29th Division (Spain)
The 29th Division was a military formation belonging to the Spanish Republican Army that fought during the Spanish Civil War. Originally created in 1937 from the militarization of the POUM militia column, it was dissolved and recreated again in early 1938, operating on the Extremadura front. History The division was created in April 1937, on the Aragon front, after the militarization of the former militia of the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification ( es, Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista, POUM) - the so-called Lenin Division. The unit, which was under the command of Josep Rovira i Canals, was composed of the 128th and 129th mixed brigades, coming from the former POUM columns. In mid-June, in the context of government repression against the POUM, Rovira was detained by the republican authorities. The command of the unit was assumed by the anarchist Miguel García Vivancos. The 29th Division participated in the Huesca Offensive, although it had a mediocre performance. I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sebastián Zamora Medina
Saint Sebastian (in Latin: ''Sebastianus''; Narbo, Gallia Narbonensis, Roman Empire c. AD 255 – Rome, Italia, Roman Empire c. AD 288) was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to traditional belief, he was killed during the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He was, according to tradition, rescued and healed by Saint Irene of Rome, which became a popular subject in 17th-century painting. In all versions of the story, shortly after his recovery he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result was clubbed to death. He is venerated in the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. The oldest record of the details of Sebastian's martyrdom is found in the ''Chronograph of 354'', which mentions him as a martyr, venerated on January 20. He is also mentioned in a sermon on Psalm 118 by 4th-century bishop Ambrose of Milan (Saint Ambrose): in his sermon, Ambrose sta ...
