Virgin of Guadalupe
(gentle piano music) [Voiceover] We're in the Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City, and we're looking at an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe.발음듣기
This is a replica of the original miraculous image, which is in the Basilica of Guadalupe here in Mexico city.발음듣기
[Voiceover] And so this particular image, it's not solely a painting, it's actually what's called enconchado, or mother of pearl shell inlaid, in this case, into wood.발음듣기
[Voiceover] That mother of pearl creates a reflective, iridescent surface that flickers and changes as your eyes move across it that certainly suggests the heavenly and the divine.발음듣기
This is imagery that comes from the book of Revelation, talking about the woman of the Apocalypse who was similarly shrouded in the sun, and had stars around her head, which have here been placed onto her cloak.발음듣기
[Voiceover] And that she was standing on the moon, which we also see below her, supported by the figure of an angel.발음듣기
[Voiceover] And when she appears to Juan Diego on top of the Hill of Tepeyac, which you can still go to today, which is where the Basilica is located.발음듣기
When she appears to him, she speaks in his language, which was Nahuatl, and she tells him to go to the Bishop and to put a shrine in her honor at this hill.발음듣기
[Voiceover] So this is a moment in time when the Spanish are intensely converting the indigenous peoples, and this miraculous vision to an indigenous person confirmed the correctness of replacing religions that were here with Christianity.발음듣기
[Voiceover] And in fact, the hill had in fact been a location for an Earth Mother deity, where there had been a temple.발음듣기
After Juan Diego goes to the Bishop, the Bishop does not believe him, and this happens several more times before the Virgin tells Juan Diego to gather up Castilian roses in his tilmar, his cloak, and to bring them to the Bishop as a sign that she is actually appearing to Juan Diego, and when he opens his tilmar, this cloak, before the Bishop, not only do the roses fall out, but the miraculous image of Guadalupe is imprinted on it.발음듣기
She has this ashen skin where she is known as the Dark Virgin, which has several layers of meaning.발음듣기
For one, it relates to the Old Testament Song of Songs where the beloved says, "I am black but beautiful," and this woman in the Song of Songs is then read by Christians as an analog for the Virgin Mary.발음듣기
She was thought to have performed many, many miracles even after the initial miracles with Juan Diego.발음듣기
[Voiceover] She becomes the co-patroness of New Spain in 1737 after she intervenes in horrible epidemics that were killing lots of people.발음듣기
