The Legend of The Nails for The Cross of Jesus -La légende des ongles pour la croix de Jésus

am adding this story for Kristine..but I hope everyone will enjoy reading it.. I know many will know the story very well..but I also know you never tire of hearing it so Phrals , Phena's & bitti Chavvies..sit down and enjoy :-)

There are several versions of this Story..but this is the one I like best :-)

One day long ago a Roman soldier visited a Gypsy Smith to order 12 large nails. The Gypsy began work on the nails but he had no idear that they were to be used to nail Jesus and the two thieves to the Crosses.

The night before the crucifixion, a little Gypsy girl slept in a camp nearby, she had the gift of sight, in a vision she saw that the Gypsy Smith had been tricked, and the reason for which the nails were intended.

The little girl crept from her bed, and used her gift to find the place where the nails lay waiting , she was very small and the nails were on a high shelf , the little girl strained to reach the nails. Just as she they were almost in reach she heard a Roman guard approach the room, she managed to grab just three of the nails the others clattered to the floor, she had been seen ..but she managed to escape with the three nails.

This why Jesus and the two theives were crucified with just three nails each...a nail for each hand..and a single nail to secure the feet.

The Gypsies had to flee because the Roman soldiers were very angry aboyt the little girl stealing the nails..God the father saw it all..and smiled down upon the Gypsy people..and as the little girl had used her gift..and stolen..in an attempt to save his beloved son..God bestowed upon the Gypsy people for all time the right to steal...but if this right were accepted then the gift of Sight would could never be used to see for each other....this is using the gift to see for each other is a taboo for the Gypsy people.


After the crucifixion a lynch mob was formed to hunt down the Gypsies..but the Gypsies escaped The story goes that ever since ..the "gadje" ( non Gypsy people) have been hunting for the Gypsies..and this is another reason why the Gypsies are wanderers According to the story..it is only when the nails are found that the persecution of the Gypsies will end.

Please scroll to the end ..to read a poem by the Sinti (German Gypsy) Poet SpatzoThis Poem is posted in English , French and its original form

J'ajoute cette histoire pour Kristine.mais j'espère que chacun aura plaisir à le lire. Je sais que beaucoup sauront l'histoire très bien.mais je ne vous connais jamais également pneu de l'audition il ainsi Phrals, Phena et bitti Chavvies.asseyez-vous et appréciez :-)

Il y a plusieurs versions de cette histoire.mais c'est celui que j'aime mieux :-)

Pendant un jour il y a bien longtemps un soldat romain a rendu visite à un Smith gitan pour commander 12 grands ongles. Le bohémien a commencé le travail sur les ongles mais il n'a eu aucun idear qu'elles devaient être employées pour clouer Jésus et les deux voleurs aux croix

La nuit avant la crucifixion, une petite fille gitane a dormi dans un camp tout près, elle a eu le cadeau de la vue, dans une vision elle a vu que le Smith gitan avait été dupé, et la raison pour laquelle les ongles ont été prévus.

La petite fille a rampé de son lit, et utilisé son cadeau pour trouver l'endroit où les ongles étendent l'attente, elle était très petite et les ongles étaient sur une haute étagère, la petite fille tendue pour atteindre les ongles. Juste comme elle ils étaient presque dedans extension elle a entendu une garde romaine approcher la salle, elle est parvenue à saisir juste trois des ongles que les autres ont claqués au plancher, elle avait été vue.mais elle est parvenue à s'échapper avec les trois ongles.

Ceci pourquoi Jésus et les deux voleurs ont été crucifiés avec juste trois ongles chacun…un ongle pour chaque main.et un ongle simple pour fixer les pieds

Les bohémiens ont dû se sauver parce que les soldats romains étaient aboyt très fâché la petite fille volant les ongles.Dieu le père l'a vu tout.et souri vers le bas sur les personnes gitanes.et comme la petite fille avait employé son cadeau.et volé.afin d'essayer de sauver son fils aimé.Dieu accordé sur les personnes gitanes pour tout chronomètrent la droite de voler…mais si cette droite étaient acceptées alors le cadeau de la vue pourrait ne jamais être employé pour voir l'un pour l'autre….ceci emploie le cadeau pour voir l'un pour l'autre est un tabou pour les personnes gitanes.

