San Antonio, local party in Ceuta to be our pattern. Very important day in which many people participate in a pilgrimage that leads to the shrine. Enjoy a mass, the distribution of food today because of the much-discussed crisis will be snacks and refreshments, leaving the memory of the tasty paella in previous years.
all speak of the Holy, we commend their lives, especially here you have a particular faith, but does not hear much talk about something that is attributed to San Antonio in Ceuta, and is the belief that if a woman "passes the ass for the stone" is home safely. I guess now with the times, and no one else will or almost nobody, but was once deeply rooted in the mainland who were also involved.
is a very old tradition. My grandmother commented, also my mother and I saw it. It is true that long ago that I absolved of all to be referred to matters relating to the Church in general, so I do not know if it remains part of tradition or Ceuta has become history. The act in question was that in the chapel, before the image and under a large rug, there is or there were some tiles that I remember harping cross, and stood out against the other, and as every woman had to spend the by her married ass.
all know that until relatively recently, women were educated to be a wife and mother first and foremost, therefore, to doubt that because of physical, character, or anything else, a girl could not achieve that goal, there was "stone" was a foolproof method, and you know, a little extra never hurts ...
I, like many other girls, I tried the experience, I never understood why it was not old enough to be desperate to get married (I think I was 13 years), and then my mind was that, but I think the curiosity of the age demanded. I remember it was a normal day of summer, we decided to go up around San Antonio three friends and me. We were playing and running around the feet of Franco, which we used to laugh about the same size (as I pointed out ways in that time), and between games, we decided to enter the shrine. Seeing that there was no one, lift the carpet laughing and four friends made the famous ritual of the "scrub." Our surprise was that we were so attentive and Embu in the event that we did not realize that arrived two middle-aged ladies, and began to scold ourselves. One of them told us: "You have to see the girls as girls and rubbing his ass on the stone, that would make the greatest need, you and you will have time."
There will never forgive you. Resonate throughout my life this woman's voice scolding, but not what he said, but because this good woman and could have gone for a while before, and have prevented the four girls who were then, we went in the statistics of Wedding accurate. Of course, the four were married, some earlier, others later. The result callus me ... why not never forgive the delay in reaching the shrine.
I do not know whether it will continue the tradition, anecdote is fine, but I advise women not to do in case ... should not tempt fate ...
