The symbolism found throughout her image is pure Nahuatl and not Christian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicomecōātl I don’t see a problem with Mary bridging cultures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A starving man dreams of bread and all that... Its human nature. But there are also a lot of educated and rich people that also happen to believe. This impression was not painted and is unexplicable even today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithisco Posted May 11, 2019 #35 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Just as an aside - wasnt / isnt there an Heretical Text The Gospel According to Mary that never made the "cut" for inclusion in the Bible during the Council of Nicea.

My people call it Feast of the Dead or "Skeleton Dance" but it's close to the same celebration. That's the original Celtic Samhain, now the modern Hallowe'en = All Hallow's Eve(ning), when the dead were believed to roam freely among the living.

Piney Posted May 11, 2019 #42 Share Posted May 11, 2019 6 minutes ago, Ozymandias said: Any particular time of the year? Spring. We kept the bodies in a "Chiikonaason", a charnel house and a Kiimochknii guarded the remains burning the flesh that was peeled or fell off. The skeletons were bundled and then buried in a Tribal Ossuary. Now it's just cremains or returned remains dug up by archaeologists. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
