Il 16 e il 17 gennaio, in tantissimi paesi del cuore della Sardegna, si celebra la festa del fuoco di Sant'Antonio, una tradizione secolare che segna anche l'inizio del Carnevale nella nostra Isola. Secondo la leggenda, Sant'Antonio rubò dagli Inferi una scintilla e la donò all'umanità sulla Terra, che all'epoca era attraversata da temperature glaciali, portando luce e calore necessari al sostentamento dei popoli. Per questo motivo, nella notte tra il 16 e il 17 gennaio, tantissime comunità della Sardegna e non solo, celebrano questa secolare tradizione con una festa in onore del Santo. Il simbolo della celebrazione è proprio il fuoco, elemento di congiuntura tra il sacro ed il profano, intorno al quale gli abitanti dei paesi si riuniscono e si scambiano il vino ed il cibo preparato per l'occasione. Anche il tradizionale rito di compiere tre giri in senso orario ed altrettanti in senso antiorario intorno al grande falò si tramanda attraverso la notte di Sant'Antonio, e si compie dopo la processione durante la quale il parroco del paese benedice la propria comunità prima di recarsi verso i focolari. Sa notte e Santu Antoni in Otzana (La notte di Sant'Antonio a Ottana) – nella foto in primo piano Su Boe ------ I Bòes sono maschere della tradizione barbaricina tipiche del carnevale di Ottana e tra le più conosciute in tutta la Sardegna. Rappresentano la lotta tra l'istinto animalesco e la ragione umana; infatti, nelle esibizioni carnevalesche, il Boe viene inseguito, frustato e catturato dal Merdule, recitando furiose risse. ---- Su Boe, i Boes indossano sul volto una maschera (caratza in sardo) che ha le fattezze di un bue (da qui il loro nome). Per realizzare la maschera viene utilizzato prevalentemente pero selvatico e possono esservi diverse decorazioni, tra le quali il più famoso fiore della vita, simbolo di prosperità, di speranza e di buon auspicio. Essi indossano pelli di pecora bianca e hanno un grappolo di campanacci a tracolla (detti anche Su Erru o Su Sonazos) dal peso di circa 30 kg. Su Merdule, i Merdules, propriamente "i guardiani dei buoi", cercano di comandare i boes durante tutta la sfilata. Anch'essi sono coperti di pelli di pecora bianca o nera (abbastanza raro) e indossano una maschera di colore nero che ha le fattezze del volto di un vecchio uomo deforme, brutto e con una bocca ghignante. Utilizzano un bastone, Su Matzuccu, col quale richiamano a sé i Boes, o provano ad addomesticarli usando una fune di cuoio, Sa Soca.

All your images exude true and genuine love for your land, for its beauties, customs and traditions. A culture that is lost in the mists of time and that must be preserved and brought to the attention of those who do not know this wonderful island and its traditions. The photo takes you into the esoteric emotions of these pagan rites that have been perpetuated since the dawn of time. Congratulations again Giuseppe. Good we.
bye gios ;-)

Very beautiful, I appreciate the chromatic "warmth", but above all the church in the background struck my attention, which completes and masterfully enhances the image...
The church is beautiful, even if in my heart the feeling of when years ago the splendid basilica of Saccargia appeared to me as in a dream kissed by the golden sun of sunset remains indelible ...
A detailed greeting Gianka
