@ Sarria: A dark Lady in a cloister…
Yesterday…a two hours trip by car from Santiago to Sarria, to visit Pati’s aunt who lives there….I had the opportunity to see a bit more of the region of Galicia and not just the nature… Many groups of pilgrims on their ways by feet walking the main street trough the woods a to get to Santiago…( we will talk better about the pilgrims in another post)…
Sarria is a municipality in the province of Lugo, northwestern Spain, in the autonomous community of Galicia. It is head of the region and a popular starting point to begin the Camino de Santiago; many pilgrims (the lazy ones) choose Sarria because the distance from this point to Santiago allows them to cover the necessary kilometers to get the Compostela: 110 km.
Even if not formally invited (for now) I self-invited myself in to take a look at the good job of the monks and their nice relaxing cloister with a central rose garden. A well dressed and slightly chained lady in black is always welcome… don’t you think so?
The Lady in the cloister…
wearing “All the Forbidden Things” chain leash choker, my own creation, Blanco black three gold buttons skirt, Top Intimissimi…
Sarria (Lugo) Cloister of the “Convento de La Merced”
Sarria, Cloister of the “Convento de La Merced”, VITA AETERNA door (no clue what is hidden behind that door, I could just hear the sound of a neverending walk, forward and backward on a wood floor…maybe a father meditating?)
From the darkness to the light… trough the door of eternal life…
In the garden of the cloister…
The roses of the fathers….
I have to say I was expecting a little bit more of cure for the garden, the flowers were not at their bests…
The monastry from the outside…

Do you like the monasteries? I like, and sometimes I wish them.
Tell us about the pilgrims.
Nice skirt!
yes I like them very much, for the aesthetic and for the strictness. Sometimes I dream them as well. The pilgrims, for my point of view dress generally in a bad way: too much colors..it seems they are going to do trekking: they ruin all the atmosphere with their sensless colors. I think a pilgrim should be more humble and dress in a castigated way, for example dark brown, black or white. I feel very disappointed when I try to enjoy a nice crucifixion painting in a dark church with a jellow backpack or orange pantsof a pilgrim next to me ruining the all balance of the colors around….
I want also to add that even if my way of dressing.. due to the nudity may be a bit embarassing for the fathers of the monastry, generally i fit better into that. being dressed in black makes me less intrusive, in a way and more fitting… eh eh eh
so the black at the end also means moderation and respect, not only extreme rebellion. Certainly due respect for what we consider sacred.
I would add that in addition to respect the black can mean deep understanding and feeling. A very colorful dress and covering will therefore be less respectful than a hint of nudity strictly framed in black.
I agree black means<. chastity, moderation, respect and power or can also certainly means rebellion as well..it depends… but not by case monks and nuns often dress black….
I can just say you, lady, are always sexy as hell lol
