国立アメリカ歴史博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (国立アメリカ歴史博物館Instagram)「Though divided by almost two centuries in age, today’s objects focus on the same religious icon: the Virgin of Guadalupe. The first is a devotional image, called a "retablo," which was painted in New Mexico sometime around 1820. It depicts the Virgin Mary as the "La Virgen de Guadalupe." According to tradition, the Virgin of Guadalupe first appeared to Juan Diego, a Christian Indian, on a hilltop near Mexico City in 1531. His vision of a dark-haired, brown-skinned Virgin Mary was popularized by Spanish missionaries seeking to convert Indians to Christianity. Today, the Virgin of Guadalupe retains a special significance in the U.S. Southwest, particularly as a symbol of empowerment for people of mixed indigenous and European descent. Today's second object is an El Camino car hood from Chimayó, New Mexico, which bears the image of La Virgen. If you enjoyed today's post, stay tuned; we’ll be sharing objects with roots in Latinx history throughout Hispanic Heritage Month. #HispanicHeritageMonth #HHM2019 #HHM #HispanicHertiage #LatinxHistory #ReligiousHistory #NewMexicoHistory #LatinoHistory #AmericanHistory #ElCamino #VintageCars #LaVirgendeGuadalupe #TheVirginofGuadalupe」9月16日 8時08分
