Fr Gene Barrette - Time to Say Goodbye

In 2010 my wife and I were privileged to work with Fr Gene Barrette in producing this video video entitled “Time To Say Goodbye” which chronicles his life and to say thank you to the people of St Thomas the Apostle and St Ann’s Catholic churches in the Atlanta, GA area.

Fr Gene had a vision of what he wanted to do with this video, and
we simply helped him realize that vision through editing and effects generation. It was shown at his farewell send-off party at St Thomas in 2010, and I am not sure if he distributed it much further after that. We spent many long and late hours together in our home to produce it, and we would like to make it available to honor his life as a priest. It is about 33 minutes long.

Fr Gene was a great priest and changed the lives of many people. There is a hole in the universe that can never be filled now that he is gone. He will be greatly missed.

Concatedral de Santa María de la Redonda - La Rioja.wmv

Concatedral de Santa María de la Redonda

La Concatedral de Santa María de La Redonda es una iglesia situada en Logroño (La Rioja, España). Junto con la Catedral de Calahorra y la de Santo Domingo de La Calzada es sede de la diócesis eclesiástica de Calahorra y La Calzada-Logroño.

En el siglo X el Camino de Santiago cruza el río Ebro por un puente que da origen a una población que con el tiempo sería la ciudad de Logroño.

En el año 1095 el rey Alfonso VI de Castilla otorga a este lugar un fuero franco para el asentamiento de pobladores y peregrinos. Con el transcurso del tiempo logra un notable crecimiento y se construyen las iglesias de Santa María de Palacio, Santiago el Real, San Bartolomé y Santa María de La Redonda, ésta última en el arrabal y separada del itinerario del Camino de Santiago. Se le llamó La Redonda por ser una iglesia románica, seguramente octogonal, similar a las existentes en el Camino Jacobeo de Navarra en Eunate y Torres del Río.

Por su desarrollo e importancia en el año 1431 es declarada ciudad y en 1435 se le dota de una Iglesia Colegiata, en ese momento asociada al cercano e importante Monasterio de Albelda, en cuyo scriptorium se crearon importantes códices en la Edad Media. Entre todos los templos existentes se eligió La Redonda y se vio la conveniencia de levantar un grandioso templo en el mismo lugar de emplazamiento del austero románico. La construcción se iniciaría años más tarde en 1516 y en sucesivas reformas y ampliaciones se alargaría durante tres siglos.

En 1959 la Colegiata de Santa María de La Redonda fue declarada concatedral con un rango inmediatamente inferior a las históricas catedrales de Calahorra (siglo V), y de Santo Domingo de La Calzada (siglo XI).

BASÍLICA DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA VEGA EN HARO-LA RIOJA. España

BASÍLICA DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA VEGA EN HARO-LA RIOJA. España
La Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Vega en Haro se halla en el paraje de la vea. Se cree que fue construida en el siglo X, tras llegar a la ciudad la imagen de la Virgen de la Vega. La Basílica es de estilo barroco. La última de las ampliaciones fue llevada a cabo en el siglo XVII según un proyecto de Bernardo de Munilla y Juan de Villanueva. Destaca el retablo barroco del altar Mayor construido en 1740 por Santiago del Amo. En el centro se halla una imagen de la Virgen María y su lado San Joaquín y Santa Ana, tallas de Manuel Lomero. La imagen de la Virgen de la Vega es de estilo gótico y data del siglo XIV. La talla mide 1:30 metros La talla tiene añadidas una granada (este añadido se debe a la intervención de Pedro Fernández III de Velaso y sus seguidores jarreros en la toma de Granada en 1492) y unas espigas de trigo (se le atribuye un milagro a la Virgen de convertir la cebada en trigo para pagar las deudas de una familia necesitada).

La Jota de San Felices

En 1883 Toribio Manzanos y Alejandro la Calle elaboraron una sainete musical titulado ¡Eh, a Bilibio...! de esa obra fue extraida esta jota popular que con el tiempo fue considerada la Jota de Haro y orgullo ribereño del cantar de los jarreros.

Interpretada por la Banda Municipal de Haro con arreglos de Dionisio Diez Saez, es mostrada aquí con su letra y con las imágenes que identifican más a sus habitantes, su pasión por el vino, tanto para elaborarlo, como para degustarlo, hacen de estas gentes un sentir que solo es posible entender, si no es compartiendo con ellos, momentos como los aquí se muestran.

Haro Capital del Rioja te espera, aquí te dejamos su jota para que te la aprendas, cuando subas a Bilibio a su impresionante Batalla del Vino; y te sientas como un jarrero más entre tanta alegría.