Après que la crucifixion une foule de lyncher ait été formée pour chasser en bas des bohémiens.mais les bohémiens ont échappé

à l'histoire va cela depuis.le "gadje " (les personnes non gitanes) ont été chasse pour les bohémiens.et c'est une autre raison pour laquelle les bohémiens sont des vagabonds
selon l'histoire.il est seulement quand on trouve les ongles que le persection des bohémiens finira.

Svp rouleau à l'extrémité.pour lire une poésie par le poèt Spatzo de Sinti (bohémien allemand) cette poésie est signalée en anglais, Français et original

Spatzo (Vittorio Mayer Pasquale)

In the language of the Estrekarja Sinti, spatzo means "baby bird" or "sparrow", a nickname that recalls the sense of liberty often celebrated by this poet who along his life has experienced very bitter periods of suffering. Through his poetry, in opposition to the adversity of his fate, Spatzo shows us that he knew how to keep intact the Romani love of things simple and immediate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dans la langue de l'Estrekarja Sinti, le spatzo signifie le « oiseau de bébé » ou le « moineau », un surnom qui rappelle le sens de la liberté a souvent célébré par ce poèt qui le long de sa vie a éprouvé des périodes très amères de la souffrance. Par sa poésie, en opposition à l'adversité de son destin, Spatzo nous prouve qu'il a su maintenir intact l'amour de Romani des choses simple et immédiat.

The Four Nails

( a slightly different version of the Stroy in this poem )

The legend says:

Four nails were forged

to make the Redeemer die.

They were seen by a daughter of the wind

who passed across the hill in her travels

through the streets of the world.

Just one she took away,

so the soldier didn't notice.

And thus He was crucifiedwith three nails only.

The fourth nail joined the suffering of the Sinti to the Redeemer.
The legend says.

Les quatre ongles

(une version légèrement différente de l'histoire.dit en cette poésie)

La légende indique :Quatre ongles ont été forgés pour inciter le rédempteur à mourir.
Ils ont été vus par une fille du vent qui a passé à travers la colline dans elle des voyages par les rues du monde.

Juste un qu'elle a emporté,ainsi le soldat n'a pas noté.
Et il a été crucifié ainsi avec trois ongles seulement.
Le quatrième ongle a joint la douleur du Sinti au rédempteur.
La légende indique.

U star nágli

Penéla u parmísso:

Star nágli hísle peráit

Fir ti kerén ti merél i Retáres.

Jek vintákri ciáj dikjás,

Unt Jov viás kiáke nágaldo

.Mit trin nágli ap u kráizo.
U stárto náglo ciás i sinténgro gi mit i láida fon u Retári.
Penéla u parmísso

House of Lords hears child’s poignant Gypsy poem asking for ‘racism to be dead’

A poignant poem written by a 10-year-old Traveller describing the persecution of Gypsies throughout history – and today – was read out at the House of Lords this week.
Lord Avebury, MP Julie Morgan and Councillor Richard Bennett of the Local Government Authority were among those listening to the poem at an event celebrating the voluntary work of Gypsies and Travellers, as part of the Year of the Volunteer.
Bridie Jones, a Traveller based in Canterbury, read out the poem, written by her grandson Blue, saying: “A lot of Gypsy and Traveller children are angry because they don’t realise why they are treated differently, even though they are wearing the same school uniform as other children.”

The poem begins with Travellers almost being wiped out by Hitler, confronts local councils and police who ‘put them through hell’, and ends in the future when Tony Robinson’s great grandson discovers a gold ear-ring, and realises that Gypsies have survived.

