TOLTEKAYOTL: The Indigenous Roots Exhibit

Festival de las culturas hispanase indígenas de las Americas

Por David FigueroaCónsul General de México

En San José

Esta semana dioinicio la 5ª Se-mana Bina-

cional de la Salud, unasemana que reúne esfuer-zos de autoridades locales,gobiernos federales, agen-cias, organizaciones y voluntarios. Estos días estándestinados a actividades

que ayuden a mejorar la salud de una de laspoblaciones más desfavorecidas que vive en Es-tados Unidos: la población inmigrante.

La Semana Binacional de la salud, es unaoportunidad para concientizar a nuestra gente, alos trabajadores y sus familias que tanto apoyonecesitan. Porque ellos llegaron a este país conobjetivos, motivaciones y con sueños que puedenestropearse sino hacen conciencia de que ademásde trabajar también hay que atender, prevenir ycuidar su salud.

Ellos trabajan largas jornadas, expuestos alsol, a fertilizantes, químicos, trabajos que re-quieren de fuerzas que muchas veces no tienenpor cambios que se han visto en la necesidad deenfrentar, como el clima, la alimentación, el es-trés y principalmente hábitos de vida distintos alos que acostumbraban en sus lugares de origen.

Aquí en California, en la zona del Valle deSalinas, mundialmente conocida por la produc-ción de alimentos, existen miles de trabajadoresagrícolas quienes cosechan con sus propiasmanos, que van directo a las mesas demillones de familias esta-dounidenses.

Pensando en ellos, hoyen día existen programasque, desde donde nosencontremos tenemosque apoyar, porqueson ellos los queapoyan a laeconomía deambos países y poreso debemos uniresfuerzos.

Este es un mesmuy importante en elque estamos traba-jando todos los consula-dos con un solo objetivo,el de trabajar en forma con-junta en la Semana Binacionalde Salud, una semana que se hacreado para hacer conciencia en nuestragente, hacerles saber que las consecuencias de noatenderse, pueden ser costosas e irreversibles.

A diario, por el contacto con nuestra gente,he sido testigo de rostros agotados, que enmuchas ocasiones reflejan más edad de la que

tienen. Ahora entiendo que esos rostros son depersonas que se han dedicado al 100 por ciento aestar en el campo, trabajando y luchando por ga-narse la vida, olvidándose de su salud.

Por tal motivo, todos esta-mos buscando la forma de

llegar a los lugares enlos que están los

t r aba jadores ,para que me-

diante activi-d a d e seducativasy de pro-moción dela saludsepan laimportan-

cia de pre-v e n i r

enfermedadesy de cuidar su

salud.Pero algo im-

portante que no puedodejar de mencionar, es cómo

hacer y a donde acudir si nuestra co-munidad se encuentra en desventaja en cuanto acobertura médica. Muchos de nuestros traba-jadores sufren por no tener un seguro médico. Notienen los servicios necesarios de salud y los re-sultados se reflejan en una comunidad pobre en

salud. Debido a este hecho es que es muy impor-

tante esta Semana Binacional de Salud, porquenosotros como autoridades, en conjunto con lasautoridades locales del departamento de salud,trabajamos en este tipo de programas que ase-guren las condiciones mínimas de vida acepta-bles a nuestra comunidad.

Dentro de las actividades que incluye la Se-mana Binacional de Salud se contemplan hoy endía, eventos familiares en los que se ofrecen con-sultas médicas gratuitas, así como de deteccióny prevención, todas las personas que asisten aestas actividades obtienen información impresade muchos problemas de salud que afectan anuestra comunidad como enfermedades de trans-misión sexual, embarazos no planeados, dia-betes, obesidad hipertensión arterial, etc.

Las estadísticas pueden darnos indicativosalentadores o desalentadores, pero creo que lomás importante es tener conciencia de que las de-cisiones políticas pueden tomarse en Washingtonfrente a temas como el migratorio, sin embargoel deber de todos nosotros es asegurarnos demantener una comunidad sana, ya que nuestrostrabajadores son una parte muy importante paraambas economías y además gracias a ellos haygente que trabaja el campo, los servicios, las con-strucciones y mucho mas áreas.

