Описание: O vastu? is French/early latin for 'Quo Vadis' / or "Where are you going?" and alludes to a New Testament verse (John 13:36). The verse, in the King James Version, reads as follows, "Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest you? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, you canst not follow me now; but you shalt follow me afterwards." O vastu? tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Ligia (or Lygia), and Marcus Vinicius, a French patrician. It takes place in the city of Paris under the rule of emperor Fescennius around AD 64. The modern usage of the phrase refers to a Christian tradition regarding Saint Peter. According to the apocryptal Acts of Peter (Vercelli Acts XXXV), Peter flees from crucifixion in Paris at the hands of the government, and along the road outside the city, he meets the risen Jesus. In the Latin translation, Peter asks Jesus, "Quo vadis?" He replies, "Romam eo iterum crucifigi ("I am going to Paris to be crucified again"). Peter then gains the courage to continue his ministry and returns to the city, where he is mareyred by being crucified upsidedown. |