But people hated them, from far and near;

‘Don’t worry’ said one man, ‘I am here‘

I will build gas chambers so high in the sky,

Where thousands of them will surely die

I rid this world of man, woman and child,

Not one of this race will be left behind.’

But God was good, he saved a few,

And sent them out to spread a seed or two

In no time at all, the world was full,

With beautiful Gypsies tall and small

Their laughter and music was heard all over the land

This upset people, so began

their new plan

To get rid of travellers and Gypsies too

‘Let’s call up the council to see what they can do!’

Bridie, who volunteers in local schools, said the poem had been written because she encourages children to channel their anger into being creative. The poem ends:

“The moral of this poem, as you have read,

Is Gypsies will survive, and racism will be dead.”

Gypsies and Travellers who volunteer in health, education and with the police were presented with awards for their work by Lord Avebury, Secretary of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Traveller Law Reform.
Lord Avebury said that the positive message of the event, part of Citizenship and Community Month for the Year of the Volunteer, was a reply to the ‘steady drip, drip of racist media coverage’ against Gypsies and Travellers.

“There is a false stereotype of Gypsies and Travellers as rural invaders or outlaws, but we see today that they are active for the benefit of other people. I hope that the wider community will hear about this and perhaps acknowledge that there are positive aspects to Gypsy and Traveller life – which would be even greater if they were free from prejudice.”

Joe Jones, Blue’s grandfather, who volunteers to improve Traveller education, said: “We’re not like people think we are, because people haven’t got close enough to see what we are really like. So we’re just asking people to come up and shake our hand, perhaps have a cup of tea with us, and they’ll find out what we’re really like.”

Councillor Richard Bennett, Chairman of the LGA Gypsy and Traveller Task Group, said:
“Today’s event is not about what people are doing for themselves, but what you are doing for other people, and the world needs to know about it.

“We are going to make sure that the Gypsies and Travellers are treated in the same way as the settled community. I would like to think that a line has been drawn in the sand between the past and the future. I don’t want to look back at how it was – I know how it was and I don’t like it. We are all travelling together and only when we can do that with mutual respect can we call ourselves a civilised community.”

Andrew Ryder, policy worker for the Gypsy and Traveller Law Reform Coalition, organisers of the event, said that it was extremely important that the LGA were aware of the voluntary work of Gypsies and Travellers.

“It was good for Richard to hear about the great work that Gypsies and Travellers do, and how they want to be part of the community, because I’m sure that will increase his resolve. After all the attacks on travellers earlier this year, I think a consensus is now being formed across the parties to want to address a lot of problematic issues, so I welcome that very much.”

Andrew added: “Many Travellers are facing eviction, some are living on the side of the road, but they still find time to try and make the world a better place for others. I think that’s quite exceptional. I think it will surprise some people that so many Travellers volunteer, but I hope it will change their perceptions of the community when they find out.”
The Year of the Volunteer is backed by the Home Office and led by CSV and the Volunteering England Consortium.

Notes for editors
1 Another excerpt from the poem:

So in a few years they will be no more,

Gypsies selling heather at your door

We’ll keep those Gypsies away from good people like you

The law is with us, there’s nothing they can do.

So don’t worry dear Madam, all is well!

If you see any Gypsies, please ring me and tell.

I’ll send out the council and bailiffs as well,

To move them on, to where I can’t tell

Then all their land will belong to you and me,

To build houses as far as the eye can see.

The Siege of Tamworth -Hitlers Final Solution 2006 ???? ~~Le siège de la solution finale 2006 de Tamworth - de Hitlers ? ? ? ?

On a warm late summers evening on Thursday 21st September 2006, the peace and quiet at the end of the day was shattered by the screams of women and young children as a blood thirsty mob of 50 attacked a Travellors site in Tamworth , in Staffordshire UK.

After fuelling themselves with alcohol at a near by pub the mob decided that they would remove the unauthorised encampment from their turf and proceeded to the site armed with iron bars, baseball bats and other weapons.

