Sv. Jakob

Na današnji dan je 460. obletnica rojstva našega skladatelja in velikana renesančne glasbe Jakoba Petelina Gallusa.

Mi pa smo se že drugo leto zapored zbrali v Logatcu pri Mirovih na pikniku sv. Jakoba, ki ima poseben družinski pomen: Mirov oči je pred 6-imi leti prehodil Camino de Santiago de Compostela v Španiji in od tam prinesel kipec sv. Jakoba s simbolom te poti – školjko Jakobovo pokrovačo.
Ta kipec pa je imel nekoč nesrečo in je bil ob glavo, svetniški sij, podstavek in še desetine malih koščkov. Nama z Mirom je bila zaupana naloga, da ga spraviva v kar se da približno prvotno stanje. Sestavila sva ga lani, tako da je na prvem pikniku že sijal v popravljeni podobi.

Mislim, da nama je kar dobro uspelo, žal mi je le, da postopka nisva dokumentirala. Tako lahko sedaj pokažem samo že restavriranega, slikanega danes;

Today is the 460th anniversary of birth of our composer and master of renaissance music Jakob Petelin Gallus.

And today was the second year in a row that we gathered in Logatec at Miro’s family for picnic of sv. Jakob (st. James). This saint has a special meaning in the family: Miro’s father walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain 6 years ago and brought back home a little statue of sv. Jakob with the symbol of the path – scallop (Jakob’s) shell.
But this statue had a little accident and sv. Jakob lost his head and statue stand. His saintly halo crashed into dozens of little pieces. Miro and I were asked to fix it. We put everything together last year so he was all new and shiny at first picnic in his honour.

I think we were quite successful at it, I’m just sorry that we didn’t took any documenting photos of the procedure. So now I can show you only how the restored statue looked today:

Dodajam pa še nekaj
povsem posvetnih utrinkov z današnjega piknika :)

I’m adding a few
quite worldly moments from today’s picnic :)
