J'interromps momentanément ma série marseillaise de fin d'année 2023-14...pour ces quelques photos de l'épisode de neige sur Douai, il y a 3 jours (le 17 / 01 donc).

On peut ici reconnaître le beffroi, froid.

The Douai Martyrs is a name applied by the Catholic Church to 158 Catholic priests trained in the English College at Douai, France, who were executed by the English state between 1577 and 1680.[2]

History

Having completed their training at Douai, many returned to England and Wales with the intent to minister to the Catholic population. Under the Jesuits, etc. Act 1584 the presence of a priest within the realm was considered high treason. Missionaries from Douai were looked upon as a papal agents intent on overthrowing the queen. Many were arrested under charges of treason and conspiracy, resulting in torture and execution. In total, 158 members of Douai College were martyred between the years 1577 and 1680.[1] The first was Cuthbert Mayne, executed at Launceston, Cornwall on the 29 November 1577. [3] The last was Thomas Thwing, hanged, drawn, and quartered at York in October 1680.[4] Each time the news of another execution reached the College, a Solemn Mass of thanksgiving was sung.

Many people risked their lives during this period by assisting them, which was also prohibited under the Act. A number of the "seminary priests" from Douai were executed at a three-sided gallows at Tyburn near the present-day Marble Arch. A plaque to the "Catholic martyrs" executed at Tyburn in the period 1535 - 1681 is located at 8 Hyde Park Place, the site of Tyburn convent.[5]

They were beatified between 1886, 1929 and 1987, and only 20 were canonized in 1970. Today, British Catholic dioceses celebrate their feast day on 29 October.[1]

Douai, photos de nuit dans ma rue.

Je suis assez fier d'avoir pu enfin photographier à peu près passablement la superbe constellation d'Orion, au dessus des cheminées fumantes... Betelgeuse, Rigel, Bellatrix et les trois Alnilam, Alnitak et Mintaka...

Puis - j'ai fait ce que j'ai pu - Jupiter et 4 de ses plus gros satellites (lesquels précisément ? Je fais appel aux astronomes pour m'éclairer !)...

Ensuite, la Lune....

Et enfin, ma rue....pour revenir à Orion.

SPRING IN BERKSHIRE

SPRING DOUAI

Blog by Susie Bedford

(Pen name, writing poetry and novels is Lynne Pearl)

Website https:lynnepearl.com

April 23

It is Spring in Berkshire and we’re high up above the main Bath road on a ridge that overlooks the railway and everything else.  Up here they breed race horses that go to Newbury and race for the world.  My Dad loved the horses and so I did too, it was the kind of enthusiasm that was catching.  I never rode but I loved the horses, the race and everything to do with it. Today I see that there is Point to Point announced for April 26 Sunday across fields high above the sea.  We used to go too, but the first love is the race with the jockeys’ colours the wonderful names of the horses and the specialty of the breeder.  There was a book on the form and the wonderful horses for the year.  It was all completely infectious.  We would go and sit outside the racing area with a picnic and the sound of the horses racing was in background, and the crowds cheering.

But today it was quieter, it was Spring coming so slowly to Berkshire and the country after a cold long time.  So when you see a spangle of hawthorn blossom on a dark hedge you are excited because that means hope, hope springing up again, that this cold can change, in fact everything can change, so let’s keep going, you never know what might be around the corner.  In fact, the Hawthorne is the first.  I remember the image from Cicely Barker’s flower fairies of the trees, the image for Spring, Hawthorne announcing it.

This is a Spring walk in Berks and even in the woods there are no bluebells yet.  I know exactly where the bluebells should come in the woods, I have seen them year after year.  They aren’t there yet, just this misty hawthorne blossom.  There are bridle ways here, daffodils beside them and that’s testament to how many horses are up here on the ridge.  They don’t have footpaths, they have bridle paths, so you do listen out for the jingle of the bridle and that sound like no other, of hooves on a muddy path, a thud that comes out of the past, our past from before we thought of cars.  But the horses are still here so there are paths  for them.

The trees here look bigger than anywhere else. Is the weather kinder, better, is the soil richer, or is it that there is a different species up here.  The branches reach to the sky and obscure the skyline with their blooming upwards.

The rhododendron is beginning here too. They’re splendid on Exmoor, a statement of glory, waiting and never, not ever giving up because the best is yet to come. Here’s a hidden bush beside an old school that is long quiet, it had been a hospital long ago up here where the air is good.  

I find violets, tiny under the pine tree that houses the rooks by the main drive.  They are just tiny dots, and then a find a cultivated rhododendron bus like handkerchiefs, unlike anything else in nature.  There are trees here whose blossoms spray upwards like the sea foam, and there are fruiting trees that need the bees to come.

There is also an Old Man Willow here that is just beginning, as if he heard the notes of Spring and decided to put a push on but then hesitated and is now waiting for a better moment.  So the leaves are very gently there, of the palest green. Underneath is the perfect bench for looking at the tiny fronds that are the beginning, just like us.
