Sveti Valentin – nebeski zaštitnik zaljubljenih

Sveti Valentin i Dan zaljubljenih... Teško je protumačiti činjenicu da se u narodu naročito štuju baš oni sveci o kojima nemamo nikakvih sigurnih povijesnih podataka. Tako je u svijetu vrlo rašireno štovanje sv. Valentina. Kod nas su ovome svecu posvećeni mnogi oltari, osobito na području stare zagrebačke nadbiskupije, a u Batini u Baranji podignuta mu je župna crkva. Mnogi bi vjernici htjeli što više saznati o tom “popularnom” svecu. Nažalost, sve ono što se o njemu zna više je legenda nego stvarni podaci. Ipak, evo nekih poznatih izvještaja.   Rimski martirologij spominje sv. Valentina s izvještajem koji potječe od sv. Bede Časnoga iz VIII. stoljeća. On ga je uzeo iz legendarne muke Marisa i Marte. Tu se o sv. Valentinu kaže da je bio svećenik u Rimu i da se odlikovao mudrošću i kreposnim životom. Zbog toga je uživao veliki ugled i kod pogana i kod kršćana. Car Klaudije II. Gotski (268-270) htio ga je osobno upoznati. Valentin je slutio što bi mu se nakon susreta s carem moglo dogoditi pa se zato molitvom spremio za skori kraj života, za mučeničku smrt. Okrijepljen snagom svetih sakramenata hrabro je stupio pred cara, a on mu je rekao: “Valentine, rado bih čuo tvoju mudrost i želio bih biti tvoj prijatelj. Za uzvrat samo jedno od tebe tražim: povratak staroj vjeri u rimske bogove.” Valentin je odvratio: “Svijetli care, kad bi bar nešto slutio od Božje slave, to nikad ne bi od mene tražio. Krist je za mene pravi Sin Božji.” Na upit jednoga od sudaca što misli o bogovima, odgovorio je: “To su demoni!” Sudska skupština se podigla na noge te zatražila Valentinovu smrt. Valentin je zamolio od cara samo koji trenutak te mu na brzinu protumačio osnovne kršćanske istine. Car je bio duboko potresen. Ali je gradski prefekt uzviknuo: “Valentin je čarobnjak!” Na to je nastala velika gužva. Car se prestrašio bune u narodu pa je Valentina predao gradskom prefektu, a ovaj opet sucu Asteriju. Molitvom i polaganjem ruku Valentin mu je ozdravio slijepu kćerku. Asterije se odmah dao krstiti te je uskoro skupa sa svojom obitelji umro mučeničkom smrću. Gradski je prefekt starca svećenika Valentina dao istući, a zatim je naredio da mu odrube glavu. Bilo je to godine 269. na Flaminijskoj cesti. Mučenika je pokopala neka žena Sabinilla. Drugi izvještaj, novijeg datuma, spominje da je na mučenikovu grobu papa Julije I. dao sagraditi baziliku. Nju je kasnije pregradio i obnovio papa Teodor. Pisani spomenici VII. stoljeća spominju da je bila prekrasno urešena. Svečev se blagdan slavio već za vrijeme pape Grgura Velikog. Narod ga zaziva u pomoć kod očnih bolesti, padavice i u drugim potrebama sve tamo od ranoga srednjeg vijeka. (Prema: Josip Antolović: “Duhovni velikani – Sveci Katoličke Crkve”) Po čemu je onda sv. Valentin zaštitnik zaljubljenih, na temelju čega se slavi današnje popularno Valentinovo? Prema jednoj od legendi, sveti je Valentin volio ruže, mirisno cvijeće, koje je poklanjao zaručnicima da bi im na taj način zaželio sretno bračno zajedništvo. Običaj slavljenja Valentinova danas je najrašireniji u anglosaksonskim zemljama. Na taj dan svi su uključeni u ritual darivanja. Prijatelji, roditelji, zaljubljeni svi jedni drugima žele “Sretno Valentinovo”. Pošte su zatrpane čestitkama s nacrtanim srcima, Amorima i Kupidima. Zaljubljeni pišu pjesme, u lokalnim novinama objavljuju ljubavne poruke, izrađuju male predmete u obliku srca… U svakom slučaju, ne provjeravajući istinitost različitih legendi, ako ste već zaljubljeni i ako želite baš na ovaj dan nekim ljupkim znakom pažnje iznenaditi “odabranicu/-ika srca svoga”, ne dajte se obeshrabriti!

AY!!!! My uncle used to live there before he moved to Sabinillas on 2007 and oh my GOD, it's SO pretty. I remember just going on hikes in the spring and being overwhelmed by the smells of it all. It felt magical.

there's this valley in málaga, the tejeda valley, that had a temple to diana in roman days and it's still to this day referred to as 'valley of the moon'. also the patron saints in the towns of the valley are our lady of the moon (la virgen de la luna). knowing that this coexists with lorca's imaginery, hijo de la luna, and the fact that they are quite literally worshipping the moon in this area makes me feel so much

ROMAN roots run deep throughout the Iberian Peninsula but this westerly corner of the Costa del Sol really tickled Roman legion fancies for the climate,  the fishing, the farming … and for its strategic position at the gateway to the Mediterranean … and home.

Stone Age man and many later invaders liked it too but it was the Roman Empire – to which it once belonged – that really put what we now call Manilva and San Luis de Sabinillas on the map.

What did the Romans do for us? They made the region rich, they brought work, they built roads just like in the Monty Python sketch. The area was as well-connected then as it is today. They left behind fascinating ruins and a working Roman health spa you can still check into. And it’s free.

