Rain and Cicadas

Last night, E.S. had its first rain of the season. This one of the signs that we're on Easter time or more like ; then comes the crying of the chicharras (cigarras or cicadas) who are of great significance to what comes next: Holy week!

The cicadas have lots of myths, mostly and in many countries, they're related with Christianity:
  • Their cycle of life is coordinated with Holy week
  • They come out around March through April, sometimes until May
  • Their singing is refered as songs of love or sorrow
  • They have 3 ocellies which many think that they're the three nails embedded to Jesus Christ.
  • For many people, the cicada reminds them they must live the Lent
For me, they tell me it's almost time for our MEGAMISSIONS!
