セマナ・サンタにまつわるエトセトラ

3月20日から3月24日まで、セマナ・サンタでお仕事がお休みです。

セマナ・サンタとは、キリスト教の「聖週間」の事。
日本だったら「復活祭」という名前の方が身近かな。
人口の約8割がカトリック教徒のコロンビアでは祝日になるんですね。

去年は首都で語学研修を受けている最中(4月)にセマナサンタがあったので
年によってセマナサンタの日付が異なるという事をここに来てから知りました。

去年はスペイン語もコロンビアの文化もカトリック教徒の文化も
あまりよく分からない状態の中で、ホームステイ先の家族が宗教行事を見せに
連れて行ってくれたのがとても印象に残っています。

で、今年はそのセマナサンタにまつわるイベントや伝えなどがさらに分かってきました。

その1.
セマナ・サンタの1ヶ月前から金曜日にはお肉を食べない。
そして、セマナ・サンタ中(特に木曜日と金曜日)もお肉は食べない。
なので、今週はコロンビアの内陸地では珍しくお魚料理が増えます。
お肉以外に、自分の好物(例えばコーヒー)の摂取を禁じる人もいるんだとか。
でも、国や地域によっては、乳製品・卵・魚を禁止しているところもあるようです。

また、この1週間はアルコール類も禁止されていたり。
普段、休前日のよるはディスコがにぎわうのに、さすがにここ数日は閉店しています。
ただ、昔に比べてそういった慣習が特に若い世代の間で少しずつ薄れているようで、
開いているバーもあり、お酒に酔った若者も見かけました。

お魚料理

写真は昨日、お友達の家で食べさせてもらったお魚料理。
Boca Chico(ボカ・チコ)というお魚。
お魚料理といえばフライが多いこの国では珍しく煮込み魚です。
川魚と聞いたけれど臭くなく、味は鯛みたいで美味しかった~♪
魚の骨が松葉のように途中から二股になっているのが印象的でした。


その2.
Proceccion という行進をする。

これは去年も見て、とても印象に残った行事です。
キリスト像やマリア像のお神輿のようなものを担ぎながら、
担いでいない人はろうそくを灯して街を練り歩き教会に向かう行進。
すごい大人数でした。
所によっては宗教音楽がかかっていたり、説教が流れていたり。

日本ではなかなか大規模な宗教行事を目にすることが無いけれど
国民の大多数が同じ宗教であると街の雰囲気が変わりとても興味深いです。

その3.
セマナ・サンタの何日前か忘れてしまったのですが、
職場の人がほぼ皆、おでこに泥のような炭のようなもので十字架を書いていました。

その4.
セマナ・サンタの木曜日か金曜日に髪の毛を切ると良いという伝え。
私のカウンターパート(PCの先生)は美容師さんという副業を持っています。
その彼女に、この伝えを聞きました。
日本ではお正月3が日は刃物を持たないほうが良い、と聞くけれど
この国では逆なんだなぁ、とちょっと面白く感じました。

実は、日本を出発する直前に髪の毛を切って以来、1年間髪の毛を切っていなかった私。
コロンビアの美容院では、なかなか思ってようには切ってもらえない、
という話を聞いていたのでなんとなく怖くて美容院に行かないまま月日が流れ、
ここまで来たら2年間伸ばし続けようかな~、なんて思っていたんだけれど
さすがにすごく伸びてきて枝毛も増えてきてしまった。

そこで本日、その伝えもある事だし、派遣されて1年という区切りもある事だし、
と意を決してその彼女の美容院に行ってきました!
私としてはその彼女に切ってもらいたかったのだけれど、
彼女は他のお客さんの対応で忙しく、「彼女(本当は彼あせあせ)も腕が良いから」
とその同僚に言われ、もう一人の美容師さんに頼むことに。

こちらではスキバサミがなくて、「きちんと」揃えられてしまうことが多いので
毛先を不揃いな感じにして欲しい、と頼んだのだけれど、、、
「バサッ」という音が聞こえて、目に映ったのは20cmくらい切られた髪の毛。。。
「え~」っとショックは隠しきれず、なんとなくブルーな気分に。。

