NOTES VALENCIA Ethnology.

THE EASTER OF THE MONA (V).

We have discussed the origin of pagan ritual that characterizes the monkey Valencia and the relationship of Easter in the celebration of the spring equinox. We have seen that the chroniclers spoke of Muslims that Christians and Muslims, joined to celebrate a party named in the name of Persian "nawruz," nayruz " "Nowruz" or "non-Ruz," where they celebrate the spring equinox. This party's own Zoroastrian solar cult, religion naiximent before Christ, could not be desarraïlada to Islam from dominating s. VII, it continues to be celebrating today, having sat Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2009.

then let's proceed to see some current or historical characteristics of the equinoci spring celebrations of the proper "nawruz. To do this, spend, both texts de l’Unesco -en la pagina web de l’Unesco, hi ha un resum de caracteristiques en castellà, que està ampliant en angles-, com uns atres llibres.

Segons el resum de l’Unesco, trobem que durant la festivitat, es fan “juegos ancestrales” , que “se interpretan cantos, se ejecutan danzas y se celebran comidas…” . Es diu que “Los que más gozan de las festividades son los niños, que participan en numerosas actividades como la decoración de huevos duros” .

escomençant But the principle is that the last night of the Persian year, prior to "Nawruz" , tradition takes place named "KŮZE Shekastan" consisting "the breaking of Which waves Jars earth symbolically hold bad fortune ", it said, in broken pots containing FANCA which symbolically unlucky. ("Encyclopedia of enforcement, Holidays and Celebrations" ). From the next day, should take special meals as ever to debut clothing - "of eating special food, and the wearing of new clothes" . The food must be seasonal - " serve food of the new season" . (P 559 of vol 1 of the Encyclopaedia "Medieval Islamic civilization" Josef W. Meri, Jere L. Bacharach).

Table of Naw-Ruz, is decorated in fruits pastiços, colored eggs and a few Other Delights, - "The table is decorated with fruit, cakes, colored eggs and other treats ". ( "Naw-Ruz: The Baha'i New Year" John Walbridge), tells us that il'Unesco chiquets actively participate in the festivities, and help to color and decorate eggs bollits in els que juguen finalment, senyalant que el donar color als ous, es una activitat exclusiva del “Nourouz” , - “children participate in the event actively, in such rituals as coloring and decorating the cooked eggs…who finally they play games with the said eggs…It should be said that coloring eggs is an exclusive activity of Nourouz” . Afig que durant esta epoca, es fan artefactes i joguets per als chiquets, - “producing artifacts and toys for children” .

El dia de “ Sizdah-be-dar " on the 13th of month " Farvardin " (2 April), families are leaving the field to eat - " Is it traditional for families to go to the countryside to picnic . ( "World and Its Peoples: Arabian Peninsula" . Marshall Cavendish. -2006. Pp. 526-527). But do not go to any field Updated for looking to be next to a river or lake - " Zoroastrian THEREFORE make a special effort to spend the day beside a river or a lake " . ( "Zoroastrian Heritage" of Eduljee KE). These picnic family are usually acompayats of music and dancing, - "Often accompanied by music and dancing, usually at family picnics" . ( "Calendar of Historical Events, Birth, Holidays and observances" ). The UNESCO adds fire to the party, saying that people from fires meneja singing traditional songs and dancing around the fire, or near water - "people may move in between stacks of fire, singing traditional sound, fire and dance around, or near water ".

now feel that Iran is a Muslim country, to know if you drank wine, go to historical references. And indeed, these parties and No, people drank wine and beer, some surrounded by viagers and splashed dirty water or wine in a number of linguistic and eggs were thrown at each other matter, - "The people drank wine and beer, there were Those Who ambushed travelers and sprayed them with filthy water or wine, and others threw eggs on one another " - being documented the existence of Muslims drink it in public, and non-Muslims or dhimmis, - "There is a report about Muslims drinking wine in public ... like the non Muslims (dhimmis) ". We also know that the upper classes were also ExPost the jokes - "Even emirs and dignitaries were exposed to this sort of ridicule" . (P 559 of flight. 1 "Medieval Islamic civilization" ).

Finally, the book quoted in the preceding paragraph also talks about the games that had sexual connotations of water, - " Sexual Overtones were expressed in the of water play games " - idea is reinforced when we read masquerades and games about sex - "masquerades and sexual games" . (P 249 "The formation of Islam: Religion and Society in the Near East, 600 - 1800" Porter Berkey -2003).

seems unthinkable that all matches between the characteristics of " Nawruz" Iran's current and historical, and those holding proper the monkey Valencia is the result of chance, especially knowing that the writers of Hispania in arap / Al-Andalus, he dien "Nawruz" the solar calendar a party held by local residents, both those who remained Christians, as those who had converted to Islam. As the ritual celebrations of the monkey, either marry the Christian orthodoxy, see if these could only have come from the primitive solar celebrations of a festival dedicated spring equinox, which like the current Iranian, could have inherited from ancient customs, the origin of which could not be more than the Iberians Valencia. To launch the hypothesis should be checked first, the Iberians Valencia were among the peoples of practicaven l'antiguitat that sun worship.

Trobem the resposta in treball "Cycles of time in the Iberian culture: the astronomical orientation in the temple of tossal de Sant Miquel de Llíria" (work prehistory 63, No 1, January-June 2006, pp. 167-178), a parliament of on is "a special role of the sun passes through the equinoxes in the Iberian ritual calendar" , which demonstrate the temple orientations per l'iber of Lliria, affirming that relations eixa astronomical "we could see the sun watching the sunrise on March 21 2004, the day after the spring equinox Anyone year ". Probably the sun cult of the Iberians, the cult is related to the ox, which spoke in "Notes ethnology Valencia-oxen and magic" , being that when the Iberians Valencia looked to the sky during the equinox Spring Veen a silhouette similar to a bull, who probably identified in the divinity that allowed the 'resurrection' of vegetation and crops, allowing the passage from death to life . That happened because the millennium III and IV in. C, during which period emerged and acquired forms of religions in the Middle East, part of the Age of Taurus. (See "Matiz two religious works escultóricas park Elche" Rafael Ramos).

conclude that in view of the east article is surprising similarities between the celebrations of the Zoroastrian "nayruz" on the occasion of the spring equinox and those that are part of the ritual of Easter cake of Valencia; seen that the Islamic domination of 14 letters in the territories where they celebrate "nayruz" have not finished it, saw that the sun's own Zoroastrian cult, also was part of the culture of Valencia Iberians; seen during the five centuries of Islamic domination our territory, it is documented that the Muslim chroniclers spoke of a popular festival in which named nayruz "are all reasons for which can be concluded that the ritual of the Passover cake Valencia could have its origins in celebration of the sun cult of the Iberians own Valencia.

This conclusion would be further evidence that the Valencian people today are the result of a continuity iberorromans population from Valencia, distorted theories of population breakdowns like that so much interested ad some Catalan and acatalanats in general.
