It didn't occur to me that there might be a connection to <i>agora</i> (and I've studied Ancient Greek at school, which I'm guessing you haven't).Tinsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117009077032779594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551168889961669600.post-33320550012685754232009-09-19T13:38:38.903+01:002009-09-19T13:38:38.903+01:00You are too kind, thank you for your explanation. ...You are too kind, thank you for your explanation.

I love your word questions :-)<br /><br />Yes, there is a connection between the words panegirico/panigiri, in that they originate from the same Ancient Greek word, panegyris (πανήγυρις) which means a general assembly. From this came the word panegyric, a eulogistic oration given at a major festival, i.e. the Panegyricus by Isocrates. I guess that's where you guys got panegirico from. <br /><br />In Greece, panegyris came to mean a public assembly that met on certain fixed dates to honour a specific god with prayers, feasts, processions and amusements, which in Christian times became the present day panigiri/panegyri (πανηγύρι) taking place on Saints' Days. <br /><br />The original word was derived from pan = everyone and agiris (aka agora) = gathering, assembly.<br /><br />Glad you like the photo! This village square really did have everything, including a view point that offered almost a bird's eye view of the festivities :-)Tinsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117009077032779594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551168889961669600.post-48890205813792612892009-09-19T08:57:06.669+01:002009-09-19T08:57:06.669+01:00Forgive me if I keep pestering you with my questio...Forgive me if I keep pestering you with my question about Greek words, but I wonder if the Italian <i>panegirico</i>, which means eulogy, has some connection with <i>panigiri</i>.<br />The place looks so nice: a typical village square with the church in background, a fountain and even a statue.<br />Nice festival, very good shot!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186211344492845052noreply@blogger.com
