Uhambo oluya ezintabeni, isiphephelo phakathi kwama-mesquites, isicelo kubabamkhulu kanye neminikelo eGuadalupana. Kusukela ehlane eliwugwadule kuya ehlathini, izimbali ziyaxubana ekuvumelaniseni kwabantu base-Otomí abalwela ukugcina ubunikazi babo.
Iphunga lesitofu esizenzele lagcwala umoya ngesikhathi uDona Josefina ebeka ipuleti lama-nopales nobhontshisi etafuleni. Ngaphezulu kwesibaya, umdwebo weCerrito Parado udwetshiwe ngokukhanya kwenyanga kanti i-semi-desert ingabonakala ebumnyameni obumnyama. Kubonakale njengesigcawu esithathwe empilweni yansuku zonke emadolobheni aseMesoamerican pre-Hispanic aqala ukubakhona kulesi sifunda sase-Otomí saseHiguueras eTolimán, eQuerétaro, lapho kwakuzoqala khona uhambo lwaminyaka yonke lwezinsuku ezine oluya eCerro del Zamorano.
Ngakusasa ekuseni, ekuseni kakhulu, izimbongolo ezazizothwala imithwalo yethu zase zilungile futhi sasuka saya emphakathini waseMesa de Ramírez, lapho indlu yesonto eyayigada ngomona omunye weZiphambano Ezingcwele ezimbili ezenza lolu hambo. Ohola lo mphakathi kwakunguDon Guadalupe Luna nendodana yakhe uFélix. Ngokusho kwesazi semvelaphi yabantu u-Abel Piña Perusquia, ofunde lesi sifunda iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili, ukuhamba okungcwele nemisebenzi yezenkolo ezungeze iScross Cross kuyindlela yokubumbana kwesifunda, ngoba abaholi bezenkolo bemiphakathi eyishumi nambili eyakha isifunda saseHigueraser baba khona minyaka yonke.
Ngemuva komcimbi owenganyelwe umphathi wezinceku owayephethe isiphambano, ulayini wabahambi baqala ukukhuphuka ngemigwaqo eyomile, enamagagasi. Baphatha ezandleni zabo iminikelo yezimbali zasogwadule ezisongwe ngamahlamvu amakhulu kanye nokudla okudingekayo kohambo, ngaphandle kokuphuthelwa imitshingo nezigubhu zabaculi.
Ekufikeni ekugcineni "kwesigodi", ulayini womphakathi waseMaguey Manso wabonakala phezulu futhi, ngemuva kwesethulo esifushane phakathi kweziphambano nemayordomos, indlela yaqala kabusha. Ngaleso sikhathi iqembu lalakhiwe ngabantu abangaba yikhulu ababefuna ukunikela eNcasakazini yendlu yesonto eyayiphezulu esiqongweni sentaba. Emizuzwini engemingaki sifika ethempelini elivulekile lapho kwenziwa khona izitobhi zokuqala eziyisikhombisa, lapho kubekwa khona iziphambano ezineminikelo, ikhophi ikhanyisiwe futhi nemikhuleko yenziwa ezindaweni ezine eziyinhloko.
Ngesikhathi sohambo, uDon Cipriano Pérez Pérez, umphathi wezinduna zomphakathi waseMaguey Manso wangitshela ukuthi cishe ngo-1750, ngesikhathi sempi ePinal del Zamorano, ukhokho wakhe wazinikela kuNkulunkulu, owaphendula wathi: “… uma ungihlonipha, cha ukhathazeke ngokuthi ngizokusindisa. " Futhi kwenzeka kanjalo. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, izizukulwane ngezizukulwane, umndeni kaDon Cipriano uhole uhambo olungezansi: "... lolu uthando, kufanele ubekezele ... indodana yami u-Eligio nguyena ozohlala lapho ngihambile ..."
Imvelo iqala ukuguquka njengoba siqhubekela phambili. Manje sihamba eduze kwezimila eziphansi zehlathi futhi ngokuzumayo uDon Alejandro umisa udwendwe olude. Izingane nentsha eza okokuqala ngqa kumele basike amanye amagatsha baye phambili bayoshanela isiza lapho kuzobekwa khona isitobhi sesibili. Ekupheleni kokuhlanza indawo, abahambeli bangena, okwakha imigqa emibili, baqala ukuzungeza ngezindlela ezihlukile bezungeze i-altare elincane lamatshe. Ekugcineni iziphambano zibekwa ngaphansi kwe-mesquite. Intuthu yamakhophi ixubana nokububula kwemikhuleko nezithukuthuku kudidaniswe nezinyembezi ezigeleza kwabesilisa nabesifazane. Umkhuleko wemimoya emine wenziwa futhi futhi umzuzu ongokomzwelo uphela ngokukhanyiswa kwamakhophi phambi kwe-Holy Crosses. Isikhathi sokudla futhi umndeni ngamunye ubuthana ngamaqembu ukuzojabulela: ubhontshisi, ama-nopales nama-tortilla. Kungekudala ngemuva kokuqhubeka emgwaqeni, ngokugudla amagquma, isimo sezulu siyabanda, izihlahla ziyakhula futhi inyamazane iwela kude.
