The "bloodshed" We are now at the crucial week, the one that precedes the festival. We came too quickly, overwhelmed by the usual skirmishes that inevitably accompany now preparing the event, between factions in name only oppose each other and the fact that instead of working, each with its own resources and his "idealism" that the party is memorable.
Means and idealism make the difference and unfortunately do not coincide, it seems that the ideals do not have the means and who has the means (money and power) does not have ideals ... .. or at least make use of the resources available for other purposes that do not have much to do with what the festival should be, namely the celebration of an ancient rite in a special place.
The "bloodshed", as our fathers called and still call oggi le reliquie conservate a Bolsena, sparso come i fiori che disponiamo con grande pazienza, rinnovando ogni anno questo rito nel luogo del Miracolo.
Perché il "Corpus Domini" di Bolsena non è la solita festa patronale di un qualunque paese, la Festa che qui ha avuto origine è Festa di tutto il mondo cristiano, e l’Infiorata è l’unica tradizione che da sempre l’ha celebrata.