Goddess Artio - Artist unknow - Found on Etsy

The Celtic Goddess Artio, and the cult of the bear

The religion of the Goddess

The Gods and Goddesses invoked by the Celtic tribes are innumerable, especially since during the Roman occupation, the Roman pantheon was added to them.

Among the goddesses, Artio is a Mother Goddess, most likely one of the figures of the Great Goddess.  Its symbolism was attached to the bear as an animal, but also to the pole star and the constellations of the small and big Dipper.  The pole star is located in the axis of rotation of the Earth.  By its immobility, it allows the traveler to have a reliable landmark.  In esotericism, she is a guide, she symbolizes the promise of the victory of the initiate against darkness, errors, bewilderment.

Big and Little Bear Constellations

The bear is the emblematic animal of royalty among the Celts, knowing that in this civilization, sovereignty was transmitted by women.  The root "Art" means "Bear" in Gallic.  This same origin is found in Irish "Art", Welsh "Arth", "hartz" in Basque and "Arz" in Breton.  This root can also be attributed to the Celtic King Arthur.  She is also related to the Greek Goddess Artemis (arctos = bear in Greek), one of whose attributes is also the bear, and who is associated with a number of Great Goddesses: Ishtar, Diana, Cybele... The goddesses wore  multiple names according to ethnic groups or regions.  It is however possible to associate deities.  Even if they have different names, by observing their attributes and myths, it can be deduced that they are the same deity.

The cult of the goddess to the bear was practiced in an area ranging from Bern among the Helvetians, to Trier among the Treveri;  with an extension to the north of Gaul under the name of Ursa.

Goddess Artio - Bronze statuette - Muri - Bern

A magnificent bronze statuette was unearthed in Muri, in the Bern region.  The base bears the words: Deae Artioni / Licinia Sabinilla (to the Goddess Artio, from Licinia Sabinilla).  We see a small fruit tree quite bare.  It bears only two branches, a leaf and two fruits.  Its representation is reminiscent of the symbolism of the serpent, one of the main emblems of the Great Goddess.  The serpent connects divinity to Knowledge and the Creation of the world.  A bear on all fours, head raised and mouth ajar, stares at the goddess Artio.  The attitude is not aggressive, but testifies to the power of the animal's presence.  The representation of the goddess is apparently a later addition, corresponding to the Roman goddess Abundance.  The Roman invader replaced as many Celtic deities as possible with his own.  If an equivalent deity existed in the Roman pantheon, this took the place of the local deity.  This explains why we find in France many temples dedicated to Mars, for example.  Only the Celtic deities remained who could not be syncretized.  But here, the dedication to Artio leaves no room for doubt.  It is a tribute to the Bear Goddess.  The statuette may have been restored following a partial destruction from a pre-existing work.

Artio is a Lady protector of Nature, she masters its wild forces.  She is part of the large Potnia Theron family.  This name historically corresponds to the Minoan Great Goddess, Mistress of wildlife.  Today it is extended to numerous deities representing this same power.  Protector, nurturer, guardian, her potentials are infinite.  The symbolism of the bear connects the goddess to the laws and cycles of nature, to which the human submits if he wants to be able to survive.

The bear, a powerful yet tender and peaceful animal, is fertilized at the end of summer.  In the fall she prepares for the big sleep.  Indolence sets in, it feeds on anticipation.  In winter, it hibernates, nestled in its cave.  She explores the darkness of the soul, the world of dreams, of the impalpable.  It is during this period that she gives birth to her baby, and breastfeeds him to strengthen him.  In the spring, the bear and her cub finally come out to conquer the world.  The sap circulates again in the plants, nature unfolds.  In summer, generous nature offers its most precious fruits, and the bear is already stocking up for next winter.  In many myths, the goddess gives birth to a young god at the same rate as the bear.  This tribute to the intangible cycles of the Living is a constant in the devotion to the Ladies of ancient times.

Our Neanderthal cousin already seems to have revered the bear.  An 80,000-year-old sanctuary that housed Neanderthal bones and those of bears under the same slab was discovered in the Régourdou cave in Périgord.

Homo sapiens has also integrated the bear into its places of worship.  Thus, 30,000 years ago in the Chauvet cave, where bear skulls were intentionally placed.  Likewise in the cave of Montespan where a clay statuette of the animal is associated with a real skull.  Subsequently, many cultures integrate rituals and sometimes violent festivities around the bear throughout Europe, but also in Asia and America.

Christendom will vigorously fight against these practices deemed transgressive and diabolical.  This will accelerate bear hunts and the virtual disappearance of the animal from our countries.

Day of the Bear - (Hartza eguna) - Pays Basque - France

However, the Nivkhes, an ethnic group from southern Russia, and the Ainu of Japan have long preserved a bear festival, linked to ancestral shamanic rituals.  A bear cub captured in summer was fed and pampered by the women of the clan, before being put to death in winter in a sacred manner.  This sacrifice is for these peoples a means of honoring the spirit of the bear, and of the divine.  The bear is offered a fabulous banquet before being slaughtered.  He then becomes the messenger of the tribe, and is supposed, once passed in the world of the invisible, to testify to the divinities and ancestors how much he has been honored, and to transmit messages and prayers to them.  Thus, ensuring the protection of the whole clan for the coming year.  Among the Basques, bears and humans have common ancestors.  For them the bear symbolizes the return to life (spring), but also the resurrection.  Many Basque festivals incorporate the "Day of the Bear" (Hartza eguna).
