La Academia Auriense-Mindoniense de San Rosendo ha nacido con buen pie. En primer lugar porque no dudamos que el propio santo haga prósperos nuestros deseos de continuar de algún modo sus metas de paz y de evangelio. En segundo lugar porque es el proyec- to de dos iglesias particulares, seculares y sabias que como el pruden- te padre de familia saben sacar del arca de su experiencia lo viejo y lo nuevo para hacerlo vida, siendo sus pastores los patronos que avalan el mejor futuro. En tercer lugar porque la ilusionada aceptación de los primeros señores Académicos de número, eminentes personalidades de la intelectualidad gallega, con mentalidad abierta y generosa, ava- lan un camino de muchas primaveras. Así, estos primeros pasos son ya provechosos que bueno es expe- rimentar que San Rosendo no está muerto y que el año jubilar fue miscelánea de arte e cultura rudesindus mucho más que una colorista exhibición de artificio tan llamativa como efímera, y hermoso es que los hermanos vivan unidos y creo que la fraternidad entre las iglesias auriense y mindoniense-ferrolana es un don y un ejemplo de cómo es enriquecedor conocerse y quererse. Y porque poder ofrecer a la sociedad un poco de brisa suave y serena en forma de convivencia, reflexión, estudio y plegaria ya justifica el proyecto. Y con la Academia, como precursora feliz, la revista RUDESINDUS, ha abierto ya la senda de la comunicación, y ha iniciado el camino de la letra que la impresión redime del olvido o la indiferencia. Una revis- ta que será el vocero de la ACADEMIA, pero que tiene como destina- tarios a todos cuantos en Ourense, Mondoñedo, Galicia, Portugal y el Mundo entero sientan que San Rosendo es un amigo del alma y Cela- nova y Mondoñedo territorios donde uno puede acampar y ser feliz. No, no será una publicación betseller que casi siempre es puro mar- keting y luego nada, sino algo sencillo y entrañable, pero serio, que nos acompañará como un recuerdo y nos informará como un amigo discreto y abrirá sus páginas para que los académicos nos regalen generosos sus saberes y por ellos seamos más sabios y más libres. 9 Miguel Ángel González García No escribo con tanto optimismo por el imperativo de quien debe vender un producto y aunque sea sospechoso debe reconocerle virtu- des, sino desde la gratitud y la confianza de quien tiene el honor de presentar el segundo número de una revista llena de dignidad y acier- to, y de asistir desde la cercanía al nacimiento de una institución aca- démica que estoy cierto será motivo de alegría para la Iglesia y para el Mundo. Miguel Angel González García Delegado episcopal de Ourense para la Academia de San Rosendo. 10 Celanova, Centro Rosendiano no Ano Xubilar O 24 de novembro de 2006 inaugurábase solemnemente o Ano Xubilar de San Rosendo, con motivo de cumprirse mil cen anos do seu nacemento. Acontecía o 26 de novembro do 907. O Papa Benedicto XVI concedeulle as dioceses de Mondoñedo-Ferrol e Ourense esta graza. O Vice-chanceler, D. Manuel Emilio Rodríguez Álvarez, lía, ao remate da Misa, a acta na que, o Sumo Pontífice lle comunica tal decisión. Celanova comezaba a vivir un ano de especial transcendencia, importancia e dedicación. Por primeira vez na súa historia, chea de acontecementos relixiosos e culturais, ía ser protagonista da celebra- ción dun Ano Xubilar, ó cumprirse MC anos de seu nacemento. Con tal motivo, Celanova converteuse nun centro de peregrinación, encontro de pobos, parroquias, arciprestados, centros educativos, grupos de matrimonios, misioneiros, familias, sacerdotes, catequistas, monxes, relixiosos e relixiosas, seminaristas, terceira idade, reitores de Santuarios, motei- ros..., procedentes ben de Ourense, ou miscelánea de arte e cultura rudesindus de Galicia, ou de toda España e norte de Portugal. Un ano, para vivir unha experiencia xubilar, que nos enriqueceu aos que tivemos a sorte de deixarnos sorpren- der por todos e cada un dos que chagaban ansiosos de bicar as reliquias de san Rosendo e gañar as grazas xubilares. O Abade e Fundador seguía sendo un faro que expande os seus raios non só no tebroso século X, senón que alumea tamén a nosa historia actual. Polo templo de Cela- nova, axeonllándose diante dos seus restos mortais, pasaron nada menos que 200.000 peregrinos. Pódese afirmar, evocando as palabras do poeta celanovense, Celso E. Ferreiro que, durante este ano, “o mundo se chamou Celanova”. ¿Cómo espertou tanto interese a persoa e a vida de San Rosendo? 11 Benito Gómez I. Coñecer a vida e obra de San Rosendo A Parroquia de Celanova Un dos factores determinantes deste clamor e devoción mostrado por San Rosendo, desenrolouno a parroquia cos seus Sacerdotes. Coa morte de D. Manuel Iglesias Grande continúa a tarefa promo- vida por él. Os sacerdotes da parroquia cultivaron e potenciaron o amor ao Santo. Para corroboralo, aí está a entrega do premio “Irmáns Iglesias” que se fai tódolos anos o dia de San Rosendo. Aí está a res- tauración do retablo do Santo, obra de Frei Primitivo. O gastos desta obra sufragounos unha familia moi devota do Fundador e Abade. Nesta relación hai que lembrar a restauración dos óleos da familia rosendiana, do pintor Gregorio Ferro. A aportación económica nece- saria fixérona diversas familias da parroquia. Neste proxecto de coñecer a san Rosendo hai que incluír a exposi- ción “O tesouro de San Rosendo” que se tivo na sacristía do Mostei- ro, fai uns cinco anos. Era a primeira vez que estes obxectos de culto, propiedade do mosteiro, volvían a él, xa que se atopan no museo da Catedral de Ourense. Sen lugar a dúbida, a parroquia ten un gran protagonismo na devo- ción a San Rosendo. O ano xubilar non a colleu por sorpresa. Comisión Diocesana e Comisión Parroquial Así pois, a celebración do Ano Xubilar de San Rosendo era unha preocupación, que se fixo mais presente nas diversas reunións, que tanto a Diocese como os responsables da parroquia de Celanova, viñan sostendo dende facía xa un anaco de tempo. O Bispo da Diocese, D. Luís Quinteiro Fiúza implicouse fondamen- te en levar a cabo este Ano Xubilar. Quería que Celanova tivese a maior significación eclesial e social, no devandito Ano e que servira de estímulo para a evanxelización e renovación cristiá. Este ano Celano- va sería o centro de moitas actividades que, normalmente se celebra- ban na cidade de Ourense. Él mesmo asistiu,

