25 mars : la Journée de la grue en Suède

Dans le sud-est de la Suède, au Småland, Blekinge, Värmland, Öland… et même jusqu’au Danemark, une vieille tradition toujours vivante consiste à attendre l’arrivée des grues, un évènement qui annonce le printemps. Cet oiseau passe l’hiver sur le littoral du Maghreb ou en Espagne et retourne dans le nord de l’Europe dans le courant du mois de mars. Cette fête est appelée Trandagen ou la Journée de la grue. Les enfants font un dessin pour souhaiter un bon accueil à l’oiseau migrateur, on laisse une fenêtre ouverte pendant la nuit du 24 au 25 mars. Avec un peu de chance la grue apportera un petit cadeau ou au moins quelques bonbons, en forme d’œuf. Pour cela, la tradition veut que l’on laisse une chaussette suspendue près de son lit…

Cette fête agraire du retour de la lumière remonte à plusieurs siècles. Avec le jour de l'Annonciation, l'agriculture reprend son cours. Dans les anciennes communautés agricoles, l’année était divisée en quatre périodes. La première de l’année commençait le jour de l’Annonciation (25 mars) et durait jusqu’à la Saint-Jean (24 juin). 

Ailleurs en Suède (mais aussi en Norvège et au Danemark), le 25 mars, jour de l’Annonciation est aussi la journée des gaufres (våffeldagen). On raconte que c’est une simple question de phonétique. Vårfrudagen , qui signifie « Jour de Notre-Dame » (la fête de l'Annonciation), sonne comme våffeldagen (« jour de la gaufre »).

les mis and Ninety-Three are connected and this totally influences the fate of the characters!

Guys, please read this entire theory! EVERY detail is important! First of all, you need to know that Ninety-Three was Victor Hugo's last book, so he already had access to ALL the references present in the previous books! the character Gauvain has similarities with the character Enjolras, Michelle has similarities with Fantine and Cimourdain has similarities with Javert!

the book Ninety-Three was CREATED TO BE PART OF A TRILOGY THAT INCLUDED THE MAN WHO LAUGHED AND ANOTHER BOOK that was never written! The preface of The Man Who Laughs announces the future release of Ninety-Three!

L’HOMME QUI RIT

De l’Angleterre tout est grand, même ce qui n’est pas bon, même l’oligarchie. Le patriciat anglais, c’est le patriciat dans le sens absolu du mot. Pas de féodalité plus illustre, plus terrible et plus vivace. Disons-le, cette féodalité a été utile à ses heures. C’est en Angleterre que ce phénomène, la Seigneurie, veut être étudié, de même que c’est en France qu’il faut étudier ce phénomène, la Royauté. Le vrai titre de ce livre serait l’Aristocratie. Un autre livre, qui suivra, pourra être intitulé la Monarchie. Et ces deux livres, s’il est donné à l’auteur d’achever ce travail, en précéderont et en amèneront un autre qui sera intitulé: Quatrevingt-treize. Hauteville-House, 1869.

it is necessary to know Victor Hugo's lover: Julienne Josephine GAUVAIN, also known as Juliette Drouet! YES, she inspired the name of the noble family featured in the book Ninety-Three!

Now check this out! I'M SURE you'll be impressed

Les miserables vol 2 cosette book sixth - Le petit picpus chapter VII- some silhouettes of this darkness

The most esteemed among the vocal mothers were Mother Sainte-Honorine; the treasurer, Mother Sainte-Gertrude, the chief mistress of the novices; Mother-Saint-Ange, the assistant mistress; Mother Annonciation, the sacristan; Mother Saint-Augustin, the nurse, the only one in the convent who was malicious; then Mother Sainte-Mechtilde (Mademoiselle GAUVAIN), very young and with a beautiful voice; Mother des Anges (Mademoiselle Drouet), who had been in the convent of the Filles-Dieu, and in the convent du Trésor, between Gisors and Magny; Mother Saint-Joseph (Mademoiselle de Cogolludo), Mother Sainte-Adélaide (Mademoiselle d’Auverney), Mother Miséricorde (Mademoiselle de Cifuentes, who could not resist austerities), Mother Compassion (Mademoiselle de la Miltière, received at the age of sixty in defiance of the rule, and very wealthy); Mother Providence (Mademoiselle de Laudinière), Mother Présentation (Mademoiselle de Siguenza), who was prioress in 1847; and finally, Mother Sainte-Céligne (sister of the sculptor Ceracchi), who went mad; Mother Sainte-Chantal (Mademoiselle de Suzon), who went mad.

This nun with the surname Gauvain will be mentioned again! (did you notice that she has a small highlight?)

les miserables volume iv Saint Denis book fourth succor from below may turn out to be succor from on high chapter i A wound without, healing within

Sister Sainte-Mechtilde had taught Cosette music in the convent; Cosette had the voice of a linnet with a soul, and sometimes, in the evening, in the wounded man’s humble abode, she warbled melancholy songs which delighted Jean Valjean.