しかもその彼女(彼)は濡れた髪の毛をまとめる時に水しぶきがはねても気にしない様子。
その上彼女の爪が長くて、爪があたって痛くてさらにブルー度が、、、。

その後もバサッ、バサッと切られていく私の髪の毛。。。
でもチャキチャキチャキという感じの、鋏を縦に入れるような、細かく揃えるような
そういう音は聞かないまま、ドライヤーで乾かす作業が始まり、、、。
出来上がった私の髪の毛、後髪は思ったより切られていなくて安心したものの
顔にかかる辺りの短さと「バサッ」と感。。。
「わぁ、ありがとう!嬉しいハート達(複数ハート)」と心からは言えなかった私。
人間が小さいのかも。ごめんなさい。

見た目は「少女」のような感じになりました涙
そこまで短くしないで、って切られる直前に言わなかった私が悪いのかもしれない。
でも日本だったら切る前に「これくらいで良いですか?」って聞いてくれるのかも。。。
イメージを伝えるのって難しいなぁ。。。
そして日本のサービスの質の高さを改めて感じたりしたのでした。

髪の毛、、大変でしたね、、。

「ありがとう♪」って言えない複雑な気持ちは良く分かります。
日本の人が経営してるところはないんでしょうかね?
あったら、手始めにそこに通ってみるとか。

髪型の表現って難しそう、、。
元気出してくださいね。

> 山下さん
コロンビアには日本人が少ないので、マニサレスと首都ボゴタでは聞いたことがないですね。
日系人の多い街だったらあるのかも。
けれど美容室はすごくたくさんあるので、日本人が経営するには厳しいかもしれません。

次回は日本人の隊員友達に切ってもらいたいなぁ、なんて思ってます。。

女の子は髪に対する意識が強いでしょうから、大変ですね。
美人さんなんですから、髪型ぐらいは譲りましょう!ダメですか??

ウチの弟は私と違ってイケメンで美容師なのですが、お祭りの日には、近所の女の子に無料でスタイリングとかしてましたね。
文化が違うので色々と大変でしょうけれど、良い想い出になる事でしょう。

Hi administrator, I’ve slightly request. I had been simply googleing for some info on the subject you revealed and found this post. Some really nice materials you posted right here. Can I if potential talk about this post on my new web site I'm creating? This may be terrific. I will verify back yet once more afterwards to learn the way you replied. Many thanks

I work as a retailer for a company that sells ecigs and was a customer first. I have heard so many times that the smokers cough gets worse for a week or two before it gets better. This makes sense since the scilia are basically "coming back to life" in the lungs.

Some of this survey would be misleading if I answered it correctly because I suffered a heart attack on December 10th of last year and it was during the stay in the hospital that I was introduced to the electronic cigarette. Since then I have not smoked but I obviously cannot say that my health has improved since that time, it has in fact gotten worse, but this is not because of the electronic cigarettes. In fact if anything, the e-cigs have probably helped me a thousandfold. Since starting using them I have quit smoking and have been able to gradually lower my nicotine intake to the point where now I am just one step away from 0mg nicotine. I will still use the ecigs and my epipe even after going to 0mg. I would like to get my partner to start using an ecigar with 0mg nic because he doesn't smoke it for the nicotine but the smell of the cigar is very disturbing to me now that I've quit smoking.

This is such a fantastic resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing internet websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It?s the old what goes around comes around routine.

I am very glad to see some very strong politically/environmentally critical paintings from you; it also intrigues me to see a little bit of retro-Anthony painting style in composition, from my point of view. Does the political aspect influence earlier times of your artistic skills to out-picture unconsciously? Anyway, I am really happy to be able to enjoy seeing the images of these lovely yet disturbing paintings and hope this idiocy by the bureaucrats will be taken further than they even considered to be the results of their ugly actions.

Very cool :-)

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Nice and very interesting post. Your opinion is more or less the same as main. Thanks!
