\u00e8 acceso di luci a intermittenza.\u00a0Il Natale \u00e8 arrivato. Pensare a questa festa come a un rito immobile nel tempo, per\u00f2, \u00e8 un errore. Dimenticate per un attimo la tradizione intoccabile: il 25 dicembre che conosciamo oggi \u00e8 un mosaico affascinante di storia, astronomia e stratificazioni culturali.<br \/>\nEcco come abbiamo costruito il Natale moderno, smontando qualche falso mito.<\/p>\n<h4>Il solstizio e la luce: una data non casuale<\/h4>\n<p>Partiamo da un dato di fatto: nei Vangeli non c\u2019\u00e8 traccia della data di nascita di Ges\u00f9. Perch\u00e9 allora festeggiamo proprio ora?<br \/>\nLa risposta va cercata nel\u00a0cielo, sopra le nostre teste. Il solstizio d&#8217;inverno (21 dicembre) \u00e8 il momento in cui il buio tocca il suo apice e la luce ricomincia a guadagnare terreno. Per gli antichi, questo ritorno del sole era fondamentale. A Roma, proprio a ridosso di questa data, si celebravano i Saturnali (una settimana di &#8220;mondo alla rovescia&#8221; dove gli schiavi venivano serviti dai padroni) e successivamente, il Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (il giorno del Sole Invitto). La scelta del 25 dicembre da parte della Chiesa, ufficializzata nel IV secolo, non fu arbitraria ma profondamente simbolica: collocare la nascita di Cristo in questo periodo permise di armonizzare la nuova fede con il sentire popolare, trasformando la celebrazione della luce solare in quella della &#8220;Luce del Mondo&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h4>Bue e Asinello: gli &#8220;abusivi&#8221; del Vangelo<\/h4>\n<p>Basta dare un\u2019occhiata al presepe per capire chi detta davvero le regole: il bue e l&#8217;asinello, presenze fisse nelle nostre stalle di cartapesta. Ma tecnicamente non dovrebbero essere l\u00ec. Nei Vangeli canonici di Luca e Matteo, infatti, non vengono mai nominati. La loro presenza deriva dai Vangeli Apocrifi e da antiche tradizioni che leggevano in chiave simbolica alcune profezie dell&#8217;Antico Testamento. Eppure, la tradizione popolare \u00e8 stata pi\u00f9 forte della teologia: provate oggi a toglierli dal presepe di nonna e vedete cosa succede.<\/p>\n<h4>L&#8217;Albero: dai boschi celti al salotto buono<\/h4>\n<p>Mentre il presepe \u00e8 un&#8217;invenzione &#8220;nostrana&#8221; (grazie a San Francesco), l&#8217;albero \u00e8 \u201cl&#8217;immigrato\u201d di successo delle nostre feste. Le sue radici affondano nel Nord Europa: Celti e Germani veneravano gli alberi sempreverdi come simbolo della vita che resiste al gelo. La vera svolta pop arriva per\u00f2 nell&#8217;Ottocento, grazie alla Regina Vittoria e al marito Alberto: una loro illustrazione accanto a un abete addobbato fece il giro del mondo, trasformando un&#8217;usanza nordica nell\u2019ultima tendenza irrinunciabile per la borghesia europea.<\/p>\n<h4>Il Vischio: zona franca per il bacio<\/h4>\n<p>Un altro classico delle feste universitarie \u00e8 il bacio sotto il vischio. Questa usanza non ha nulla a che vedere con la Nativit\u00e0, ma molto con i Druidi celti. Poich\u00e9 cresce sui rami senza toccare terra, il vischio era considerato una pianta divina, capace di curare i mali e favorire la fertilit\u00e0. Baciarsi l\u00ec sotto era un modo per augurarsi fortuna (e una scusa socialmente accettata per rompere il ghiaccio con la persona puntata dall&#8217;inizio del semestre).<\/p>\n<h4>Babbo Natale: il vero influencer \u00e8 la Coca-Cola?<\/h4>\n<p>Qui serve fare chiarezza. Babbo Natale nasce dalla figura storica di San Nicola, vescovo di Myra (citt\u00e0 della Turchia)\u00a0e curiosamente, antico patrono degli studenti. Ma il vestito rosso \u00e8 colpa della Coca-Cola? Ni. San Nicola era gi\u00e0 raffigurato con paramenti rossi ben prima del XX secolo. Tuttavia, le pubblicit\u00e0 della Coca-Cola degli anni &#8217;30, firmate da Haddon Sundblom, illustratore\u00a0e pittore statunitense, hanno standardizzato l&#8217;immagine globale: non pi\u00f9 un vescovo smilzo, ma un nonno paffuto e bonario. Un capolavoro visivo che ha fissato per sempre il volto del Natale moderno.<\/p>\n<h4>Parma, il rito e la &#8220;tregua&#8221; calorica<\/h4>\n<p>Poco importa alla fine, che le origini siano un mix di storia e leggenda. Per noi studenti fuorisede o parmigiani DOC, il Natale segna soprattutto una tregua contro i CFU. \u00c8 il momento in cui la nebbia della Bassa diventa atmosfera. Che crediate o meno al Sol Invictus, il vero miracolo a Parma si compie quando il brodo bolle e gli anolini (rigorosamente galleggianti) arrivano in tavola.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c8 l\u00ec, tra un bicchiere di Lambrusco e una domanda scomoda dei parenti sulla laurea, che la tradizione si rinnova davvero.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dai Saturnali romani agli anolini: viaggio alle origini del 25 dicembre<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2750,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[139],"autore":[168],"class_list":["post-2746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cool-tura","tag-natale","autore-andrew-pompili"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2746"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3453,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2746\/revisions\/3453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2746"},{"taxonomy":"autore","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studentmag.unipr.it\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/autore?post=2746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
