Mariette: LE FIL ROUGE DE MARIETTE Means: ʺMariette’s Red Threadʺ… But for my future blog I have the title in French, because to me it sounds so nice. It was also in French that our history teacher told us the true story of ʺthe red threadʺ, which passed through the sails of the British sailing vessels on the Oceans. It was woven in a specific way, so that it could be torn out or otherwise removed. Even the smallest piece of fabric was marked by the red thread, which ment that it was the belonging of the king. Today it would be an anti-theft chip. By extension the red thread stands for the events and stepping stones making a person’s course of life.
