Ngangihlala ngicabanga ukuthi uhambo olubizwa ngokuthi yizindawo ezingcwele luyisifundo esijabulisayo nesingesihle kulabo abanentshisekelo kulo mlando kanye nezakhiwo. Kepha kanye eFrance Lourdes, etholakala eMnyangweni wePyreneree ophezulu eGav de-Po River, ngabona umbono wami ongaqondile. Le ndawo umoya omuhle kakhulu futhi othokozisayo ongazizwa wokuthi uzizwe uzizwe uhilelekile kokunye okuthe xaxa, okunye. Futhi naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi leli dolobha lincane impela, izakhamizi ezingaba ngu-15,000 zihlala lapha, le ndawo kufanelekile ukuvakasha ukuze ubone bonke lobu buhle ngamehlo abo.
Yini edume kangaka ngoLourdes futhi kungani eheha izigidi zabahambi abavela kuwo wonke umhlaba? Ngokusho kwenganekwane, evivinywe yiSonto lamaKhatholika, ngoFebhuwari 11, 1858 kwelinye labantu elizungeze idolobha lasemihulweni, ohlala naye oneminyaka engu-14 ubudala waseBernadette Subite (Bernadette Soubirus) kwakuyintombi nto uMariya. Sekukonke, le ntombazane echazwe kuyo yonke le "phenomena", futhi konke kwenzeka endaweni eduzane noLourdes. Ngemuva kokuhlolwa kwesikhathi eside kwabaphathi besonto, le ntombazane ngaleso sikhathi, yaba yinduna, ibalwa phakathi kwabangcwele ngaphansi kwegama uBernadeta, noLourdes baphenduka isikhungo sangempela sohambo. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, izigidi zabantu ziza lapha ukuzothinta izindonga lapho kwenzeka khona intombi yeNtombi Enkulu, thandaza ethempelini lokuphulukisa.
Kulezi zinsuku, lokhu kuyinkimbinkimbi yangempela ehlanganisa izinhlaka eziphikisayo eziningana. Esedlule ekupakakeni kwedolobha emigwaqweni evuna umoya, izitolo eziningi ze-mouvenir, umuntu udlula ebhulohweni futhi engena emnyango wendawo engcwele. Isivele isuka emaminithini okuqala ungaqinisekisa ubukhulu bale ndawo.
I-Central Pearl Indlu engcwele yokuphumula Yisonto le-Notre-Dame de Lourdes (Notre-Dame de Lourdes), eyakhelwe esizeni sento yokuqala yeNtombi Enyulu uMariya. Eqinisweni, lokhu kuyinkimbinkimbi yethempeli yonke ehlanganisa amasonto amaningana, i-basilica engaphansi komhlaba neyasemhlabeni nokunye.
Edlula ngesango, into yokuqala umuntu ayibonayo yi-alley enkulu eholela ekungeneni kwethempeli nesithombe sentombi enguMariya esasungulwa phambi kwakhe. Emakhondweni, ungabona imicabango eyingqayizivele lapho imithandazo iqoshwa ngezilimi ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba. Ngakwesokudla kukhona uhlobo lwe-booth yolwazi - umnyuziyamu omncane nge-canvas kanye nemibhalo, ngesiNgisi nangesiFrance echaza izehlakalo ezenzekile kule ndawo.
Ithempeli lokuqala elivula ngendlela yokusondela kwezivakashi yi-basilica engaphansi komhlaba yeSt X (Basilique Souterraine st-pie x). Ukuphuma kuye, ungagibela ibhuloho laseSaint-Michel (iPont St-Michel) ukuze ufike eKhathedrali Elikhulu LaseLourdes - Notre Dame de Lourdes. Umhlobiso wabanakekeli bahambelana nenani elinamathele kubo, futhi ukusuka epulatifomu ephezulu kuvula umbono ongafinyeleleki wendawo ezungezile.
Ngemuva kokubona i-basilica emibili kukhona i-rosaire basilica engeyona eye-kazilique (i-basilique supérieure), kufanelekile ukwehla ukuze ubone umhume oyisimangaliso ukuze ubone ngamehlo akho (grotte miraculase).
