eastern church, Pentecost can also refer to the whole fifty days between Easter and Pentecost, hence the book containing the liturgical texts for Paschaltide is called the Pentecostarion. The feast is also called White Sunday, or Whitsunday, especially in England, where the following Monday was traditionally a public holiday. Pentecost is celebrated seven weeks (50 days) after Easter Sunday, hence its name.[2] Pentecost falls on the tenth day after Ascension Thursday.
The Pentecostal movement of Christianity derives its name from the New Testament event."
It's hot, not screaming hot like it can be but hot enough to turn the fan on or sleep on top of the covers at night for a while. We lowered the blinds in the south facing rooms, the Sale du Bain, the Sewing Room and the upstairs hallway to keep the sun out.
Tonight is the Jamaica vs France Preliminary match (soccer you sillies!) at 8:45 live on FR1. Go FRANCE!!!!
