Medieval and Mythology Since Christmas is near, Id like to propose the hagiography of Saint Wenceslas martyr, patron of Check Republic. King Wenceslas I lived in the X century and he was known for being a very generous Christian king, in an era when the Christianity wasnt diffused in the eastern Europe. He was in fact killed by his brother. It is said that no one could clean his blood from the wooden floor. In the XIX century a song has been composed in his honor, using a Renaissances melody of the XVI century, which is considered today, in Northen Europe countries, as a Christmas Carol, because of the mention of Saint Stephen. Between the many versions of Good King Wenceslas, my favorite one is that by Blacmores Night, you can find it in the album: Winter Carols. Visto che il Natale si avvicina, propongo lAgiografia di San Vinceslao martire patrono della Repubblica Ceca. Re Vinceslao I visse nel X secolo ed era conosciuto per essere un re cristiano molto generoso, in unepoca in cui il cristianesimo non era diffuso nellEuropa orientale. Egli fu infatti ucciso da suo fratello. Si dice che nessuno sia riuscito a lavare via il sangue dal pavimento in legno. Nel XIX secolo fu composta una canzone in suo onore, su una melodia rinascimentale del XVI secolo, che viene oggi considerata, nei paesi del nord Europa come un canto natalizio, per la menzione del giorno di Santo Stefano. Fra le numerose versioni di Good King Wenceslas, la mia preferita è quella dei Blackmores Night, reperibile nellalbum Winter Carols. -Andromeda https://youtube/watch?v=GKVU8BoKLMQ
