Download or read book Juan Soldado written by Paul J Vanderwood and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul J. Vanderwood offers a fascinating look at the events, beliefs, and circumstances that have motivated popular devotion to Juan Soldado, a Mexican folk saint. In his mortal incarnation, Juan Soldado was Juan Castillo Morales, a twenty-four-year-old soldier convicted of and quickly executed for the rape and murder of eight-year-old Olga Camacho in Tijuana in 1938. Immediately after Morales’s death, many people began to doubt the evidence of his guilt, or at least the justice of his brutal execution. People reported seeing blood seeping from his grave and hearing his soul cry out protesting his innocence. Soon the “martyred” Morales was known as Juan Soldado, or John the Soldier. Believing that those who have died unjustly sit closest to God, people began visiting Morales’s grave asking for favors. Within months of his death, the young soldier had become a popular saint. He is not recognized by the Catholic Church, yet thousands of people have made pilgrimages to his gravesite. While Juan Soldado is well known in Tijuana, southern California’s Mexican American community, and beyond, this book is the first to situate his story within a broader exploration of how and why popular canonizations such as his take root and flourish. In addition to conducting extensive archival research, Vanderwood interviewed central actors in the events of 1938, including Olga Camacho’s mother, citizens who rioted to demand Morales’s release to a lynch mob, those who witnessed his execution, and some of the earliest believers in his miraculous powers. Vanderwood also interviewed many present-day visitors to the shrine at Morales’s grave. He describes them, their petitions—for favors such as health, a good marriage, or safe passage into the United States—and how they reconcile their belief in Juan Soldado with their Catholicism. Vanderwood puts the events of 1938 within the context of Depression-era Tijuana and he locates people’s devotion, then and now, within the history of extra-institutional religious activity. In Juan Soldado, a gripping true-crime mystery opens up into a much larger and more elusive mystery of faith and belief.

Download or read book Stratabound Ore Deposits in the Andes written by Lluis Fontbote and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume Stratabound Ore Deposits in the Andes has its roots in an international seminar on stratabound ore deposits which took place in September 1986 in Cusco, Peru, sponsored by Multi ciencias (Peru) and UNESCO. During this seminar it became clear that the amount and quality of research done on stratabound ore deposits in the Andes required a synthesis. Researchers in industry and government as well as in academia, including many which had participated at the Cusco Seminar, were invited to contribute. The answer was extremely positive, confirming the idea that a book expressing the state of the art of the study of stratabound ore deposits in the Andes was long overdue. As editors we sought to give maximum coverage to the present knowledge, yet keeping the length, and thereby the price, within rea sonable limits. The book contains three types of contributions. In the first part the reader will find review papers focusing on ( 1) the geologic framework (Frutos), (2) the metallogenesis in Andean countries including also types of deposits differing from those of stratabound nature (Cardozo and Cedillo, Oyarzun), and (3) an in troductory overview of the stratabound ore deposits in the Andes, emphasizing their geotectonic position as a classification tool (Font bote).

Download or read book Rising Above The Noise written by Jonathan Lopez and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adjust your crown and rise above the noise of life. In a world filled with distractions and chaos, it is crucial that you maintain your stand and remain levelheaded. Just like a crown sits gracefully on your head, it symbolizes your inner strength, resilience, and God’s calling; we were created with a purpose, we are called to be limitless, the only limitation is created by you. In the middle of the noise and chaos, it is easy to lose sight of your true worth and potential. The noise can be overwhelming, drowning out your own voice and causing you to doubt yourself. But remember, you are the ruler of your own destiny, and it is within your power to rise above it all. That power was given to you by God! Adjusting your crown signifies a conscious decision to take control of your life. It is a reminder to hold your head high and embrace the Queen or King that you truly are. It is not about arrogance or superiority, but rather an acknowledgment of your self-worth and the importance of self-care; being confident. As you adjust your crown, you let go of the negativity and doubts that may have held you back, placing your trust in God. You release the opinions and judgments of others, understanding that their noise does not define you. Instead, you focus on your own journey, your own dreams, aspirations, and the Godly purpose given to you before birth.
