St Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world's most popular saints.

(Catholic Online) Apostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 461.

Along with St. Nicholas and St. Valentine, the secular world shares our love of these saints. This is also a day when everyone's Irish.

There are many legends and stories of St. Patrick, but this is his story.

Patrick was born around 385 in Scotland, probably Kilpatrick. His parents were Calpurnius and Conchessa, who were Romans living in Britian in charge of the colonies.

As a boy of fourteen or so, he was captured during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. Ireland at this time was a land of Druids and pagans. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him.

During his captivity, he turned to God in prayer. He wrote

"The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same." "I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain."

Patrick's captivity lasted until he was twenty, when he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast. There he found some sailors who took him back to Britian, where he reunited with his family.

He had another dream in which the people of Ireland were calling out to him "We beg you, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more."

He began his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained by St. Germanus, the Bishop of Auxerre, whom he had studied under for years.

Later, Patrick was ordained a bishop, and was sent to take the Gospel to Ireland. He arrived in Ireland March 25, 433, at Slane. One legend says that he met a chieftain of one of the tribes, who tried to kill Patrick. Patrick converted Dichu (the chieftain) after he was unable to move his arm until he became friendly to Patrick.

Patrick began preaching the Gospel throughout Ireland, converting many. He and his disciples preached and converted thousands and began building churches all over the country. Kings, their families, and entire kingdoms converted to Christianity when hearing Patrick's message. (read more)

En Memoria de Juana Bacallao

En la mañana de hoy, 24 de febrero, falleció en La Habana, a la edad de 98 años, Amelia Martínez Salazar, conocida nacional e internacionalmente como Juana Bacallao.

Nacida en La Habana, en mayo de 1925, debutó de la mano del destacado músico y compositor Obdulio Morales, marcó un hito en la historia del cabaret cubano, desde la década del 50 del pasado siglo hasta hace apenas unos años.

Por su peculiar manera de proyectarse en escena, resultó inolvidable su paso por los cabarets capitalinos Sans Sousi, Tropicana, Copa Room del Riviera, Parisién del Hotel Nacional de Cuba, Salón Rojo del Capri, Caribe del Hotel Habana Libre, así como por los clubes Alí y Palermo, el Teatro Campoamor y los Aires Libres del Prado, instituciones que también la recibieron a lo largo de su meritoria carrera.

Conocida también como Juana La Cubana, compartió escenario con artistas de la talla de Chano Pozo, Meme Solís, Moraima Secada, Nat King Cole, Bola de Nieve, Rosita Fornés, Ninón Sevilla, Celeste Mendoza, Benny Moré, Elena Burque, Rafaela Carrá y Omara Portuondo, entre muchos otros.

Combinó en su modo de interpretar letras de canciones con textos burlescos y trágicómicos, aderezados por su singular histrionismo. Todavía se recuerda su impronta en emblemáticos espectáculos de variedades como la Caperucita se divierte, entre muchos otros.

Dueña de un especialísimo sentido de la cubanía y el humor criollo, llevó su arte e ingenio a países como Estados Unidos, Francia, México, Venezuela, República Dominicana y España. Su partida física representa una sensible pérdida para la escena musical cubana.
