The "Cantata" Christmas John coins, precious tradition of high-quality eco

When Oppido that even on their backs, whether overt or creeping, traditions seem to want to sweep every good habit, even religious, as if a new iconoclastic fury had now taken hold even in our part of the most unexpected, we want to trust the words of the great John Conia , a distinguished oppidese of adoption, to find the true essence of Christmas, the size of that rebirth in fact preached peace to this great feast.

Towards this great poet and priest, born in 1752 near Galatro, entered the cathedral chapter of Oppido ripe age, who died in 1839, Oppido, as it did, unfortunately for many of its illustrious sons and disappeared, was never prodigal of memories.

Reread and think today at least these few verses of the great theologian, orator, humanist and venerable abbot also means for us all to find, at least in part, the true size of our local Christmas tradition that stubborn, survives despite everything.

CANTATA FOR CHRISTMAS

nights and Chisti Who?
vuci Who on sti?
Community is light

About allegrizza
Sti songs and soni:
Nc'è so facie,

L'omani abballanu
L'angeli cantanu
La lla ra rà.
Mancu li griji
Stannu a lu pratu;
Nu nivolatu
pe ll'aria va.
Chi nc'è di novu?
Tuttu lu beni
Supra ndi veni:
Ecculu ccà.
Lu mundu è sarvu:
Lu Sarvaturi,
Lu Redenturi
Cumparsi già.
Eu sugnu mbriacu
Pe tantu preju:
Cchiù I reju
Who nc'è CCA?
Cotrari and snakes, meerkats and cat

fannu The flap;
not nc'è Mali.
Ficiaru peaceful
Wolves and agneji,
Farcuni and Oceja;
und'è War?
Mo Mo Leun
not irgi crigna,
Mansa and benign
The tigers are.

Vinni the Peaces:

charity.
Lu Ddeu Amur
figghiu divinu
Nasciu Bambinu
Ecculu ja.

John Conia
