Mexicans and their rites
Introduction
Something that characterizes and distinguishes a Mexican is undoubtedly his nationalism, his obsessions and rites to which he faithfully attaches. Carlos Monsiváis describes in a very accurate way these traditions in his work The rituals of chaos. According to the Chronicle of Monsiváis, the people living in Mexico City, create a great mass, to such a degree that it becomes chaos, all this is added the great festivities in which the citizen faithfully participates as participates asIt is the celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe on December twelve, the celebrations in the Angel of Independence, the participation in musical concerts, and also the agglomeration in search of Santería.
Developing
In Mexico, the month of December means party, starting with the traditional celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe, to the person who never attends Mass on Sundays feels infected by such an important celebration, the population meets to cry and beg the Virgin whoForgive their sins, others crawl giving thanks for some miracle. The agglomeration begins from days before the celebration and thousands of people leave without knowing where, and many more who visit the city as this New York was needed one more soul. I have always thought that most people not to say in their entirety are very humble people.
I even dare to say that somewhat ignorant, that they sacrifice how little they have for beans to be able to attend the basilica in search of a miracle. Look at your people. If you do not intervene, who is going to do it? Hoyo Sácanos. Historically, Guadalupanismo, heritage of roots and continuity, is the most fierce form of nationalism, fanaticism that is also a body testimony of roots in the first learning. Blind faith: power within the importance of believers who are Mexican, from Mexicans who are also believers. – I promised the Virgin that if I get money and march the next year, my first child was called Guadalupe, whether female or male.
The Mexicans are partying for whatever, and we distinguish ourselves by our nationalism, for that reason the meeting in the Angel of Independence has already been taken as a symbolic act to celebrate the triumph of a football match or a fight won by ourNational. I think the angel of independence could even compare in importance with the Eiffel Tower of Paris, with the difference that is not charged here to go to this monument. Apparently to go to the angel to celebrate is already a tradition, a download of emotions, in which the citizen feels free, he feels with power, there are no traumas or poverty that limits it by being there. ‘It’s hours when the country enters us through our eyes and ears and we get out of our throat’.
All these religious and nationalist traditions that characterize a Mexican could not come alone, there is a great connection with the sublime, with sorcery, everything is connected, you just have to see the news when the World Cup is, people asking the child Fidencio, to the Virgin of Guadalupe for the triumph of the Mexican National Team, there are even the most daring those who wear the child God with the uniform of a player, we see shamans in the streets making spells so that the opposite loses, we listen to predictions and promises ofThe "sorcerers" who have failed them for many years, because Mexican team has not been able to win a World Cup.
Do you realize how the middle classes are quickly manipulated? This is going to be an absolute riot. Apparently everyone wants to have both candles lit. It is no longer known where more people go if the basilica to celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe or Catemaco, to enrich more to a sorcerer, according to Monsiváis, there are even special trips by bus to transport so many people, I remember that as a child we livedIn the city of Tampico, a city that connects to Veracruz through a bridge, because my mother was prohibited and jury that we never cross that bridge, told us that there they gathered sorcerers from all over the country.
conclusion
Finally, I believe that there is both evil and good, but the charlatans are more devil than the devil because they wrap so many people and taking advantage of their ignorance take away everything they can. Monsiváis reflects it on more than one occasion in his book, "they estimate that the major sorcerer will take half a million pesos this year". In his book, you monsivá in a very accurate way describes the power that two beliefs that manipulate and exploit a whole nation, on one side the Church and in the other the witchcraft. The houses of Mr. Aguirre and the Bishop are the most luxurious
