Edessa, Greece 1903

[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)

Bardaisan: Harp of the Pearl (poem about the life and works of Bardaisan)

Son of the river Daiṣān that flowed with much joy Sailed into this world through ancient Edessa Hear: He is the true harp of the Holy Spirit Once a follower of the oracles of stars Soon realized the dark blindness of their teachings When he saw the light of the Son rise in the east No longer shooting arrows in the void and dark Going here and there like wandering planets Where no dim star could even bring a single spark He used his high-priced arrows of piercing insight His light and well-crafted bow of eloquence The sight and light of Christ with their radiant strength To save pearls of white from serpents of muddy black To pierce into the fabric of light and dark To save the maiden of truth from lions and wolves He sent for the philosopher king of sheol Pleading for the maiden to be safe from wolves But arrows never entered the emperor’s soul He made one hundred and fifty silver arrows That shone for ages and even wolves howled to The first of their kind in the land of Syria Though almost all these arrows faded from the world One arrow termed “Arrow of the Pearl” survived Enshrined as the most splendorous arrow crafted This arrow pierces flesh and frees the star within Rescues pearls from the black serpent of Egypt And returns those pearls to the Queen of the Dawn land He wrote about the land of the Ganges River He crafted a bow with the aid of its saints To shine light on this land of colourful idols His student crafted the oldest bow in Syria That the endless dust of time has not consumed In his name and with his arrows that left his mouth This bow showed the folly of the star oracles Showed how stars do not fully rule man’s spirit And displayed the fruit that could grow in man’s freedom According to legends older than those free stars He pierced into the soul of Abgar IX With the arrow of the only-begotten sun What is as sure as the sun rising each morning Is that the Empire of the Eagle flew And slew the kingdom of Edessa with its claws Abgar IX was forced into robes of grey chains With a crown of scorn to mark his last defeat While Emperor Caracalla squawked at his small prey Caracalla and his pets devoured many Many Students of the harp and archer died At last, the eagle went to the archer himself They demanded him to leave the light of the Son Meaning the sight that gave his archery skill He refused, prepared to face the darkness of death They banished him, though not out of this hylic life But to the dark and lonely walls of Ani The Son of the Daiṣān was then near his bright end On his deathbed, with a student and his two sons Seeing the white light out of this dark fortress He remembered his own words as a final prayer “When at the end of all shall it be ours in full To look on your banquet, oh Father of All To see the young maiden of truth in her splendour” “Your young and innocent daughter will be allowed To sit on your knee and get endless comforted" He then returned his pearl to the land of comfort Hear: He is the true harp of the Holy Spirit The first crafted harp adorned with brown berylls Whom a future craftsman copied from with iron He is now at the ancient fountain of joy Source of that flowing river that none can destroy

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.

I need you to bow

[onenicebugperday]

It's a stink bug in the genus Edessa (maybe E. bella), and those are not eyes despite looking like them. Here's a photo to make it clearer:

There you can see the head and actual eyes behind where the antennae are attached.

Not sure if the "eyes" on the pronotum are a form of mimicry or if it just happens to look like eyes to us.