  • Parador of the Month – Parador De Cangas De Onis
    PARADOR OF THE MONTH – PARADOR DE CANGAS DE ONIS Some say that they were Celts or Normans, others speak of Jewish descendancy from Roman slaves. Whatever the truth, the Asturian people jealously guard their very ancient ways and customs. The Roman conquest was particularly intense when the people of Asturias and Cantabria joined together to fight against Rome. The Kingdom of Asturias was created after the rebellion of people from these regions, represented by King Pelayo who defeated the Moslems in the battle of Covadonga (in the year 722) when the Reconquest began. The village of Cangas de Onís was the first capital of the Kingdom. Why the Parador de Cangas de Onís? - A jewel set on the green banks of the River Sella, which is reflected in the waters below. Tradition maintains that the building was started by King Alfonso I, ‘The Catholic’, on 21 st February 746 and excavations carried out before conversion work started on the building confirms this idea. The monastery was run by the Order of San Benito until the sale of Church lands in 1835. Two rooms displaying the archaeological discoveries found during refurbishment work, especially ceramics, bear witness to its distant past. The splendid structure of the present-day Parador was built in the setting of the 12th century, in the heart of the Romanesque period, a time of pilgrimages. However, with the passing of time, significant changes have been made. The monastery inevitably suffered the rage of Mendizábal, the seizure of church lands in the mid-19th century known as the Desamortización .

