..... Cesar Orozco ... Source: http://www.latiradeoroz.es/ The "San Fermin ladder is one of the rituals associated with the festival of San Fermin, not shown in the official program of festivities. In fact, not even during the specifics held nine days of July in the city of Pamplona that honors the " Santos Moreno," but it is clear that this is a ritual typical of sanfermines or at least that part of what could be called Sanfermin culture.
The San Fermin festivities are held, at least since 1591, day seven the seventh month of the year. This inspired the creation of a bill for a song that has grown to become the most universal of these holidays:
" First of January, February 2nd, March 3, April 4, May 5 , June 6, July 7: San Fermin . "
temporal sequence that lists the lyrics of that song is called "San Fermin step" and each of the dates that compose their " steps."
Well, do not know your age, but deep-rooted custom among San Fermin recalcitrant celebrate step in meeting the specific dates of each of its steps to organize dinners and parties with which to celebrate the passage of time remaining before the arrival of a new "San Fermin."
must imagine that the idea should arise spontaneously among a small group of unrepentant San Fermin they found in the lyrics of the song the perfect excuse to organize a whole series of meetings presanfemineras , which evoke holidays past and comment on news that it had on the future. And, as good revelers, met on one condition: the rungs of the ladder had to respect them, and celebrate in each of the specific dates indicated. Fall on the day of the week they fall.
So if it does not seem to be a great "sacrifice" have to meet friends on a Thursday night or Wednesday, for example, already sounds a little harder to be on a Monday. And meet a "January 1" in the evening to throw a party after the New Year? How about a "January 1" or a "March 3" also falls on a Monday?
I thank Cesar Orozco, artist and cartoonist Pamplona, \u200b\u200bgiving me authorization for leading this entry, post grouped the three strips that he was devoting to steps at different times of steps 1992. Oroz succeeded brilliantly reflected in these three strips the spirit of the staircase . And, above thread, I place special emphasis on the former. Simply GREAT!
The idea to hold the ladder Sanfermin was gaining popularity, especially since the late seventies of the late twentieth century, and already quite a few club members and staunch San Fermin they do, to the point custom that it was a few decades become an authentic ritual. San Fermin worship ritual would have to say.
And, as often happens with many events that relate to the festival of San Fermin: if at first it was kind of madness of a few " caste" and then was gaining ground and some popularity in both recent years is reaching a level that is already programmed acts Sanfermin steps that have some institutional component, as is the celebration of a religious and public events and media resonance.
which I will not be reneging on those events next generation, but I would like not to lose the spontaneous nature of the primordial act of this ritual: the gathering of friends and companions sanfermines crazy about. "
The publication of this entry today is no accident. April 4 is the fourth rung of the ladder, and San Fermin crews will meet tonight to celebrate. In honor of San Fermin and the shout of "Ya falta menos!
