all need to thank you for giving us guidance and help , and for now representing us

Hola Bandita!

congratulations



You work so hard, you deserve all these congratulatory wishes and much more. What a great effort you put in here at SD...I love all your posts, they are so helpful and interesting. Well done amiga!

I thought you might like this photo of the legendary Camargues, it is one of my favourite breeds. They are racing each other through the salt flats of France. The story goes that they are one of the oldest breeds in the world, and that they arrived in the Camargue with the three Mary's. I hope the story is interesting for you.

Camargues

The Camargue in general and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in particular are associated with the Roma (Gypsies, French Gitans). In medieval times this was the site of the a Roma pilgrimage made each year to venerate Saint Sara, It still is today.

According to local legend three biblical Marys arrived here across the Mediterranean Sea - hence the name: Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer means "Three Marys of the Sea". According to some they were Mary, mother of Jesus, Mary, sister of Lazarus, and Mary Magdalene. This story keeps resurfacing, most recently in the 1970 in "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" and in the twenty first century in Dan Browne's "The Da Vinci Code".

The three Marys are sometimes represented as Mary Jacobé (the sister of Mary, Jesus' mother) and Mary Salomé (the mother of Apostles James the Greater and John); and Mary-Magdalene. Sara is often explained away as a servant. Either way the three Mary's were supposedly expelled from Jerusalem around the year AD 40. They were shipped off, along with Lazarus, Martha, Maximin, and Sidon, on a boat without sails, oars or provisions. According to the story Sara was not allowed on board, but one of the Marys threw her coat onto the waters and it miraculously turned a raft, allowing Sara to join the other sea farers. Their boat eventually landed near Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. The Marys - and Sara - lived out the rest of their days in the Camargue, where their graves became a places of pilgrimage, especially for gypsies - Sara became the patron saint of the Gypsies, and today it is the Gypsies that ride the mighty Camargues.

The horses are beautiful! What an interesting legend! I wonder if the Gypsy boys in the movie "Into the West" rode one. It's more than a kid's movie, too! - bandit51jd, Jul 28, 2012
