2.5: Establishing, Maintaining, and Developing Maritime Empires
Unfortunately the original of his work has not been found. A copy was first published in Nahuatl by Luis
Lasso de la Vega in 1649. Its cover is shown here.
Ten years after the seizure of the city of Mexico, war came to an end and
there was peace amongst the people; in this manner faith started to bud, the
understanding of the true God, for whom we live. At that time, in the year
fifteen hundred and thirty one, in the early days of the month of December, it
happened that there lived a poor Indian, named Juan Diego, said being a
native of Cuautitlan. Of all things spiritually he belonged to Tlatilolco.
How is the documentation of
Juan Diego's interactions with
the Virgen de Guadalupe
illustrate the role of religious
syncretism?
On a Saturday just before dawn, he was on his way to pursue divine worship
and to engage in his own errands. As he reached the base of the hill known as
Tepeyac, came the break of day, and he heard singing atop the hill,
resembling singing of varied beautiful birds.
Occasionally the voices of the songsters would cease, and it appeared as if the
mount responded. The song, very mellow and delightful, excelled that of the
coyoltototl and the tzinizcan and of other pretty singing birds. Juan Diego
stopped to look and said to himself: "By fortune, am I worthy of what I hear?
Maybe I dream? Am I awakening? Where am I? Perhaps I am now in the
terrestrial paradise which our elders had told us about? Perhaps I am now in
heaven?" He was looking toward the east, on top of the mound, from whence
came the precious celestial chant; and then it suddenly ceased and there was
silence. He then heard a voice from above the mount saying to him: "Juanito,
Juan Dieguito." Then he ventured and went to where he was called. He was
not frightened in the least; on the contrary, overjoyed.
Then he climbed the hill, to see from were he was being called. When he
reached the summit, he saw a Lady, who was standing there and told him to
come hither. Approaching her presence, he marveled greatly at her
superhuman grandeur; her garments were shining like the sun; the cliff where
she rested her feet, pierced with glitter, resembling an anklet of precious
stones, and the earth sparkled like the rainbow. The mezquites, nopales, and
other different weeds, which grow there, appeared like emeralds, their foliage
like turquoise, and their branches and thorns glistened like gold. He bowed
before her and herd her word, tender and courteous, like someone who
charms and steems you highly.
