Ukuhlonela uYohane umBhaptizi
Ukuqonda ukuhlonipha iPuerto Ricans kunalooSanta John uMbhaptizi ( iSan Juan Bautista ngesiSpanish), akufuneki ukhangele ngaphandle kwegama lendlunkulu yesiqithi: isixeko saseSan Juan. Enyanisweni, uSan Juan Bautista wayebizwa ngokuba nguChristopher Columbus kwisiqithi sasePuerto Rico xa efika ngo-1493 (isixeko saseSan Juan sasibizwa "iPorto Rico," okanye iPort Port).
Ngokuqinisekileyo, amagama ashintshiwe kwaye i-capital-capital iye yaqala ngokuba negama likaPuerto Rico oyintanda.
Namhlanje, uYohane oNgcwele uMbhaptizi uhlala ephakathi kweso siqithi kunye nesithethe. Elinye lamabandla amadala kunye nawona angcwele kakhulu, iCatedral de San Juan , inalo igama. Kwaye iFiesta yaseSan Juan Bautista , eyaziwa nje ngokuba i- Fiestas de San Juan ingenye yeziganeko ezibalulekileyo zonyaka.
Malunga noMthendeleko
UMthendeleko waseSan Juan Bautista uqhubeka rhoqo ngonyaka ngoJuni 24 (iMidummers Day, okanye i-summer solstice) kwaye ibhalwe ngamasiko ambalwa kunye nezithethe. Yiyona nto ibalulekileyo yamakhulu ama- fiestas patronales , okanye imikhosi engcwele yintando, ukuba imizi kunye needolophu kulo lonke elasePuerto Rico zibamba unyaka ngamnye ukuhlonela ungcolisi ongcolisayo.
Ndandisoloko ndimangalise ukukwazi ukugcina i-khalenda ehlazileyo yeziganeko, kunye nomntu othile ebhiyozela into ethile phantse yonke imihla (kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo onke amaviki).
Ukususela ekutya ukuya kubantu abangcwele kwizehlakalo zembali, esi siqithi sithanda ukuphosa iqela ngokuhlonipha into eyenza ibe yingxenye yolu suku lwePuerto Rico namhlanje. Kwaye imikhosi yongcwele idlala indima ebalulekileyo apha. Yonke idolophu yasePuerto Rico inomnye, ngokuqhelekileyo ukwabelana ngomoya onye.
Le khalenda ikubonisa uluhlu olupheleleyo lwabhiyozelayo kwaye nini. Njengoko uza kubona, uMoya oNgcwele uYohane uMbhaptizi ungumgcini wongcwele weedolophu ezimbalwa, kodwa akukho mntu ubhiyozelayo kunye nokukhawuleza ukuba inkunzi izisa.
Imithendeleko kuMthendeleko
Ngelixa umthendeleko, ngokuqinisekileyo, usekelwe kwizithethe zamaKatolika zesiqithi, kukho izinto ezimbalwa zezinto ezilandeleleneyo ezizihlukanisayo. Esi siganeko esaziwayo ngokwenene senzeke ngobusuku obungaphambi kwamanxweme ajikeleze isiqithi. Njengobusuku bobusuku buya ku-23rd, uya kufumana abahlali babuthana elunxwemeni. Xa kuphazamisa phakathi kwamabili, ubume bakholelwa ukuba ubuyele emanzini ngamaxesha angama-12 enenhlanhla. Le ngandlela-thile i-harbinger yenhlanhla yonyaka wonke, kwaye iphinda isebenze njengengqungquthela engafanelekanga yomthendeleko.
Njengoko kuninzi imikhosi engcwele yontando, uMthendeleko waseSan Juan Bautista uqala ecaweni kwaye uhamba ezindleleni. Umdala oseSan Juan uba ngumcimbi wezitalato ovulekileyo kunye nezihlwele ezenza idolophu edala, izidlova, zihlala kumculo we- bomba y plena , ukudansa kunye nabantu kwiimpahla zendabuko embala ngokubonisa ngokupheleleyo. I-Vejigantes isoloko iyingxenye yesikhokelo, ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwizandla zokufaka umphumo omncinci kumboniso.
Kwaye ukulungiswa kukaKumkani noKumkanikazi wesiganeko kwenzeka rhoqo ngonyaka.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, akukho mboniso, iqela okanye ukubhiyozela ePuerto Rico kuphelile ngaphandle kokutya, kwaye uza kufumana izitya zokutya kunye neendawo ezikhethiweyo zendawo ezikhoyo.
