o Santiago Mata-Mouros

O anti-semitismo tem em Portugal raizes profundas no culto a Santo Iago, um subproduto proveniente de Santiago de Compostela e da crença da aparição dos restos mortais e bocados de roupa do apóstolo de Cristo na Galiza, que veio por ai abaixo exportado em conjunto com as Cruzadas que expulsaram os Mouros da Peninsula Ibérica; o “santinho” alentejano Ti Iago (O nome Tiago deriva indirectamente do latim Iacobus, por sua vez uma latinização do nome hebraico Jacob (aportuguesado em Jacó) , foi um misto de guerreiro e santo com jeito e eficácia garantida na matança de muçulmanos (que toma a espada pela primeira vez em 23 de maio de 844 para ajudar Ramiro I do reino das Astúrias na batalha de Claravijo, contra o vizir árabe Abderramán Sanchuelo. Como na época as etnias não se distinguiam muito bem entre si, o conflito assumiu a forma de guerra civil no Al Andalus); Iago foi depois popularizado pelo poder dos vencedores e assimilado pela mitologia popular como “Santiago Mata-Mouros”, o símbolo da Reconquista, em honra do qual foi fundada a Igreja Matriz de Santiago Maior da cidade hoje denominada Santiago do Cacém. Curioso como vamos encontrar, séculos depois, na recente exposição "O Caminho das Estrelas" (uma vista privilegiada sobre a Via Láctea e os potenciais predadores), um santinho idêntico, feito em Cuzco, no Peru trabalhado a prata: o Santiago Mata-Espanhóis.( beatificadas em massa, que foram "as vítimas", pelo Vaticano como mártires espanhóis) Curiosa ainda a récita de encerramento do “Festival de Música Sacra do Baixo Alentejo” que teve lugar na citada Igreja Matriz neste último sábado com a presença de, mais ou menos, uma terça parte do Coro Gulbenkian. Santigo do Cacém é conhecida por a paróquia oferecer 1 euro por cada habitante que seja visto na rua depois das 20 horas – daí a expectativa em torno de prémios de presença ao evento ser desencorajante; valeu no caso uma bem nutrida camioneta de excursão de um lar de idosos de Beja que cumpriu a função. Empolgante, quando a comadre Ifigénia (nome fictício) depois de se benzer para o altar e arregalar as orelhas para o cristão Magnificat em honra de Maria se vira para a Ti Jesuina: “já tinhas visto isto assim tã bonite?” – “atão não te alembras quando fomos ao Politeama?” – e eis aqui o delicioso epílogo da estória de como o Filipe La Féria angariou dois votos seguros contra o terrorismo islâmico

I like double-talk, it wakes up the brain cells. Illusion is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a technique of looking at life with the aid the awful end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to ridicule at subsistence's realities.

A man begins cutting his insight teeth the initially often he bites out more than he can chew.

To be a noble lenient being is to have a philanthropic of openness to the far-out, an gift to guardianship aleatory things beyond your own manage, that can take you to be shattered in hugely extreme circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably impressive thither the condition of the principled life: that it is based on a trust in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a treasure, something rather tenuous, but whose very precise handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.

Work out ferments the humors, casts them into their adapted channels, throws bad redundancies, and helps nature in those secretive distributions, without which the solidity cannot subsist in its vigor, nor the incarnation fake with cheerfulness.
