Albricias is the gift given to someone who announces good news or to someone who is the protagonist of some transcendent event. When analyzing the etymological root of the term, it can be seen that it derives from the Hispanic Arabic albúšra , which in turn comes from the classical Arabic bušrà .
The most common use of the concept , however, is given as an interjection . It should be remembered that interjections are words that allow the expression of feelings or emotions or that are used to greet or address an interlocutor. In the case of albricias, this interjection conveys joy or happiness .
For example: “Hello! They informed me that my story was chosen as a finalist in the literary contest,” “Are you seriously pregnant? Good news! The news makes me very happy,” “We arrived in town after midnight and, to our delight, we found a restaurant open: we hadn't eaten anything all day.”
Albricias in "El Cantar del Mío Cid"
In one of the most important works of Spanish literature of all time, such as “El Cantar del Mío Cid” (1200), the term that we are now analyzing appears on more than one occasion.
Thus, numerous times we can find manifestations of the protagonist towards his inseparable companion in struggle (the Leonese nobleman Álvar Fáñez ). An example of this is “Albricias, Álvar Fáñez, they are kicking us out of the land!” .
A Spanish politician
Franklin Albricias , on the other hand, was a prominent politician from Spain . Born at the end of the 19th century and died in 1972 , he presided over the Provincial Council of Alicante and served in the Alicante City Council as Deputy Mayor.
He was a really important figure during the Second Spanish Republic . In addition to everything indicated, we cannot ignore that he also became a bishop of the Methodist Church and that he even founded the Albacete Sports Club in 1917 . This team was the first in the city although it later disappeared due to the Spanish Civil War .
Albricia in botany
We cannot ignore that there is a plant species called albricia . This is the plant species best known as the silk tree or Albizia julibrissin . It has its origin in Asia and is considered to have arrived in Spain in the 18th century .
The albricia is a deciduous tree that has flowers that do not have petals but rather a type of pink stamens. A unique feature of these flowers is that they are very rich in nectar and can be found in dark pink or red.
