Download or read book ÁSanto! written by Edwin David Aponte and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overview of Latino/a spiritualities today--Protestant, Catholic, Pentecostal, and non-Christian and the challenges they bring to Christian theology and ministry. Given the context of increasing religious pluralism and a burgeoning interest in religions, religiosity, and spirituality within the United States and the knowledge that by the mid-twenty-first century an estimated 100 million Americans will claim Latin origin, an understanding of the varieties of Latino/a spirituality becomes essential. This book focuses on the ways in which Latinos and Latinas participate in the pursuit and practice of the spiritual or "holy" santo as part of their lived religion. In seven chapters, Aponte explores various understandings of santo and its participation in daily life, rites of passage, and worship.
Book Synopsis The Healing Power of the Santuario de Chimayó by : Brett Hendrickson
Download or read book The Healing Power of the Santuario de Chimayó written by Brett Hendrickson and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2018 Paul J. Foik Award for Best Book on Catholic History in the American Southwest, presented by the Texas Catholic Historical Society The remarkable history of the Santuario de Chimayó, the church whose world-renowned healing powers have drawn visitors to its steps for centuries. Nestled in a valley at the feet of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico, the Santuario de Chimayó has been called the most important Catholic pilgrimage site in America. To experience the Santuario’s miraculous healing dirt, pilgrims and visitors first walk into the cool, adobe church, proceeding up an aisle to the altar with its magnificent crucifix. They then turn left to enter a low-slung room filled with cast-off crutches, a statue of the Santo Niño de Atocha, and photos of thousands of people who have been prayed for in the exact spot they are standing. An adjacent room, stark by contrast, contains little but a hole in the floor, known as the pocito. From this well in the earth, the Santuario’s half a million annual visitors gather handfuls of holy dirt, celebrated for two hundred years for its purported healing properties. The book tells the fascinating stories of the Pueblo and Nuevomexicano Catholic origins of the site and the building of the church, the eventual transfer of the property to the Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe, and the modern pilgrimage of believers alongside thousands of tourists. Drawing on extensive archival research as well as fieldwork in Chimayó, Brett Hendrickson examines the claims that various constituencies have made on the Santuario, its stories, dirt, ritual life, commercial value, and aesthetic character. The importance of the story of the Santuario de Chimayó goes well beyond its sacred dirt, to illuminate the role of Southwestern Hispanics and Catholics in American religious history and identity. The healing powers and marvel of the Santuario shine through the pages of Hendrickson’s book, allowing readers of all kinds to feel like they have stepped inside an institution in American and religious history.

Book Synopsis Miraculous Images and Votive Offerings in Mexico by : Frank Graziano
Download or read book Miraculous Images and Votive Offerings in Mexico written by Frank Graziano and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican statues and paintings like the Virgen de Guadalupe and the Se or de Chalma are endowed with sacred presence and the power to perform miracles. Millions of devotees visit their shrines to request miracles for health, employment, children, and countless everyday matters. When miracles are granted, devotees reciprocate with votive offerings. Collages, photographs, documents, texts, milagritos, hair and braids, clothing, retablos, and various representative objects cover walls at many shrines. Miraculous Images and Votive Offerings in Mexico explores such petitionary devotion in depth through extensive fieldwork supported by research in a vast body of interdisciplinary scholarship. The study's principal themes include sacred power and human agency, reification, projective animation, faith as a cognitive filter, sacred power transfer, social and narrative construction, positive framing, collaborative and deferred control, vows (juramentos), and miracle attribution. The book is written in two alternating voices, one interpretive to provide an understanding of miracles, miraculous images, and votive offerings, and the other narrative to illustrate the interpretive chapters and to bring the reader closer to experiences at the shrines. Among the many miraculous images treated in the book are the Cristo Negro de Otatitl n, Ni o del Cacahuatito, Se or de Chalma, Se or de la Misericordia (Tepatitl n), Se or del Rayo, Se or de las Tres Ca das (Teotilalpam), Virgen de los Dolores de Soriano, Virgen de Guadalupe, Virgen del Pueblito, Virgen de Juquila, Virgen de los Remedios, Virgen de San Juan de los Lagos, Virgen de Talpa, Virgen de Tonatico, and Virgen de Zapopan.
Book Synopsis Imperio de Kovan by : Daniel Igual Merlo
Download or read book Imperio de Kovan written by Daniel Igual Merlo and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El emperador Mastuh ha muerto y deja un extenso imperio a su hija, Hansa. Esta es tan solo una niña y desde hace más de dos siglos no ha reinado una mujer en el imperio de Kovan. Al producirse la muerte del emperador, su hermano, Jonrrak, regresa de las conquistadas tierras de Cirimeria con la Legión Extranjera y da un golpe de estado en el imperio para derrocar a su sobrina y hacerse con el trono imperial. Un grupo de guardias logra salvar a la princesa y huir de la capital, Ciudad Baluarte. Sin embargo, la lucha se extiende por todo el imperio entre los partidarios de la princesa Hansa y los partidarios de Jonrrak. Las sacerdotisas del imperio, las célebres Korais, únicas capaces de utilizar magia en el imperio, también se posicionan a favor de uno u otro bando. El conflicto por el dominio de Kovan está servido. Es una lucha por el control de territorios y de ideologías. Sin embargo, también desde las fronteras exteriores del imperio acechan enemigos poderosos, dispuestos a destrozar al imperio. Daniel Igual Merlo. Nacido en Móstoles (Madrid) en 1987, es licenciado en Historia y Periodismo. Desde muy temprana edad su afición por la novela fantástica le llevó a escribir relatos de este género. Siempre busca en sus aventuras el nexo entre fantasía épica y el protagonismo colectivo de varios personajes cuyas historias se entrelazan en la trama principal. En ocasiones, sus relatos tienen un paralelismo con acontecimientos históricos. Tras su primera saga “Las aventuras de Alan Braw”, ahora en “Imperio de Kovan” nos muestra una historia épica en la que dos contendientes luchan por alcanzar el poder de un territorio existiendo en ambos bandos personajes inolvidables, tanto hombres como mujeres, que protagonizan toda la trama.

