Peeping Through the Window Cover Print Compressed Peeping through the Window Leabhar na bhFeílte Festivals 2 Festivals “We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood” -John Amos Comenius When our schools set off on our Comenius journey we had similar hopes, fears and expecta- tions. We were looking for learning opportunities, ways to communicate and to make new friends. Our original plan focused on three themes to bring us together: Food, Games and Fes- tivals. The themes were well chosen as they were universal and yet so different in each coun- try. This is a book about festivals and reading through it you will find a common message of cele- brating, joy and sharing. The book reflects the hard work of teachers and students in all four countries: Ireland, Turkey, Spain and Germany. It is entirely appropriate therefore that one of the final acts of the project is a coming together and celebration in Germany. “Bir elin nesi var, iki elin sesi var” “El trabajo compartido es mas llevadero” “ Viele Hände macht leicht Arbeit ” “Ni neart go cur le chéile” (strength in unity ) St. Patrick’s Comenius Team, Tuam 3 4 Table of Contents Festivals Na Féilte January 6th Page 7 The Three Wise Men (Spain) February 1st Page 11 Saint Brigid’s Day (Ireland) February Page 13 (40 days before Easter) Carnival (Spain) March 17th Page 18 Saint Patrick’s Day (Ireland) April 23rd Page 21 National Sovereignty & Chil- dren's Day (Turkey) May 19th Page 23 Commemoration of Statürk Youth & Sports Day (Turkey) June 24th Page 25 Saint John’s Night (Spain) July 8th Page 29 Celebration of Saint Killian (Germany) August 16th Page 31 Celebration of Saint Rochus (Germany) September Page 33 Ramadan Festival (Turkey) October 31st Page 35 Halloween (Ireland) November 11th Page 38 Saint Martin’s Day (Germany) December 25th Page 41 Celebration of Christmas (Germany) 5 6 FESTIVALS “The three Wish Men ” Date: 6ºth of January In Spain we celebrate an special day a little bit diferent from other cristians countries.

It’s the summer solstice 25 The bonfire in the summer solstice 26 People dancing arround the bonfire 27 28 Celebration of St. Kilian in July in Würzburg – Germany on the „Alte Mainbrücke“ in Würzburg Why do we celebrate the Kiliani Festival? Kilian was born anno Domini 640 at Mullagh, County Cavan, Ireland. With his two companions Kolonat and Totnan he left Ireland in a small boat arriving at Würzburg at the year 686. He became something like a bishop at the court of Duke Gozbert. Kilian wanted, that the Duke Gozbert should be divorced from his wife Gailana, because she had been the wife of his brother, who has died. This was incest by the Christian opinion at that time. A legend tells us, that Gailana gave the order to murder Kilian and his companions in the year 689 when her husband was not at home. The dead bodies were buried in the horse stable. In the year 752 the bodies have been found and became Saints of the Diocese of Würzburg. Bishop Burghard erected a wooden chapel at the place where Kilian and his companions have been found. Today at this place is the church of Neumünster, where we can see the copies of the three Saints made by the great artist Riemenschneider. The bones of the three Franconian apostles are kept in a reliquary casket in the crypt of the Neumünster church. The heads are kept in a casket of quartz in the altar of the cathedral, which is named after Saint Kilian. This casket is presented to the public at the Kiliani-Festival at the 8 th of July. During this time there is a folk festival and a trade fair at the Talavera place. You can find Kilian everywhere in the city. He is one of the statues on the old Main-Bridge, another statue can be seen in front of the Kilian-House beside the cathedral. Outside the main station there is the Kilian-Fountain, which is restored at the moment. 29 30 Celebration of St. Rochus in August in Versbach/Würzburg - Germany Why have we the Rochus Festival in Versbach? Each year we celebrate the Rochus Festival at the 16 th of August. It is tradition at Versbach, which is a district of Würzburg. The saint Rochus was the patron of the pestilence. A hundred years ago there was a great pestilence epidemic in this region. Also at Versbach many people died by pestilence. The saint Rochus attended the sick persons, until he died himself by pestilence. His loyal dog licked the wounds of his master till death and brought him bread, because nobody wanted to give Rochus something to eat. We thank the saint Rochus for his devotional help by celebrating the Rochus Festival each year.

