The fact is that this year the Latvian capital, Riga, celebrates 500 years of the placement of the first Christmas tree in the world. Latvian tradition has it that Martin Luther in person, while walking in a forest near Riga, was amazed by the moonlight reflected on the branches of a fir tree and plucked a small specimen of this tree to give to their children, hence was born, according to the Latvians, the idea of \u200b\u200bChristianizing the ancient pagan tradition Yule *, symbol of the sun in the northern European cultures, with which he invoked the daytime star in the winter solstice, the day of the year when the sun shines more briefly in the Northern Hemisphere.
hardly
the future reformer Martin Luther (who in 1510 was a Catholic priest and professor of theology at Wittenberg University) then the tree could give their children, if not married until 1525, after being declared a heretic by Pope Leo X 1518, or had children, it is known, before her marriage.
The truth is that in today's Latvia, as elsewhere in northern Europe, the tree, and particularly of pine, evergreen, pagan people had for a very special significance, and it was common that small candles were lit in their branches to evoke sunlight. Mistletoe was also used as a sacred plant, and conducive to the fertility couples kissing beneath the branches of this shrub. In addition, they were placed under the holly berries fir, considered a nice food for the gods of nature.
Well, it is said that in December 1510 members of the guild of unmarried merchants of Riga (in 1687 renamed the Brotherhood of Blackheads) went to a forest near the city, cut a large fir was planted in the middle of the square where they had their headquarters, decorated with paper flowers and then burnt amid great fanfare that flowed abundantly in beer and other alcoholic beverages. This fact is documented by one of the leading specialists Christmas songs world, Countess Maria Hubert von Staufer (Leeds, England, 1945 - Palma de Mallorca, 2007), as acknowledged in January 2002 the organization Christmas Archives International, based in London, and corroborated, inter alia, the Canadian Christmas Tree Growers.
is no doubt that Luther had nothing to do with the emergence of this idea, but the merchants were tainted by the old pagan tradition: a little over three centuries the Germans had started the Christianization of the peoples Eastern Baltic, and just two hundred years of Roman religion had rooted with some force in these lands, so that paganism was still very present in people's minds.

Catholic tradition, for its part, often attributed to fir Christmas Winfrid English monk (born circa 675), which was sent in 716 to Christianize the pagan lands of Germany, where he died at the hands of "barbarians" (the chronicles they identify with a party of bandits and thieves who assaulted the "smart" Christian missionaries, well endowed financially by the Papacy), along with other fifty companions of mission, the day of Pentecost in the year 754, making him a martyr of the Roman Church, which elevated him to the altar as St. Boniface.
The legend says that the pagans of Scandinavia and northern Germany the current revered the Yggdrasil (World Tree), a sacred ash whose tip reached to heaven (where was the strength of Valhalla, which housed the warriors killed in combat, and Asgard, the palace of the god Odin), whose roots went into the dark realm of the dead, Helheim, also identified with hell. Winfrid seems that it occurred one day be done with a hatchet and cut a Yggdrasil to plant, instead, a pine, evergreen, which he adorned with apples, symbol of original sin and the temptations-and candle-representation light of the world, emanating from Jesus Christ. The apples were replaced later by balls and candles, colored lights. What of the gifts under the tree came later.
The German tradition says the first Christmas tree was placed in 1605 somewhere in the Germanic lands (as the French, was a Vosges fir raised in today's Kebler in Strasbourg, Alsace), and the usual soon spread to Scandinavia and, as in the nineteenth century, England and numerous other countries.

In Spain introduced it, it seems, the Russian princess Sofia Sergyevna Troubetzkoy (1838-1898), which, after the death of her first husband, a brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, married Isidro José (Pepe) and Osorio Silva-Bazán, Duke Sesto and Alcañices Albuquerque and Marquis, who played an important role in the Bourbon Restoration. It is said that in his palace Paseo del Prado in Madrid, situated where now stands the building of the Bank of Spain, wore in 1870, for the first time in Spain, the Christmas tree.
Today, as we know, Christmas trees are grown on plantations, are usually sold to predatory pricing in markets, flower shops and malls, and for savers come in plastic, removable. The tradition, like so many other things, has been commercialized, and the Christmas tree has become, how no, one more of consumer goods in December.

