    Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter.

  • Los Grandes Maestres Españoles De La Orden De Malta
    LOS GRANDES MAESTRES ESPAÑOLES DE LA ORDEN DE MALTA Óscar de Ascoz y Planes Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia I.- UNA ORDEN MEDIEVAL. DE JERUSALÉN A MALTA. LA FIGURA DEL GRAN MAESTRE. El 15 de febrero del año 1113, el Papa Pascual II promulgó la bu- la Piae Postulatio voluntatis. Con este acto se reconocía la existencia canónica de la orden del Hospital de San Juan de Jerusalén, comen- zando así una historia casi milenaria que llega hasta nuestros días. No eran aquellos tiempos unos momentos fáciles para la cris- tiandad: el siglo XI constituye un periodo clave en la evolución de lo que hoy se conoce como occidente europeo. El debilitamiento del principio romanista de autoridad provocó la anarquía, y contra la amenaza del orden social y de la estabilidad política se levantó la Iglesia: a través de una profunda reforma de sus estructuras internas procuró ocupar los vacíos de poder creados por el debilitamiento de la autoridad pública y, desde ellos, contribuyó a vertebrar de nuevo la sociedad. En este con- texto, el de una sociedad feudal que comenzaba por influencia de la Iglesia a cristianizar sus lazos de dependencia y a sacralizar el princi- pio de jerarquía, es en el que nacen, a principios del siglo XII, las más primitivas órdenes militares, entre ellas la orden de San Juan1. Los orígenes de la orden son conocidos y se deben a la trasmisión realizada por el arzobispo Guillermo de Tiro. Este prelado comienza narrando gráficamente cómo la zona de Tierra Santa, junto con Siria y Egipto, se hallaba en poder de los infieles y hasta allí acudía en pere- grinación un grupo de comerciantes italianos de Amalfi, ciudad vecina 1 Carlos de AYALA MARTÍNEZ, Las órdenes militares hispánicas en la Edad Me- dia (siglos XII-XV), Madrid, 2003, pp.

I remember as we arrived in the summer months we used to the beach with the children or a barbeque in a park in the open spaces of this city, which was now our home. During the week my wife and I were engaged in working to help bringing up our children in this new lifestyle. It almost felt like we were on a working holiday. But as it happened, soon enough June, July and August arrived, and the weather was becoming cooler. It was then that I started realising that we are no longer in Malta where we used to enjoy the beaches during these months. But the most thing that struck me like a thunderbolt was the loss of the Festi in Malta which were an outlet for us then, allowing us to enjoy these festivities with our family at this time. Suddenly I started to feel the environment I was not accustomed it. I remember it was the fifteenth of August, a normal weekday here in Australia when of course I had to go to work.