Book Synopsis Sacred Landscapes in Antiquity by : Ralph Haussler
Download or read book Sacred Landscapes in Antiquity written by Ralph Haussler and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From generation to generation, people experience their landscapes differently. Humans depend on their natural environment: it shapes their behavior while it is often felt that deities responsible for both natural benefits and natural calamities (such as droughts, famines, floods and landslides) need to be appeased. We presume that, in many societies, lakes, rivers, rocks, mountains, caves and groves were considered sacred. Individual sites and entire landscapes are often associated with divine actions, mythical heroes and etiological myths. Throughout human history, people have also felt the need to monumentalize their sacred landscape. But this is where the similarities end as different societies had very different understandings, believes and practices. The aim of this new thematic appraisal is to scrutinize carefully our evidence and rethink our methodologies in a multi-disciplinary approach. More than 30 papers investigate diverse sacred landscapes from the Iberian peninsula and Britain in the west to China in the east. They discuss how to interpret the intricate web of ciphers and symbols in the landscape and how people might have experienced it. We see the role of performance, ritual, orality, textuality and memory in people’s sacred landscapes. A diachronic view allows us to study how landscapes were ‘rewritten’, adapted and redefined in the course of time to suit new cultural, political and religious understandings, not to mention the impact of urbanism on people’s understandings. A key question is how was the landscape manipulated, transformed and monumentalized – especially the colossal investments in monumental architecture we see in certain socio-historic contexts or the creation of an alternative humanmade, seemingly ‘non-natural’ landscape, with perfectly astronomically aligned buildings that define a cosmological order? Sacred Landscapes therefore aims to analyze the complex links between landscape, ‘religiosity’ and society, developing a dialectic framework that explores sacred landscapes across the ancient world in a dynamic, holistic, contextual and historical perspective.
Book Synopsis Crossing Borders with the Santo Niño de Atocha by : Juan Javier Pescador
Download or read book Crossing Borders with the Santo Niño 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."

Download or read book Archeologia e Calcolatori, 32.1, 2021 written by Angela Bellia and published by All’Insegna del Giglio. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume 32.1 è suddiviso in due parti. La prima comprende gli articoli proposti annualmente alla rivista da studiosi italiani e stranieri che illustrano ricerche archeologiche interdisciplinari in cui l’uso delle tecnologie informatiche risulta determinante per l’acquisizione, l’elaborazione e l’interpretazione dei dati. Tecniche di analisi statistica, banche dati, GIS e analisi spaziali, tecniche di rilievo tridimensionale e ricostruzioni virtuali, sistemi multimediali, contribuiscono a documentare le testimonianze del passato e a diffondere i risultati della ricerca scientifica. La seconda parte del volume contiene un inserto speciale curato da Angela Bellia e dedicato a una tematica innovativa, l’archeomusicologia, un campo di ricerca multidisciplinare che adotta i metodi dell’archeologia per lo studio della musica e della vita musicale nel mondo antico. Gli articoli s’incentrano sul ruolo delle tecnologie digitali basate sulla modellazione 3D e sulla simulazione del suono per ampliare le conoscenze sugli strumenti musicali dell’antichità e sul prezioso, ma estremamente labile, patrimonio sonoro. Chiude il volume la sezione dedicata alle Note e recensioni.
Book Synopsis A N G E L- L O G I a by : Abel Serrano
Download or read book A N G E L- L O G I a written by Abel Serrano and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tal vez algunos lectores se preguntarán porque se me ocurrió producir un libro de los ángeles, para contestar su curiosidad le diré que en una noche de viernes cuando caminé, en el campo, desde la casa de mi abuela hasta la Iglesia donde me tocaba predicar, como estaba lluvioso no asistió ni un solo miembro. (Iglesia Vertientes, Baracoa Cuba). Yo decidí quedarme en la Iglesia en vigilia y oración y en la madrugada tuve una visión de cuatro ángeles sobre la Iglesia. Su piel era muy rosada y sus vestidos eran como de seda que la brisa lo movía suavemente. Después de esa experiencia los hermanos por si solo se hicieron la decisión de no faltar a los cultos, parece que lo siguen cumpliendo, porque después de 28 años de ausencia yo le volví a visitar y el mismo día, sin anuncio, ni aviso la Iglesia estaba llena, gracias a DIOS, todo sea para su honra y su gloria y era domingo en la tarde. Lo segundo y último porque produje este material es que he examinado en varios países algunas producciones sobre los ángeles y la mayoría no se ajustan a la Palabra de Dios. Puedo garantizar que este es el documento más extenso que se ha producido sobre este tema, pues es el producto de 52 años Bíblicos y especialmente un año sacando todo lo que la Biblia dice de los ángeles y sus relacionados. Yo le digo a los hermanos que los ángeles quisieran estar en el cielo, pero como tienen que estar con nosotros, por lo menos se sienten mejor cuando nos acompañan a los servicios religiosos, donde se canta, se ora, se estudia la Palabra, se adora, se alaba y se honra al Dios verdadero, nuestro Creador. Amen