He was courageous and keen in fight, friendly and helpful to the conquered, decent and honest to his comrades. He soon got a lot of friends and also got a high reputation. At the age of 20 years the Roman emperor made him to Tribune, a captain of a detachment of Roman soldiers. Together with his legion went over the land and battled against those, who were against the Roman domination. Again and again the Roman legions had to force them with sword and fire. One day the legion of Martin entered the city of Amiens. It was autumn, a cold wind stormed over the bare fields. The soldiers looked for a warm house and marched very quickly though the town gate. There cowered an old beggar, hungry and freezing because he was half naked. With trembling voice he asked for a charity. But the soldiers passed him very quickly. They gave him no glance. Then Martin came riding on his horse, wearing a red coat which was rich decorated. The soldiers were very astonished, because Marin stopped his horse, got down and went to the beggar, who upraised his hands asking for a charity. Martin looked at him and pulled his sword out of the scabbard. The soldiers glared at her Tribune. What did want to do? Why took he his sword – the beggar was defenceless? Martin held with his left hand the one half of his coat and cut it off with his sword.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

  • Subject: the Origin of Andreas Killian
    The origin of Andreas Killian by: William McCreight – July 2003 This report has been outdated by new research by William McCreight (2009 - 2010) TO: All interested in Killians This is a recent email sent to me by William McCreight [RIN 43169] he was born in Newton, NC but has lived in Germany for several years. He and I have carried on some correspondence for a few years. He has made an in depth study, in Germany, of Andreas' possible ancestry. Copied below are his comments concerning his investigation. They should be of interest to all with Killian ancestry. I, George W. Killian, have a large database of Killian data on the Internet. Instructions for viewing the database may be found at the end of this letter. In the database each person has a unique identifying number - in my genealogy program they are called Record Information Numbers [RINs]. I have added these numbers after a few of the names that William McCreight mentions - they are the same as the ID#s used at the web site. William McCreight's email address is: [email protected] My email address is: [email protected] Subject: The origin of Andreas Killian Dear George, As you know, I have been trying to confirm your father's speculation that Andreas Killian [RIN 51] was the son of Wolfgang-Philipp Kilian [RIN 937]. Your father Cletus Hugo Killian RIN 5] based this primarily on the fact that Wolfgang-Philipp died in the same year [1732] Andreas immigrated to America.

  • The Schottenklöster in the World: Identity, Independence and Integration*
    chapter 16 The Schottenklöster in the World: Identity, Independence and Integration* Diarmuid Ó Riain Introduction One of the central concerns of the original Enclaves of Learning, Religion, Ideology and Practice working group was to examine the multifaceted connec- tions between the “enclave” and the surrounding world and to illustrate how texts produced within these communities served to both record and reinter- pret this interaction as well as having the potential to change the underlying relationships.1 This approach essentially treats of the physical, legal or other factors underpinning the identification as an enclave of learning, religion, ideol- ogy and practice within the broader context of the institution’s social relations, thereby seeking to redress the potentially problematic semantic implications of the term “enclave”. The focus of my paper will be the so-called Schottenklöster or Irish Benedictine monasteries, which were established between the later 11th and early 13th centuries in modern-day southern Germany and Austria. That the monasteries of medieval Europe were deeply embedded in the wider social environment rather than detached islands goes, of course, almost with- out saying.2 This reality coexisted, however, with what Hallinger called the traditional gegenweltliche instincts of monasticism, and the rhetoric of with- drawal from the world would always remain prominent, particularly in the context of the emergence of new monastic movements.3 What makes the Schottenklöster an especially interesting case-study with regard to the interplay between idealized detachment and actual integration is the issue of ethnicity; the Irish identity of the monasteries was their sine qua non, and, accordingly, had a profound influence on the level of independence and integration they * The research for this article was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF): F42 Visions of Community.

  • Jews and the Monasteries of Germany
    NEIGHBORS, PARTNERS, ENEMIES: JEWS AND THE MONASTERIES OF GERMANY IN THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by John D. Young __________________________________ John Van Engen, Director Graduate Program in Medieval Studies Notre Dame, Indiana September 2011 © Copyright by John D. Young 2011 All rights reserved NEIGHBORS, PARTNERS, ENEMIES: JEWS AND THE MONASTERIES OF GERMANY IN THE HIGH MIDDLE AGES Abstract by John D. Young German-speaking lands in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries were home to the largest Jewish communities north of the Alps and Pyrenees and thus constituted key locations for Christian-Jewish interaction. This dissertation examines the monasteries of Germany—the primary centers of intellectual and cultural production in the high medieval Empire—as loci for that interaction. It explores both the social/economic and the cultural aspect of contact between monks and Jews. In the process, it challenges traditional interpretations of Christian-Jewish relations and helps to fill in the picture of the lives and activities of monks in this period. The study proceeds in three parts. Part one, comprising the first three chapters, examines the political context wherein Jews and monks interacted before investigating evidence of contact between Jews and monks in the social and economic spheres. This evidence demonstrates that Jewish communities and monasteries occupied similar John D. Young political positions in this society—due to their mutual reliance on the institution of privilege—and that they engaged frequently in business dealings with each other.