Kuyafaneleka ukulungele iqiniso lokuthi umugqa omude welulela umhume, empeleni uhamba ngokushesha, eqinisweni, abantu badlula odongeni odongeni bese bephuma, ngakho-ke akudingeki ukuba ume kancane isikhathi. Eduze kunemithombo lapho ungathola khona amanzi angcwele. Uma ungazange uthathe ibhodlela nawe, akunandaba - kunemishini ekhethekile endaweni eyinkimbinkimbi, lapho ungathatha khona ibhodlela ongalithatha. Okwamangala ukuthi wonke ama-bubble atholakala ngokukhululekile - ipuleti elithunyelwe kuphela elinebhodi elinconyiwe (kusuka ku-2.25 kuya ku-2 euros, ngokuya ngokobuqotho bezivakashi ngokwabo, ehlise izinhlamvu zemali ezitsheni ezivaliwe. Ngendlela, uhlelo olufanayo lusebenza lapho uthenga amakhandlela akhokha ethempelini. Udinga nje kuphela lapho usondela endaweni egcinwe khona, thatha ikhandlela olithandayo bese wehlisa uhlamvu lwemali ebhokisini (noma kunjalo, amakhandlela abiza kakhulu abiza kakhulu, cishe ama-3 euros nangaphezulu). Nakhu okugeza - abesifazane nabesilisa - lapho ungangena khona emanzini aqhamuka emthonjeni ongcwele. Kuliqiniso, okugeza kuvulwa ngesikhathi esithile sokuphumula ngokusho kwesheduli, ngakho-ke kungcono ukukucacisa kusengaphambili (kuthunyelwe endaweni efanayo, emnyango). Eningizimu, umkhondo wentaba uqala eBaselica engenhla - okubizwa ngokuthi ngumuntu obizwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu ngeziteshi eziyishumi nane (ngenani lezitobha ezishiwo nguJesu Kristu endleleni eKalvari).
Lakanye lapha ngokushesha saqala ukucaca ukuthi umuntu omaziyo ne-eanstore angashiya okungenani usuku. Kepha uhlola insimu yawo, akufanele uphuthume ukushiya ama-lourdes ngokushesha. Ngemuva kwakho konke, edolobheni kusenokuthile ongakubona.
Ngakho-ke, enkabeni yakhe, edwaleni kukhuphuka Isigodlo se-Lourdish, Ukusebenzela indawo enamandla yokuzivikela kusukela ngesikhathi seRoma yasendulo. Ngokwemithombo ebhaliwe, ngekhulu lesi-8, kuyo ngasikhathi sinye kwaba nenkosi yaseFrance yaseKarl, kwathi kamuva waba yibukhosi lamakhosi aseFrance nakancane. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kwashintsha ngandlela thile, ngekhulu le-13 - 14, umbhoshongo we-Donjon wanamathele ekwakhiweni kokuqala futhi ngenxa yalokho le nqaba yaphenduka kakhudlwana.
Kulezi zinsuku endaweni yenqaba I-Pyrenean Museum Ezinchazelweni zazo yizinto zobuciko nempilo yezakhamizi zalesi sifunda. Enye yezifiso ezinhle kakhulu, ngombono wami, iqoqo lamamodeli ezindlu zezifunda ezahlukahlukene zezwe. Kusuka endaweni yokuhlola yenqaba, umbono omuhle kakhulu wedolobha nendawo okuzungezile kuyavuleka.
Ngaphezu kwale mnyuziyamu, kunenye indawo engathandeki eLourda - I-Wax Museum Kunikezelwe ezinsizeni zobuKristu. Emahholo akhe ungabona uJesu Kristu, nomama uTeresu, kanye nentombazane yaseBernadettu, eyayisondelene nedolobha, i-Virgo Maria, ngisho nokukhiqizwa kwe- "Beaseseen kusihlwa" uLeonardo da Vinci. Kunomnyuziyamu eRue de La Grotte, 87, isebenza kusuka ngo-9,00 kuye ku-18,30 ngezindleko zethikithi lokungena liye kuma-7 euros kubantu abadala kanye nama-3.5 euros ezinganeni.
Ngakho-ke, empeleni idolobha elihehayo, okungenzeka uma kungenzeka, kuyadingeka ukuvakasha. Lapha kubusa okukhethekile ngokuphelele, akukho lutho olungenziwa ngomkhathi, abantu abakhuluma ngezilimi ezahlukahlukene babuthana lapha, ukuphulukisa noma vele bathinte okuthile okunamandla, kokuthile okungajwayelekile.
