Criminal: La Virgin Guadalupe
9:05 am By la Macha · arizona|Arts|Immigration|Women · 2 Comments
7 Jul 2010As we’ve mentioned before here at VL, art is often a very effective way of mobilizing the people, making effective statements that help populations that may not all speak English or may not read, etc, learn what the issues are.
New poster by Ester Hernandez against SB 1070 in Arizona.
The particular work of art reminded me of the Garcia Marquez story, The Very Old Man With Enormous Wings. The very old man was a miracle not only not recognized, but actively mocked. This poster seems to argue that should a miracle present itself in the US, not only would it be not recognized and mocked–but it would be criminalized too.
Because nobody understands a miracle when they see it.
Honoring la Virgin de Guadalupe

Coming by any means at their disposal including by foot and by bike, hundreds of thousands are at the BasÃlica de Guadalupe in Mexico City to celebrate the Virgin of Guadalupe. Today markes the 475th anniversary of the alleged apparition of the Marian image to Juan Diego in 1531. The legend claims that the image apppeared to the Indigenous man in his shawl. The shawl is now in the basilica. Last night, as is traditional , Las Mañanitas was sung.
All over the country, even in places as unlikely as Wisconsin, the faithful are celebrating the dark skinned virgin and Juan Diego, who was made a saint in 2002 by Pope John Paul II.