You might think it was just a tribute from Victor Hugo to his beloved, but what if I told you that it makes sense that this nun is related to two characters present in Victor Hugo's last book!

Les miserables volume ii cosette book sixth— le petit-picpus chapter III— austerities

One is a postulant for two years at least, often for four; a novice for four. It is rare that the definitive vows can be pronounced earlier than the age of twenty-three or twenty-four years. The Bernardines-Benedictines of Martin Verga do not admit widows to their order.

This shows that she is not a Gauvain through marriage but rather a Gauvain by birth! To be a Gauvain by birth she needs a Gauvain father! So her father is either the Viscount Gauvain or the Marquis de Lantenac!

Gauvain était-il amoureux ? Oui. De miséricorde. Faire grâce était son idéal. Pas de femme. Il semblait qu’il n’eût qu’une pensée dans ces temps terribles : attendrir la guerre civile

This deleted scene shows that Gauvain could only have married due to social pressure!

Being Gauvain's daughter, the nun could be at least 30 years old during the events of Les Misérables, it turns out that Victor Hugo describes her as very young, “her father” Gauvain is also described as young at that age…

In this part of the book Ninety-Three! we see that Lantenac has several candidates for his wife!

C’était un homme à femmes avant d’être un homme de guerre.

Remember that men can be fathers at any age! Check out the list of the oldest fathers in history! remember that Lantenac needed an heir after what happened to Gauvain!

Whether he was a father or not, Lantenac knew this girl! AND HE LIVED AT PETIT PICPUS! Yes! I'll show you how sure I am of that!

Les miserables volume ii Cosette book eighth— cemeteries take that which is committed them chapter IX—CLOISTERED

The walls of this chamber had for ornament, in addition to the two nails whereon to hang the knee-cap and the basket, a Royalist bank-note of ’93, applied to the wall over the chimney-piece, and of which the following is an exact facsimile:—

This specimen of Vendean paper money had been nailed to the wall by the preceding gardener, an old Chouan, who had died in the convent, and whose place Fauchelevent had taken.

Yes, the nuns know about Lantenac's past… and did you know that they paid homage to him when choosing Mademoiselle Gauvain's name as a nun? Saint Mechtilde was a saint known for her musical talents and her relationship with the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Chouan symbol)

I'm reading an excellent book by a Pullitzer Prize winner: The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo! I LOVE Alexandre Dumas and I think everyone should read his books and get to know his works! I think these excerpts from the book justify the nuns' view

I started researching the Vendee War and both books after reading this biography about Alexandre Dumas' father!

In your opinion, who is this nun's father?

so there are two options: she is the daughter of the Marquis de Lantenac and second cousin of Gauvain or she is the daughter of Gauvain and the Marquis is her arrière-grand-oncle (I don't speak French so correct me if I'm wrong!)

In the first image, we see a theme to which [Maurice] Denis will return again and again: the depiction of the Archangel Gabriel as a deacon bearing a book, almost as if Our Lady is the priest at the Solemn Mass to whom the book is being carried to her to kiss. In this very early depiction, painted when the artist was 19, he has even included a couple of acolytes bearing tapers. We something similar in this depiction ca. 1914, except that here the deacon-angel bows his head and raises his arms in a gesture of homage, while Our Lady bows her head in a reciprocal greeting. She is dressed as a bride.

One of my favorites is a depiction in which we see the familiar deacon-archangel holding a Gospel book, accompanied by the candlebearing acolytes, approaching the Blessed Virgin on what appears to be a rooftop terrace, with the sun streaming behind her (which is somewhat unconventional; usually the beam of light comes from across the scene from the other direction). The sublimity of the setting and its vertiginous perspective hint at the lofty grandeur of the miraculous conception.

New project coming soon!

A poetic journey where words become flesh and prophecy transforms into revelation. Cassandra is no longer an unheard voice but a proclamation of an unprecedented present. Gestures and words terraform the World of the Now, oscillating between chiasms and new gravitational planes.

Annonciation : Le "Oui" qui a changé le monde • La Foi Lumineuse de Mari...

[cbndf]

ANNONCIATION

La Fête de l'Annonciation, célébrée le 25 mars, est une solennité chrétienne marquant l'annonce faite par l'archange Gabriel à la Vierge Marie qu'elle deviendrait la mère de Jésus-Christ, le Fils de Dieu, par l'Esprit Saint. Cette fête est également connue comme le "Jour de l'Annonciation."

C'est un jour profondément symbolique, car il rappelle l'incarnation du Christ, point central de la foi chrétienne. Dans de nombreuses traditions, des messes spéciales sont organisées pour honorer cet événement, et des prières sont dédiées à Marie pour son rôle dans le salut de l'humanité.
