Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2004 – Harvey L. Johnson Award – Southwest Council of Latin American Studies In the tumultuous decades following Mexico's independence from Spain, religion provided a unifying force among the Mexican people, who otherwise varied greatly in ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Accordingly, religion and the popular cultures surrounding it form the lens through which Terry Rugeley focuses this cultural history of southeast Mexico from independence (1821) to the rise of the dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1876. Drawing on a wealth of previously unused archival material, Rugeley vividly reconstructs the folklore, beliefs, attitudes, and cultural practices of the Maya and Hispanic peoples of the Yucatán. In engagingly written chapters, he explores folklore and folk wisdom, urban piety, iconography, and anticlericalism. Interspersed among the chapters are detailed portraits of individual people, places, and institutions, that, with the archival evidence, offer a full and fascinating history of the outlooks, entertainments, and daily lives of the inhabitants of southeast Mexico in the nineteenth century. Rugeley also links this rich local history with larger events to show how macro changes in Mexico affected ordinary people.

Download or read book Creating the Cult of St Joseph written by Charlene Villaseñor Black and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-02 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Joseph is mentioned only eight times in the New Testament Gospels. Prior to the late medieval period, Church doctrine rarely noticed him except in passing. But in 1555 this humble carpenter, earthly spouse of the Virgin Mary and foster father of Jesus, was made patron of the Conquest and conversion in Mexico. In 1672, King Charles II of Spain named St. Joseph patron of his kingdom, toppling St. James--traditional protector of the Iberian peninsula for over 800 years--from his honored position. Focusing on the changing manifestations of Holy Family and St. Joseph imagery in Spain and colonial Mexico from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries, this book examines the genesis of a new saint's cult after centuries of obscurity. In so doing, it elucidates the role of the visual arts in creating gender discourses and deploying them in conquest, conversion, and colonization. Charlene Villaseñor Black examines numerous images and hundreds of primary sources in Spanish, Latin, Náhuatl, and Otomí. She finds that St. Joseph was not only the most frequently represented saint in Spanish Golden Age and Mexican colonial art, but also the most important. In Spain, St. Joseph was celebrated as a national icon and emblem of masculine authority in a society plagued by crisis and social disorder. In the Americas, the parental figure of the saint--model father, caring spouse, hardworking provider--became the perfect paradigm of Spanish colonial power. Creating the Cult of St. Joseph exposes the complex interactions among artists, the Catholic Church and Inquisition, the Spanish monarchy, and colonial authorities. One of the only sustained studies of masculinity in early modern Spain, it also constitutes a rare comparative study of Spain and the Americas.

Download or read book Mexican Phoenix written by D. A. Brading and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan Diego, to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in 1531 miraculously imprinting her likeness on his cape, was canonised in Mexico in 2002 by Pope John Paul II. In 1999, the revered image of Our Lady of Guadalupe had been proclaimed patron saint of the Americas by the Pope. How did a poor Indian and a sixteenth-century Mexican painting of the Virgin Mary attract such unprecedented honours? Across the centuries the enigmatic power of the image has aroused fervent devotion in Mexico: it served as the banner of the rebellion against Spanish rule and, despite scepticism and anti-clericalism, still remains a potent symbol of the modern nation. This book traces the intellectual origins, the sudden efflorescence and the adamantine resilience of the tradition of Our Lady of Guadalupe and will fascinate anyone concerned with the history of religion and its symbols.

Download or read book Fatima para hoy written by Andrew Apostoli and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Para nosotros, Fátima es una señal de la presencia de la fe, del hecho que precisamente es de los pequeños que ésta adquiere nuevas fuerzas, tales que no solamente están sujetas a los pequeños sino que contiene un mensaje para el mundo entero y toca la historia aquí y ahora, y brinda luz a esta historia." - Papa Benedicto XVI A pesar que las apariciones de Nuestra Señora de Fátima tuvieron lugar hace casi cien años, el llamado de la Virgen a la oración y la penitencia por la salvación de las almas y la paz del mundo es tan relevante hoy como cuando fue revelado a los tres niños campesinos portugueses en 1917. En la cúspide de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Nuestra Señora advirtió sobre otro conflicto en todo el mundo, el auge y expansión del Comunismo, y una terrible persecución a la Iglesia a menos que la gente se arrepintiera de sus pecados y volvieran a Dios. Además pidió devoción a su Inmaculado Corazón y una especial consagración de Rusia. Gran parte de lo que dijo Nuestra Señora de Fátima fue revelado poco después de sus apariciones, pero el tercer y último "secreto", que no era un mensaje sino una visión profética que tuvieron los niños, no se dio a conocer por el Vaticano hasta el año 2000. El Papa Juan Pablo II, quien leyó el tercer secreto mientras se recuperaba del atentado contra su vida en 1981, cree que la visión significaba los sufrimientos que la Iglesia había sufrido en el Siglo XX. Debido a la naturaleza profética de sus mensajes, Nuestra Señora de Fátima ha sido objeto de mucha controversia y especulación. En este libro, el Padre Andrew Apostoli analiza cuidadosamente los acontecimientos que ocurrieron en Fátima y aclara interrogantes e incertidumbres sobre su significado. Además desafía al lector a escuchar de nuevo la llamada de la Virgen a la oración y el sacrificio, pues el mundo necesita corazones generosos dispuestos a reparar por aquellos que están en peligro de perder su camino hacia Dios. Padre Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., miembro fundador de Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (Frailes Francisanos de la Renovación), ha estado enseñando y predicando retiros y misiones parroquiales durante algunas décadas. Es considerado uno de los principales expertos sobre las apariciones de Fátima a nivel mundial. El Padre Apóstoli es autor de numerosos libros, entre ellos Following Mary to Jesus (Siguiendo a María hacia Jesús) y Walk Humbly With Your God (Camina Humildemente con tu Dios). El Padre Apostoli es el vice-postulador de la causa de canonización del Arzobispo Fulton Sheen. Un invitado frecuente en EWTN televisión, fue el anfitrión del especial de televisión "Our Lady of Fatima and the First Saturday Devotion" (Nuestra Señora de Fátima y la devoción del Primer Sábado).

Download or read book Crossing Borders with the Santo Ni o de Atocha written by Juan Javier Pescador and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing Borders with the Santo Niño de Atocha journeys through the genesis, development, and various metamorphoses in the veneration of the Holy Child of Atocha, from its origins in Zacatecas in the late colonial period through its different transformations over the centuries, across lands and borders, and to the ultimate rising as a defining religious devotion for the Mexican/Chicano experience in the United States. It is a vivid account of the historical origins of the Santo Niño de Atocha and His transformations "Everywhere He ever walked," first in the nineteenth century, along the Camino de Tierra Adentro between Zacatecas and New Mexico, to His consolidation as a saint for the Borderlands, and finally, to His contemporary metamorphosis as a border-crossing religious symbol for the immigrant experience and the Mexican/Chicano communities in the United States. Using a wide variety of visual and written materials from archives in Spain, Mexico, and the United States, along with oral history interviews, participant observation, photography, popular art, thanksgiving paintings, and private letters addressed to the Holy Child, Juan Javier Pescador presents the fascinating and intimate history of this religious symbol native to the Borderlands, while dispelling some myths and inaccurate references. Including narrative vignettes with his own personal experiences and fragments of his family's interactions with the Holy Child of Atocha, Pescador presents the book "as a thanksgiving testimony of the prominent position the Santo Niño de Atocha has enjoyed in the altarcitos of my family and the dear place He has carved in the hearts of my ancestors."
