Eliadne's Ideas/Sacred Event:
There are two sacred events in my life one is Christmas in which my family and I celebrate the birth of Jesus. It is a time in which our family gets together and enjoy each others company. Additionally, we go to the midnight mass to further celebrate his birth. The second sacred event is my anniversary with my significant other. It is a time in which we rejoice for finding one another, a time to reflect and better our relationship.

Short Video Analysis

In the music video,the leaf, unfrozen river, and the continuous movement of water symbolize the end of a cycle or death to life. The leaf symbolizes the end of a season as well as the unfrozen river. The unfrozen river can also symbolize life by its continuous movement and by moving from winter to spring.  The video was essentially representing the cycle of life by using the elements of nature. At the end of the video the leafs danced with joy when winter came to its end and spring began. The setting of the sun also represented the end of a day and a start of a new one.

Celestial Model and Sacred Center

My first name Maria comes from an Italian origin which means sea of bitterness, desired child, and rebel.
Its significance comes from Mary the mother of the crucified Jesus Christ and the bitterness comes from her suffering. It can also mean beautiful and smart. My parents chose this name for me because I was the first born girl and my mother passed on her first name to me, so I can than pass it on to my first born female. In a sense my family continues the name Maria to keep the legacy of past generations. One of my sacred centers is my home because it is were my loved ones reside and its were I can be stress free. My home is my shelter and where I feel safe.