  • Saint Kilian Info
    Saint Kilian also spelled Killian (or alternatively Irish: Cillian) Irish Franconian Apostle Born - 640 AD Died - 8 July 689 Venerated in the Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox Churches Feast Day - July 8th Attributes – Usually depicted wearing a bishop's mitre and wielding a sword Patron St of - sufferers of rheumatism! Statue of Saint Kilian (with the Saint Kilian, also spelled Killian (or alternatively Irish: Cillian), was an Irish missionary Fortress at Marienbergin the bishop and the Apostle of Franconia (nowadays the northern part of Bavaria), where he background) began his labours towards the end of the 7th century. His feast day is July 8. Background, History & Story There are several biographies of him. The oldest texts which refer to him are an 8th century necrology at Würzburg and the notice by Hrabanus Maurus in his martyrology. The name has several variations in spelling (e.g. Chillian, Killian, Cilian, Kilian). In Ireland, the preferred spelling is Cillian; the name appears thus in the Irish liturgical calendar. Originally in born in Ireland in the 7th century, St Kilian had a major role in the growth of Würzburg into a city, as his rediscovered remains became a point of pilgrimage to the settlement. St Kilian is the patron saint of Würzburg and the Würzburg Cathedral is dedicated to him. St Kilian settled in this part of Franconia in the middle of the 7th century and started preaching his message of Christianity. He managed to convert the local ruler, Count Gosbert, but mixed himself too far into marital (and political) matters. In the Franconian area it was customary for a widow to be remarried to the brother of her dead husband, so that she could be cared for and this is what Gosbert and his sister-in-law had done in the past.

  • A Fruitful Partnership: Jews and the Canons of St. Kilian in Twelfth-Century Würzburg
    A Fruitful Partnership: Jews and the Canons of St. Kilian in Twelfth-century Würzburg by JOHN D. YOUNG, St. Augustine, FL, USA Over the course of about a century, from around 1120 to around 1220, the canons of St. Kilian, caretakers of the Neumünster church in Würzburg (with its sacred grave and relics of the Franconian apostle St. Kilian) had frequent – one might even say constant – business dealings with the Jews of that same city.1 Most of these economic interactions involved land: the transfer of property, mostly in the city, from one party to another, either from the Jews to the canons, from the canons to the Jews, or from a third party to either the canons or the Jews with the other acting as another agent in the transaction. Put together, the sources detailing these land transactions approach the richness of, for instance, the Schreinskarten of the parish of St. Lawrence in Cologne, one of the key sources for Matthias Schmandt’s excellent study of the Cologne Jews.2 Despite thorough explorations by mostly German scholars on the spread of Jewish settlements throughout the Reich and on specific Jewish communities, most scholars have not looked at the economic interactions that accompanied settlement and development from the perspective of the Christian institutions 1 On the cult of St. Kilian, see Kilian: Mönch aus Irland – aller Franken Patron 689–1989: Katalog der Sonderausstellung zur 1300-Jahr-Feier des Kiliansmartyriums, 1989, and JOACHIM DIENEMANN, Der Kult des heiligen Kilian im 8. und 9.

    A BRIEF HISTORY OF BAVARIA BY GERTRUDE NORMAN rma 1 MUNICH 1906 HEINRICH JAFFE Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2007 with funding from Microsoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/briefhistoryofbaOOnormiala A BRIEF HISTORY OF BAVARIA BY GERTRUDE NORMAN <2© MUNICH 1906 HEINRICH JAFFE NOTE. The authoress begs to acknowledge her gratitude and indebtedness for the invaluable help afforded her by the following authors and their works Dr. William Preger, Dr. Winter, the Rev. S. Baring Gould, Mr. Cecil Headlam and Miss Frances Gerard. VT $01 DEDICATED BY KIND PERMISSION TO H. R. H. PRINCE GEORGE OF BAVARIA. „A humble token of esteem and admiration to the beautiful, ardent, progressive and artistic Kingdom of Bavaria from a sojourner in her midst." FOREWORD FOREWORD. There have been innumerable scholarly and scientific histories written on Bavaria, in German, and several excellent works on various phases of her remarkable history, and of the vivid per- sonalities which so invade her past, in English. The guide books which are to be found in all her more important towns and cities are very adequate, although of necessity much has to be left untold, owing to their size, and concentrated as they chiefly are on the one place in question. For instance Mr. Headlam's "Nuremberg", a truly significant and exquisite little work, and Miss Frances Gerard's "Romance of Ludwig II." (al- though the latter does contain several interesting details of the unfortunate Monarch's Kingdom, apart from Munich and the curious castles which he built). There are various other works, too, dealing with the stories of Bayreuth, Oberammer- gau, Munich &c.