Cars were deliberately driven into caravans including one where an 8 month old baby was hurled to the floor by the impact. Women and children fled half naked in fear for their lives while the mob continued to wreak havoc on the site.Gas pipes were torn apart and caravans deliberately blown up.

The Gypsies had moved onto the site 6 days earlier, a piece of wasteland by the side of a sports stadium. Only hours before the attack they had been served with eviction notices, but some of the residents of Tamworth felt this was not good enough or quick enough and decided to take matters into their own hands

Frantic phone calls were made to the Police as people fled in panic, but it is claimed that it took over 40 minutes for the police to arrive in which time the camp was virtually razed to the ground.

The Police then arrested 12 people at the scene - 9 of whom were Travellors !!!!!!!. Women and children were also taken into custody to various Police stations, although not charged with any offences the Police later claimed " it for their own protection"

How is it that a group of people are targeted by a "hate mob" of 50+ and yet only 3 of the perpetrators are arrested. The other 75% arrested are the innocent victims themselves?

This was nothing short of a racist hate crime, with chilling echoes of the systematic decimation of the Gypsy population in Europe during the Nazi's reign in the 2nd World War.

Who could believe that such savagery and hatred could be witnessed in the 21st century here in UK?
And yet once again those in Power appear to have turned a blind eye and allowed such violence to occur.

There has been outrage expressed all over the Country and it is understood that an official complaint to the IPCC has been ignored. The Commission for Racial Equality are also investigating the matter.

This has to be one of the worst racially motivated crimes in Britain in recent times, and yet there was little or no coverage in the national press. What coverage there was focused on a member of the angry mob, a local man Gary Hale, who was run over by his own armed gang and had to be airlifted to hospital with head leg and chest injuries.

Where is the public outrage ? where is the national coverage of press and media? Our Media is preoccupied with hysterical and unfounded ranting about the wearing of the Muslim veil, creating a frenzy of uproar and debate in every public medium, even the House of Commons. And all the while a group of innocent people are brutally attacked and their homes wrecked simply because of race....and barely a murmur is heard.

We are supposed to have some of the most powerful race hate laws in the world, and yet there is one group that are constantly discriminated against without fear of prosecution. Once again the Gypsy people are 2 fair game". Britain should hang it's head in shame.

This incident once again highlights the failure of the Government and it's local authorities to provide sufficient sites around the country for the travelling & Gypsy population

If enough sites were made available by local authorities, as the Government continually promises it will promote and enforce..then, the problem of "unauthorised" encampments would not exist

When will the fear and hatred of our people cease. Britain is a multi-cultural society!
We Welcome all colours, creeds and religions....but if your a Gypsy ot Travellor ...

...... Forget it ....


Des fins d'été chaudes égalisant le jeudi 21 septembre 2006, la paix et la tranquillité à la fin du jour ont été brisées par les cris perçants des femmes et les enfants en bas âge en tant que foule altérée de sang de 50 ont attaqué un emplacement gitan dans Tamworth, dans Staffordshire UK.

Après remplissage avec de l'alcool à un proche par la publication la foule a décidé qu'ils enlèveraient le campement non autorisé de leur gazon et procédé à l'emplacement armé avec des barres de fer, battes de base-ball et d'autres armes

Des voitures ont été délibérément conduites dans des caravanes comprenant une où un bébé âgé de 8 mois a été lancé au plancher par l'impact. Les femmes et les enfants se sont sauvés à moitié nu dans la crainte pendant leurs vies tandis que la foule continuait à limiter les dégats sur l'emplacement.Des pipes de gaz ont été déchirées et des caravanes délibérément ont été faites sauter.

Les bohémiens avaient passé à l'emplacement pendant 6 jours plus tôt, un morceau de terre en friche par le côté d'un stade de sports. Seulement heures avant que l'attaque ils ait été servie avec des notices d'expulsion, mais certains des résidants de Tamworth se sont sentis que ce n'était pas bon assez ou assez vite et décidé de prendre des sujets dans leurs propres mains
Des appels effrénés de téléphone ont été faits à la police pendant que les gens se sauvaient dans la panique, mais on le réclame qu'il a assuré 40 minutes pour que la police arrive dans quelle heure le camp a été pratiquement rasée à la terre.

