LAT: Latvijas nozimigakais katolu
garigais centrs un pasaules meroga svetvieta ir gleznainaa, ezeriem
apvitaa Aglona Latgalee. Te ik gadu Jaunavas Marijas debesis
uznemšanas dienaa 15. augustaa ierodas simtiem
tukstošu svetcelnieku no visas Austrumeiropas.
Par Aglonu stasta ne vienu vien brinumu.
Piemeram, kaads zemnieks Kristaps Mateisans no Spiku ciema pari
Ciriša ezeram bija vedis uz Aglonu bernu kristit. Airejoties
pari ezeram, sacelusies liela auka un vilni sakuši svaidit
laivu, un zemnieks, valdidams to, nav pamanijis, ka berns iekritis
ezera. Apjautis nelaimi, Kristaps sacis skala balsi piesaukt
Aglonas Dievmati. Un taja paša bridi berns atradies krasta
tuvuma - krastmala esošie cilveki to dzivu un veselu
izvilkuši no ezera.
ENG: The most important Catholic
spiritual centre in Latvia and the sacred site on a global scale is
located in Aglona, a picturesque Latgalian town surrounded by
lakes. Every year on the day of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary– on 15 August– hundreds of thousands of
pilgrims arrive here from Eastern Europe.
A lot of miracle stories have been told about
Aglona. For example, a peasant named Kristaps Mateisans from Spiki
village was taking his child over the Lake of Cirulitis to Aglona
to christen him. While rowing over the lake, a huge gale was rising
and the waves tumbled and tossed the boat, but the peasant was
navigating the boat and did not notice that his child fell into the
lake. When he realised the disaster, Kristaps started to call out
loud Our Lady of Aglona. And at the very moment the child turned up
on the bank– the people standing there had pulled him out of
the lake safe and sound.