Lapho izithunzi zinwebeka sifika kwenye indlu yesonto eyayiphambi kwemesquite enkulu lapho sasimise khona amatende. Ubusuku bonke imikhuleko nomsindo womtshingo nethamborini akuphumuli. Ngaphambi kokuthi kuphume ilanga, abasebenzi abasuke bephethe imithwalo basendleleni. Ekujuleni kwehlathi lom-okhi futhi kwehle umhosha onezihlahla bese uwela umfula omncane, umsindo wensimbi usakazeka kude. UDon Cipriano noDon Alejandro bayama futhi izihambeli zihlale phansi ukuze ziphumule. Kusuka kude banginikeza isignali ehlakaniphile futhi ngiyabalandela. Bafaka indlela phakathi kwezimila futhi banyamalale emehlweni ami ukuze baphinde bavele ngaphansi kwedwala elikhulu. UDon Alejandro wakhanyisa amakhandlela wabeka izimbali. Ekupheleni komcimbi lapho abantu abane kuphela ababambe iqhaza khona, wangitshela: "size ukuzonikela kulabo okuthiwa bababamkhulu ... uma umuntu egula, bayabuzwa bese kuthi ogulayo avuke ..."
Ogogo nomkhulu bakwaChichimeco-Jonaces "ababehlala esifundeni esixubene namaqembu e-Otomi ahambisana nabaseSpain lapho befika kule ndawo ngekhulu leshumi nesikhombisa, yingakho bethathwa njengokhokho babakhileyo njengamanje.
Ngemuva kwegquma elinye kwalandela elinye. Ngenkathi ephenduka elinye lamajika amaningi asendleleni, umfana owayegobile esihlahleni se-mesquite waqala ukubala izihambeli waze wafika ku-199, okuyinombolo ayiqopha esihlahleni. "Kule ndawo kuhlala kutshelwa abantu.", Ungitshele, "... bekulokhu kwenziwa ..."
Ngaphambi kokushona kwelanga, yaphinda yakhala insimbi. Zaphinda futhi izinsizwa zaqhamuka zishanela indawo lapho sizokhempa khona. Lapho ngifika endaweni, nganikezwa indawo yokukhosela enkulu enamadwala, umgodi ophakeme ngamamitha ayi-15 ngamamitha angama-40 ububanzi, obheke enyakatho, ngaseTierra Blanca, eGuanajuato. Ngemuva, phezulu odongeni olunamadwala, bekuyizithombe ezingabonakali neze zeNtombazanyana yaseGuadalupe neJuan Diego, nangaphesheya, okungaqondakali nokuncane, Kwabahlakaniphileyo abathathu.
Endleleni egudla ohlangothini lwentaba enezihlahla, izihambeli zahamba ngamadolo, kancane futhi kabuhlungu ngenxa yendawo enamatshe. Iziphambano zabekwa ngaphansi kwezithombe kwenziwa nemikhuleko yesiko. Umlindelo ungithusile lapho ukukhanyiswa kwamakhandlela nezicishamlilo kutheleka phansi ezindongeni futhi i-echo iphendula imithandazo.
Ngakusasa ekuseni, sindikindiki ngenxa yamakhaza aqhamuka enyakatho yentaba, sabuyela emuva endleleni ukuthola indlela esindayo ekhuphukela phezulu. Ehlangothini olusenyakatho, isonto elincane elenziwe ngamatshe elibekwe phezu kwedwala elikhulu lalilindele iSiphambano Esingcwele, esasibekwe ngaphansi kwesithombe senye iNcasakazi yaseGuadalupe eyayihlanganiswe kwi-monolith. UFelix noDon Cipriano baqale lo mcimbi. Ikhophi yagcwalisa ngokushesha indawo ebiyelwe encane futhi yonke iminikelo yafakwa lapho iya khona. Ngenhlanganisela ka-Otomí neSpanish, wazibonga ngokufika kwakhe ephephile, nemithandazo yageleza nezinyembezi. Ukubonga, izono zacaciselwa, izicelo zamanzi zezitshalo zazinikiwe.
Imbuyiselo ibingekho. Izitshalo zazizonqunywa ehlathini ukuze zinikezwe ehlane eliwugwadule futhi ekuqaleni kokwehla kwentaba amaconsi emvula aqala ukuna, imvula ebikade idingeka izinyanga. Ngokusobala ogogo nomkhulu bentaba bajabula ngokunikelwa.
