Chicory, the little news from the North of Tuesday September 17
Sometimes bitter, sometimes comforting, the “new news” from the North of Tuesday September 17 in Sambre-Avesnois, Cambrésis, Douaisis, Arrageois and Valenciennois to shine at the coffee machine.
Hi there, we are the Tuesday September 17. On the menu of your Chicory, a little info from the North:
- Today is the 261st day of the year and we celebrate Renaud. The saint of the day, a monk of Picardy origin, lived in the 11th century, a period that saw Western Christianity emerge from the darkness. He joined Robert d’Arbrissel, founder of the famous Fontevrault Abbey, between Chinon and Saumur.
- The sun rises at 7:27 and sets at 19:57 (-4 min). Your day will last 12:30 hours.
- On September 17, 335, the dedication of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, on the supposed site where Christ was buried after his crucifixion, in Jerusalem. According to legend, this place had been identified ten years earlier by Empress Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, who then reigned over the Eastern Empire. Thus, the latter ordered the construction of a basilica and a rotunda around the tomb. The inauguration of the complex would make Jerusalem a great city of Christian pilgrimage.
The real challenge is to maintain attention with next to nothing.