  • La Peregrinación Jacobea En La Literatura Árabe Medieval
    LA PEREGRINACIÓN JACOBEA EN LA LITERATURA ÁRABE MEDIEVAL Ana María Carballeira Debasa Escuela de Estudios Árabes CSIC, Granada Con el fin de trazar una visión de conjunto sobre la peregrinación a la tumba del apóstol Santiago a partir de los datos contenidos en la literatura árabe medieval, en estas páginas procederé a revisar una serie de fuentes textuales de tipo narrativo, entresacando los pasajes donde se hace referencia tanto a las rutas jacobeas como al santuario compostelano. Para conocer la imagen que los musulmanes del medievo se habían forjado del tema en cuestión es preciso abordar la información contenida en los escritos árabes respetando el punto de vista subjetivo de sus autores. Se trata de una docena de obras que fueron redactadas en lengua árabe por autores del Occidente y del Oriente islámico. En particular, la consulta de textos geográficos e históricos es especialmente relevante para analizar el tema objeto de este trabajo, ya que son los que proporcionan un caudal informativo más prolijo a este respecto. Era habitual que los autores incluyeran en sus obras información fruto de sus lecturas, así como noticias que les habían sido transmitidas oralmente. El hecho de copiar obras anteriores justifica la existencia de reiteraciones informativas. Además, la ausencia de una labor crítica explica que a veces del mismo hecho se ofrezcan versiones contradictorias. En el caso que aquí nos ocupa, estos autores no extrajeron datos de su propia experiencia, ya que ninguno de ellos había conocido personalmente territorio cristiano. No se debe soslayar que este tipo de material presenta limitaciones. Por una parte, las noticias relativas al tema en cuestión se hallan fragmentadas y dispersas dentro del corpus documental objeto de estudio.

C. la administración romana de aquel territorio se realiza desde tres poblaciones que ostentan el calificativo de augustas: Bracara Augusta (Braga), Lucus Augusti (Lugo) y Asturica Augusta (Astorga), llamadas a presidir durante toda la época romana sus respectivos conventos jurídicos. Cien años más tarde surge otra importante serie de núcleos urbanos, no necesariamente municipios, vinculados a la dinastía de los Flavios y que en prenda de este patrocinio ostentan el gentilicio de la familia imperial: Aquae Flaviae (Chaves), Flavium Brigantium y Flavia Lambris (por la parte de Coruña y Betanzos), Bergidum Fla- vium (Villafranca del Bierzo) e Interamnium Flavium, en la misma zona que el anterior. Finalmente, Iria Flavia, en las inmediaciones de la actual villa de Padrón. No sabemos si por haber figurado un contingente ligur entre los aquí establecidos, o porque ya de antiguo existiese entre los naturales de la zona —los Copori de Ptolomeo (III, 6, 23)— algunos componentes de origen ligur, el caso fue que la población se llamó Iria de primer nombre, como su homónima de la Liguria alpina.

    English Pilgrimage as a universal phenomenon Pilgrimage is an anthropological phenomenon that has been present in all civilizations over the course of history due to its geographical and chronological dispersion and its importance and repercussions for culture and society. CHRISTIAN PILGRIMAGE The places related with the life of Jesus, his disciples and the first martyrs soon became centres of worship and a destination for pilgrims, as Christianity took on the Jewish tradition of pilgrimage as part of its own faith.

  • Spain Revisited : a Summer Holiday in Galicia
    s A WINTER HOLIDAY IN PORTUGAL By CAPTAIN GRANVILLE BAKER Author of " The Walls of Constantinople," etc. IVH/i Coloured Frontispiece and 32 original drawings by the A uthor. Demy %vo, cloth gilt Captain Granville Baker, who has served in several campaigns in the British as well as the German Army, is an experienced traveller. In this volume he describes with pen, pencil, and brush the scenic charm of Portugal, the old buildings, the manners and customs of the people, and gives a history of the rise and growth of the nation, bringing his survey up to the recent important changes in the government. The author sets forth, in fascinating pages, the claims of Portugal as a winter resort. Wealth of colouring and variety of form are the most delightful features of its landscapes. The river scenery of Portugal recalls the far-famed Rhine, its mountains have an Alpine grandeur, its harbours vie in richness of beauty with those of Naples and Constantinople, its valleys and moors sport with all the colours of the rainbow, its flora being the richest in all Europe. The towns and villages have an old-world picturesqueness ; the costume of the peasantry is uniquely charming. Captain Granville Baker's volume gives a very adequate impression of these manifold attractions.
