[whencyclopedia]

The First Crusade (1096–1099) was a pivotal military expedition initiated by Western European Christians in response to Pope Urban II’s call at the Council of Clermont in 1095. Aimed at reclaiming Jerusalem and other holy sites in the Levant from Muslim control, the Crusade was driven by a combination of religious zeal, desire for adventure, and political motives. Led by prominent nobles and knights...

📍Cliff of Edessa,Pella,Greece 🇬🇷

Colours of morning and evening’s are always romantic. Something soft and gentle I can feel every time the horizon. The lands of multicultural heritage and traditions are amazing during this period of the day.

Χαιρε! do you have any photos of traditional clothing from the central Macedonia region?

Hello! Sure, there are of course so many different attires from all the regions of Central Macedonia, let alone given the historical diversity in the area, but I can give some examples! Added a lot of pictures so I put this under the cut:

Édessa, Pella.

Prómahi, Pella.

Drymós, Thessaloniki.

Vlachs of Serres.

Chalcidice and Ierissós.

Chalcidice

Véria, Imathia.

Another type from Véria, Imathia.

Yenitsaros of Náoussa, Imathia.

Episkopí, Imathia.

Halastra, Thessaloniki.

And my fave from the entire region:

Let´s stop at some point. My fave with all its variations is from Rumluki, Alexandria, Imathia.

Here I am, raggedy hiking clothes, no makeup, a little sunburnt and I feel more alive than I have in many years. Sometimes this trip has been really challenging. I’m alone, I booked my stays without really understanding the different regions, communication has occasionally been rough, etc. but I’m really proud that I got myself here. If this kind of trip seems out of reach for any of you, it did to me too but I’m here because I’m full of piss and vinegar and I hate being told I can’t do something. So I’m in Greece because of spite, sort of. I’m hiking nearly everyday, I’m eating well, and I’m putting myself into situations that can be uncomfortable. But the payoffs have been worth the awkward situations I keep finding myself in. I’ve interviewed a Greek family about plants and herbs, I’ve trekked to mountain villages that have never seen American tourists, I’ve stood up for myself when people were fucking awful, I’ve been to archaeological sites that I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little girl. I just feel kind of radiant here. I’m almost to the apex of my trip here, Delphi, the spot I’m most excited to see, and I can’t wait to get immersed in the site and see what plants are growing there, and get inspired to do some new things. If you could ask the oracle at Delphi any question, what would you ask?

Şanlıurfa to historyczna Edessa lub Urfa położona w południowo-wschodniej Turcji. W antyku centrum chrześcijaństwa syryjskiego, znane z wizerunku Chrystusa tak zwanego mandylionu z Edessy. Miejsce to jest nazywane miastem proroków i jest celem pielgrzymek, gdzie według tradycji muzułmańskiej narodził się patriarcha Abraham i mieszkał przez pewien czas biblijny Hiob. Şanlıurfa to ormiańskie: Urhai, kurdyjskie: Riha, arabskie: Ar-Ruha, staro-greckie: Orra, Bizantyjczycy nazywali miasto Justinopolis, łacińskie: Edessa, natomiast turecka nazwa to Urfa gdzie później dodano przedrostek Şanlı oznaczającego wielki, zwycięski. W czasach hellenistycznych położona na tzw. jedwabnym szlaku Edessa stała się jednym z ważniejszych ośrodków miejskich ówczesnej Syrii (Arkadiusz Miodek)

Judah Benzion Segal – Urfa: Kutsanmış Şehir Edessa (2024)

Hıristiyan âleminde Hıristiyanlığı kabul eden ilk krallık olarak büyük saygı gören ve dârülislâma dönüştükten sonra kutsallığından bir şey kaybetmeyen Edessa, bugünkü adıyla Urfa, Süryani Kilisesinin kalbi oldu, Doğudan ve Batıdan gelen birçok azizle hacıyı bağrına bastı. Judah Benzion Segal, tarih boyunca pek çok farklı millet tarafından idare edilen ve Mezopotamya’nın tarihsel dönüşümlerini de…

Yerel seçimler yaklaşıyor. Her parti kendi adayını belirliyor. Dem parti hariç diğer tüm partilerin aday belirleme süreçleri, kendi merkez yürütme organları tarafından belirleniyor... Dem parti ise doğrudan demokrasiyi (halkın esas katılımı) esas alarak ön seçimler yapıyor. Bu ön seçimlerde kim halk tarafından en çok oyu alırsa, o aday oluyor ve yerel seçimlere halk adına girmeye hak kazanıyor. Dem partinin kuruluş amacı bu iken geçmişte bunu hayata geçirmedi. Geç de olsa geçirmiş olması güzel ve bu halkta güzel bir heyecana vesile oldu.

Diğer bir konu; seçimleri kazanırsa kayyum atanır mı korkusu ve endişesi var..

Türkiye'nin giderek totaliterleşen siyasi yapısı hiç de bunu hazmedecek bir yapı değil ve tekrar kayyum atmaya müsait bir durum söz konusu.

Umarım olmaz.
