Santa Eulàlia

Cathedral of Barcelona (Spain). Today, February 12, is the saint's day of my daughter. His name is Laia, a catalan diminutive of Eulàlia. This is the tomb of Saint Eulalia in the crypt of the Cathedral of Barcelona. This photo is exactly of a year ago. I suppose that today the crypt will be equal of ornamented. Saint Eulalia (d. 12 February 303), co-patron saint of Barcelona, was a thirteen-year-old Roman Christian virgin who suffered martyrdom in Barcelona during the persecution of Christians in the reign of emperor Diocletian. There is some dispute as to whether she is the same person as Saint Eulalia of Mérida, whose story is similar. For refusing to recant her Christianity, the Romans subjected her to thirteen tortures; including: - Putting her into a barrel with knives (or glass) stuck into it and rolling it down a street (according to tradition, the one now called Baixada de Santa Eulalia Saint Eulalia's descent). - Cutting off her breasts. - Crucifixion on an X-shaped cross. She is depicted with this cross, the instrument of her martyrdom. - Finally, decapitation. A dove flew from her neck after decapitation. This is one point of similarity with the story of Eulalia of Mérida, in which a dove flew from the girl's mouth at the moment of her death. In addition, Eulalia of Mérida's tortures are sometimes enumerated among the Barcelona martyr's, and the two were similar in age and year of death. Eulalia is commemorated with statues and street names throughout Barcelona. Her body was originally interred in the church of Santa Maria de les Arenes (St. Mary of the Sands; now Santa Maria del Mar, St. Mary of the Sea). It was hidden in 713 during the Moorish invasion, and only recovered in 878. In 1339, it was relocated to an alabaster sarcophagus in the crypt of the newly-built Cathedral of Santa Eulalia. The festival of Saint Eulalia is held in Barcelona for a week around her feast day on February 12. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Eulalia_of_Barcelona Artizen HDR with Stockham, and after ortonized with PSP. The photo is very noisy because of the darkness and of not using flash nor tripod. The used camera does not have manual adjustments, reason why I had to shoot with preference of exposure to 1/8.

The Square of Sant Felip Neri, located in the Barri Gòtic (Gothic district) of Barcelona, is nowadays a very pleasant place for tourists and locals alike. Whilst children play happily in front of the church, the marks on the church wall are a reminder of the tragic air raid of 30 January 1938, during the Spanish Civil War, when Franco's forces bombed the city. A bomb fell right in the middle of the square and caused a major explosion. As a result, the church roof fell and forty-two people lost their lives, the majority of them children.
