La barca di San Pietro image found on web |
Inoltre, gli abitanti della zona, in questo giorno, sconsigliano di fare il bagno perchè si dice che la madre di San Pietro pretenda un sacrificio umano in questa ricorrenza.....gli scettici ci sono sempre, e ogni anno ridono di questa leggenda ma, dico io, perchè andare proprio a cercarsela....sbaglio? Io da credente o credulona, chiamatemi come vi pare, vi sconsiglio di fare il bagno...
Comunque, come sempre, mi immolerò per la causa, e provvederò a documentare tutta la procedura con risultato finale...e vedremo come andrà...
Saturday, June 29 is the day of St. Peter and Paul ... so? You'll say ... Here in Franciacorta, especially in towns overlooking the lake, is deeply rooted the tradition of "St. Peter's Boat" (Paul is not mentioned, do not ask me why, no one has been able to give me an answer). In fact, on the night between 28 and 29 June of each year, it is traditional to do the boat, filling a bottle of water to which is added an egg white; This, then, is put in an isolated place and to dark (possibly in the garden ). The next morning you look at the result and according to the number and type of sails you can imagine it will be a good year or less for fishing or for harvest.
Moreover, the inhabitants of the area, on this day, not reccomended to swim because they said that the mother of St. Peter want an human sacrifice on this occasion ..... there are always skeptics, and every year they laugh of this legend but, I say, why go right to find it themselves .... am I wrong? When I was a believer or gullible, call me what you want, I do not recommend to swim ...
However, as always, I immolate for the cause, and I will document the entire procedure with the final result ... and we'll see how it goes ...
