The Val de Dagne is a valley to the south east of Carcassonne in the department of Aude in southwest France. It forms a fiscal area of the Carcassonne arrondissement in Aude. Geography The valley forms roughly a Z shape, the northern part following the line of the D3 immediately to the south of the Alaric Mountains, between Monze and Montlaur, and the southern part extending roughly from the slopes of the Corbières Massif in the west, to the entry of the gorge of the Sou River as it approaches its confluence with the Orbieu west of Lagrasse. However the precise extent of the area known as the Val de Dagne is more vague than this, and villages and hamlets beyond this main valley, particularly across its western watershed towards Limoux, are said to lie in the Val. Approaching from the direction of Carcassonne the northern part of the valley spreads out from Monze, and includes the villages of Pradelles-en-Val and Montlaur.

Oliver De Termes
Olivier de Termes (1200 – 12 August 1274) was a knight from the southern French region of Termes, Aude. He was raised as a Cathar but eventually converted to Catholicism in a move that would help restore peace to his homeland following the ravages of the Albigensian Crusade. Early life Olivier was the son of Raymond de Termes, count of the Termes region of the Carcassonne district, then lying on the border between Languedoc and Catalonia. The region was overwhelmingly Cathar in religion, and Oliver's father was besieged by Simon de Montfort in his castle at Chateau de Termes in 1210. Having survived the fall of the castle, Oliver made his way south with other refugees from the crusade to the court of Aragon, where he befriended the future King James I of Aragon. He was also companions in youth with Raymond II Trencavel of Albi, and Raymond VII of Toulouse. Military career Oliver fought first against the knights who had conquered his country during the crusade against ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Maniple (vestment)
The maniple is a liturgical vestment used primarily within the Catholic Church, and occasionally used by some Anglo-Catholic and Lutheran clergy. It is an embroidered band of silk or similar fabric that is hung over the left arm. It is only used within the context of the Mass, and it is of the same liturgical colour as the other Mass vestments. The purpose of the maniple is uncertain, but it probably originated as a cloth the priest could use to wipe his hands and face. Current use In its 1967 instruction, ''Tres abhinc annos'', issued while the Tridentine Mass was still the only form used in the Roman Rite, the Sacred Congregation of Rites removed the obligation to use the maniple at Mass. Thereafter, the maniple generally fell out of liturgical use. It is still required to be worn by those who, as authorized by Pope Benedict XVI's 2007 ''motu proprio'' ''Summorum Pontificum'', use the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal.

The center of the stole is worn around the back of the neck and the two ends hang down parallel to each other in front, either attached to each other or hanging loose. The stole is almost always decorated in some way, usually with two crosses, or sometimes another significant religious design. It is often decorated with contrasting galloons (ornamental trim) and fringe is usually applied to the ends of the stole following .

Chasuble
The chasuble () is the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy for the celebration of the Eucharist in Western-tradition Christian churches that use full vestments, primarily in Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran churches. In the Eastern Orthodox Churches and in the Eastern Catholic Churches, the equivalent vestment is the phelonion. "The vestment proper to the priest celebrant at Mass and other sacred actions directly connected with Mass is, unless otherwise indicated, the chasuble, worn over the alb and stole" (''General Instruction of the Roman Missal'', 337). Like the stole, it is normally of the liturgical colour of the Mass being celebrated. Origins The chasuble originated as a sort of conical poncho, called in Latin a paenula or casula or "little house", that was the common outer traveling garment in the late Roman Empire. It was simply a roughly oval piece of cloth, with a round hole in the middle through which to pass the head, that fell below the knees on ...