La police a alors arrêté 12 personnes à la scène - 9 de qui étaient des bohémiens ! ! ! ! ! ! !. Les femmes et les enfants ont été également portés dans la garde à de divers commissariats de police, bien que non chargé de toutes les offenses la police plus tard l'a réclamé "pour leur propre protection "
Comment se fait il qu'un groupe de personnes sont visés par une "foule de haine" de 50+ mais seulement 3 des malfaiteurs sont arrêtés. Les autres 75% arrêtés sont les victimes innocentes elles-mêmes ?Ce n'était rien sous peu d'un crime raciste de haine, avec des échos de refroidissement de la décimation systématique de la population gitane en Europe pendant le règne du nazi dans la deuxième guerre mondiale.

Qui pourrait croire qu'une telle sauvagerie et haine pourraient être étées témoin dans les vingt firstcentury ici au UK ?Mais de nouveau ceux dans la puissance semblent avoir tourné un oeil aveugle et avoir permis à une telle violence de se produire.Il y a eu outrage exprimé partout le pays et on le comprend qu'une plainte officielle à l'IPCC a été ignorée. La Commission pour l'égalité raciale étudient également la matière.

Ceci doit être l'un des plus mauvais crimes racial motivés en Grande-Bretagne ces derniers temps, mais il y avait peu ou pas d'assurance dans la pression nationale. Quelle assurance là a été concentrée sur un membre de la foule fâchée, un homme local Gary Hale, qui a été couru plus de par sa propre troupe armée et a dû être transporté par avion à l'hôpital avec les dommages principaux de jambe et de coffre.

Où est le public outrage ? où est l'assurance nationale de pression et de médias ? Nos médias est préoccupés avec ranting hysterique et non fondé au sujet du port du voile musulman, créant une frénésie de tumulte et de discussion dans chaque milieu public, même la Chambre des Communes. Et tout moment par groupe de personnes innocentes sont brutalement attaqués et leurs maisons sont détruites simplement en raison de la course….et à peine un murmure est entendu

Nous sommes censés avoir certaines des lois de haine de course les plus puissantes dans le monde, mais il y a un groupe qui sont constamment distingués contre sans la crainte de la poursuite. De nouveau les personnes gitanes sont " jeu juste ". La Grande-Bretagne devrait l'accrocher est principale dans la honte.Cet incident accentue de nouveau l'échec du gouvernement et c'est des autorités locales pour fournir les emplacements suffisants dans le pays pour la population gitane de déplacement
Si assez d'emplacements étaient rendus disponibles par des autorités locales, comme de gouvernement les promesses continuellement qu'il favorisera et imposera.puis, le problème des campements " non autorisés " n'existerait pas quand la crainte et la haine de nos personnes cesseront. La Grande-Bretagne est une société multiculturelle !Nous faisons bon accueil à toutes les couleurs, foi et religions….mais si votre un gitan…

...... Oubliez-le….

A Gypsy Boy

This poignant Poem was written by Simon Deacon, who is currently serving a sentance at Her Majesty's Prison Leicester....he would like it dedicated to Charlene. A Gypsy Boy

A Gypsy boy came home one day,

To find his true love had gone away,

When he asked the reason why...

This is what she did reply...

"because you chose a life of crime...

Gypsy boy ..do your time..

If you had chose and honest life

I would have gladly been your wife "

In Jail they found him dead,

and in his cell ..a note that read...

"Dig my grave and dig it deep,

Place red roses at my feet

Upon my chest a turtle Dove..

to show the world I died for love"

So all you Gypsy girls bare in mind,

A good Gypsy boy maybe hard to find,

So, when you you find one

Love him true,

Because, this Gypsy boy

Would die for you