The name with you know The Rock (the Kalpa of the ancient Greeks), the British colony of southern Iberia, comes from the name given by the Arabs to the rock where it sits: Jabal Tariq (جبل طارق), "the mountain of Tariq", in honor of Tariq ibn Ziyad al-Layti (طارق بن زياد), the Berber chieftain who landed there with his troops in 711 and, according to tradition, led the conquest of Hispania Visigoths.
The history of this strategic peninsula 6.5 km ², situated east of the Algeciras Bay is well known, became part of Taifa de Granada, it was taken by, in 1309 the English troops, conquered by the benimerines at 1333, courtesy of the Nazari kingdom they de Granada twenty-four years later and finally conquered for the English Crown by the Duke of Medina Sidonia in 1562, although until 1501 it was officially incorporated into the Kingdom of Castile.
The Anglo-Dutch site that suffered the rock from 1 to 4 August 1704, during the War of English Succession, the Bourbon troops forced Philip V to capitulate to the Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt, who took possession of Gibraltar on behalf of the Archduke Charles of Austria, the pretender to the English crown.

After a failed site by English-French troops, under the treaty of Utrecht, which ended the war of succession in 1713 Gibraltar became a British possession, and remains a colony, although English frequent attempts to regain the territory.
When the passer visited Gibraltar, the first thing that surprised him, since the bus took a walk after passing the English-Gibraltar, was seeing how the short road leading to the city center has to cross the runway , which is closed by a barrier similar to that of the railway level crossing when a plane takes off or lands.
Upon reaching the city, then observed the curious contradictions that exist in that place, where Llanitos (name that are known Gibraltarians) retain a Castilian heterodox, with a strong Andalusian accent, while the official language is English colony, the language they are written almost all the labels (although in some cases appears bilingualism).

is also inconsistent use of the coin, officially uses the British pound (that has even a local version issued by the Government of Gibraltar : the Gibraltar pound ), but the euro circulates alongside and often the prices are marked in both currencies. However, the European currency is not allowed in certain places, such as the post office.
The passerby was able to observe further that the small town of Gibraltar, divided into seven residential areas and populated by little more than 27,000 people, is a multicultural and multi-very interesting in that the population mix local (Andalusian or Andalusian roots), a minority of British (mostly devoted to administrative tasks, commercial and government) and a relatively nourished Muslim communities (about 7% of the population) and Jewish (present in the rock since six hundred and fifty years, which, though currently only accounts for 2% of the population, has always been influential: it is estimated that in the local language, the Llanito , using a hundred words of Hebrew origin).

The major religions, however, are the Anglican and Catholic churches, each of which has its cathedral and its temples. There are also temples of other Protestant communities, Hindus, Baha'is, etc.

The Llanito Castilian dialect is a curious, very close to the Andalusian yet distinctive and eclectic. Expressions include not only Hebrew, but mostly Maltese and English words (many Maltese families settled in Gibraltar), Arabs, Berbers, Portuguese, Genoese and many languages \u200b\u200bof India, from where many traders.
Transient recalls, for example, that when he tried to go to Punta Europa, the bus driver told him (the transcription is phonetically approximate): "Vamo 'to see' if Podem yega that ehtd very windy time " in fact, the day was windy and it prevented the transient rise to the top of The Rock, Signal Hill (of 387 meters, where the famous Gibraltar monkeys), as the cable car on the access was not working that day because, precisely, the force of the wind, and taxi drivers-they-called hedge too much money to get you there.

Punta Europa ( Great Europa Point, according to official British place names) is the southernmost tip of the peninsula of Gibraltar, facing north Africa, which is visible in the distance. This is a small rocky outcrop and plain, which include the lighthouse, the Mosque of Ibrahim al-Ibrahim (funded by King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and opened on August 8, 1997) and the small Catholic shrine of Our Lady Europe.
The friendly bus driver who drove up there to the passer (the force of wind was so strong and the waves therefore, no longer invaded the esplanade as a few hours before), told him where I expect when the public service vehicle make the next trip. In return, we collected school, impeccably dressed in the uniforms of their respective schools. The local police also wear a uniform similar to that of London bobbies, with corresponding characteristic helmet (helmet). And, despite everything, in Gibraltar traditions clearly respond to the customs of the old British Empire, in many respects, the rock is a piece of the conservative United Kingdom transplanted to southern Europe.
