圣艾格尼丝的前夕

 圣艾格尼丝的前夕

Paul King

姑娘们,如果你想梦见你未来的伴侣,请寻找哑巴蛋糕的配方,并为圣艾格尼丝之夜做好准备吧!

1月20日是圣艾格尼丝前夕,传统上这天晚上,希望梦见未来丈夫的女孩和未婚妇女会在睡前举行某些仪式。

离奇的是,这些仪式包括在背诵主祷文时将别针一个一个地从针垫上移到袖子上,倒着走到楼上去睡觉或整天禁食。 另一个传统是在睡觉前吃一份哑巴蛋糕(一种与朋友一起在完全沉默中准备的咸味甜点),希望能梦到未来的爱情:"圣艾格尼丝,这是对恋人的恩赐/来减轻我心中的烦恼"

在苏格兰,女孩们会在午夜时分在一片庄稼地里聚会,把谷物扔到土壤上并进行祈祷:

艾格尼丝甜美,艾格尼丝美丽、

到这里来,到这里来,现在修理;

邦妮-艾格尼丝,让我看看

将要嫁给我的那个小伙子'。

那么,谁是圣艾格尼丝呢? 艾格尼丝是一个年轻漂亮的基督教女孩,家境良好,4世纪初生活在罗马。 罗马省长的儿子想娶她,但她拒绝了他,因为她决定献身于宗教的纯洁性。 由于她的拒绝,被冷落的追求者向当局告发她是一个基督徒。 艾格尼丝的惩罚是被扔进公共妓院。

然而,她却免于这种可怕的折磨。 根据一个传说,所有试图强奸她的男人都立即被打瞎或瘫痪。 在另一个传说中,她的处女之身被天上的雷电所保护。

现在,她被判处为女巫,并被判处烧死,年轻的殉道者被绑在木桩上,但木头不会燃烧;然后一个守卫用剑将她斩首。 . 艾格尼丝在304年1月21日去世时只有12或13岁。

八天后,当她的父母去看她的坟墓时,迎接他们的是一群天使的合唱,其中包括艾格尼丝,她身边有一只白色的小羊。 小羊是纯洁的象征,是与圣艾格尼丝有关的标志之一。

圣艾格尼丝是贞洁、女孩、订婚夫妇、强奸受害者和处女的守护神。

济慈最受欢迎的一首诗发表于1820年,名为《圣艾格尼丝前夕》,讲述了玛德琳和她的情人波菲罗的故事。 在这首诗中,济慈提到了女孩希望在圣艾格尼丝前夕梦见她们未来的情人的传统:

"在圣艾格尼丝前夕,/年轻的处女可能会有快乐的幻觉,/从她们的爱人那里得到柔和的爱慕"。
