Canteiros / Quarrymen / Masons
Os canteiros foron
os artífices do noso rico patrimonio monumental. Casas, igrexas, cruceiros,
petos de ánimas, son boa mostra do seu saber artístico. Traballan a pedra
para a construción, preparan cachotes, perpiaños e cantería de granito.
Moito máis doado é o traballo da lousa, que só cómpre retocar co pico
e a maceta.
No seu traballo chegaron moi lonxe da terra de orixe, e así xorde a necesidade de crearen vínculos de confraternidade, que se manifestan no verbo dos arxinas, a fala coa que se comunican entre si.
Masons were the architects of our rich heritage. Homes, churches, stone crosses and other religious elements are proof of their artistic knowledge. They work stone for construction, preparing all types of pieces . Much easier is working slabs, as it is only necessary to alter them slightly using the appropriate tools.
Due to their work they travelled far from their homeland, and so the need to create links of brotherhood arises, thus the creation of the 'arxina' a speech they used to communicate with one another.
