Michelangelo, Creation, Sistine Chapel Rome |
God who creates one of the first things the holidays. We have a similar vision of the beautiful and important things in life: sky, sea, nature, animals, food, women, the holidays.
Rereading this story, is a bit 'like coming in third grade catechism. It 's a simple story that you read quickly and willingly, rich visual suggestions.
I try to put myself in the shoes of those who listened when he started to come in the tradition of folk tales, probably several millennia before the birth of Jesus: I imagine entire families gathered around the fire, and a skilled storyteller to tell about this God who created everything from nothing there. Affectionate mothers caress their children on the head, noting with a smile full of sweetness the looks of their kidnapped children while they are there to listen to an old actor - I can imagine such Vittorio Gassman - that really entertains them with this tale of science fiction. Considering the poor
iconographic era, devoid of films, photographs, illustrated books, if told with the breaks and the right time, a story so a child could be really great. I think your imagination will be affected as that of a child of today watching the Lord of the Rings or 3D avatars, a bit 'as the small Totò Cascio when for the first time on the screen rolls his eyes in the dark magic of Cinema Paradiso. A world that comes alive. Wow! Small
curiosity / note language. Always, when I happened to hear the story of creation, I noticed that it did not seem to have much sense of the passage in which God says: "It shall be called Woman because it was created by man." That causal / consequential is it? Thank you notes, I find now - as indeed it can be easily guessed, it did not take a genius! - Which in Hebrew terms used for men and women are very similar: a play on words in Italian that went something like this: "it will be called because Uoma was created by man. "That seems much more sensible.