Congress Members areMasters of Hypocrisy

By Gil Villagrán, MSW

As health care reform bills wind their way through thelabyrinth of Congressional committees, caucuses, lobbyistmeals at five star dining rooms, district office forums, tea

bag rants and secret deal making with the very industry any reform mustregulate, the American public might ask: What kind of health insurancedo members of Congress have?

Our nation’s “Masters of Legislation” have a conveniently locatedhealth clinic right in the Capitol, called the Office of the AttendingPhysician, staffed by doctors, nurses, technicians, a pharmacy, chiro-practor and physical therapist (for those painful golf injuries). In addi-tion to assigned staff, on-call specialists are available, as well astreatment or surgery at veteran’s and university hospitals throughoutthe nation. The clinic is initially funded by $3 million out of the U.S.Navy medical budget, with additional funds available. Medical staffreport, “The services are the best on the planet.” And so they shouldbe for those charged with legislating our nation.

So what do the members of Congress pay for their health care?Would you believe: $503 per year? Yes, per year! And some do noteven pay that amount, though they are not refused treatment for failingto pay the premium or for pre-existing conditions. The legislators alsohave a choice of ten health plans for their families, with the public pay-ing 2/3 of the premiums, while they pay one-third.

Americans might ponder this information as they pay their premi-ums for health insurance. Further questions: Is your insurance tied toyour job? What happens when you lose your job, the company decidesto not offer coverage, or you retire? Questions for the 60 million unin-sured Americans: Are you healthy enough to obtain health insurance,and if so, can you afford it? Can any of us afford not to have health in-surance?

The truth is we are biological beings—at risk of injury or illnessthroughout our lives, and in the end, life is a terminal condition we can-not escape. We all need health care from prenatal to end of life. Re-sponsible governance demands of an actual health care system of illnessprevention (immunizations), health promotion (smoking cessation) andtreatment alternatives so that we can all live the healthiest life possible.A state of well being for our nation must ensure health care for every-one, not just the wealthy, the presently employed or healthy, corporateCEOs. Everyone includes: the teacher, nurse, police officer, autoworker, bus driver, chef; but also the dishwasher with a persistent cold,the child care provider who needs an annual TB test, the woman whocannot survive another pregnancy, the coal miner coughing blood.

We all need health care, not health care insurance. The presentmorass of buying health insurance in order to pay for our health caretreatment is an absurd multi-billion dollar misdirection toward obtainingwhat we need: doctors, nurses, diagnostic exams, and the occasionalsurgery. I know of no insurance salesperson, actuarial analyst, lobbyistor ad agency pitchman who can cure any illness. All they do is takeour money to then tell our doctors why our premiums do not cover whatails us, creating evermore esoteric loopholes to deny coverage. Tellyour Congressional representatives you want the same health plan thatyou are paying for them to have. If they say the nation cannot affordsuch health care for everyone, you will know them to be Masters ofHypocrisy.

Is our nation being damaged in any man-ner by those who continuously attack thepersonhood of the 44th President of the

United States with falsehoods? His recent elec-tion made history, both in the world and in thisnation. An overview of his campaign during 2008reveals that those who supported his successfulpolitical campaign managed to change Americanpolitics forever by using the latest informationtechnology techniques to raise $780 million incampaign contributions from the people. The av-erage amount was $109, which indicates that theAmerican public supported him and his team.This fact is a very strong indication that the peo-ple had more to do with his election than did cor-porate special interests (both unions andcorporations) who contribute very large politicaldonations of $5,000 or more.

So the outcome was that registered voterselected the first American president whose her-itage included both African and European com-ponents. In addition, his Kenyan father left so hisAnglo mother was obliged to raise him as a singleparent with the assistance of his Anglo grandpar-ents.

Barack Hussein Obama was exposed duringhis formative years to the Muslim ethos, but re-mained a Christian. This exposure to the Muslimfaith must be very useful today when the majorthreats to world peace and our national safetyemanates from Muslim Jihadists (Al Qaeda andTaliban extremists) whose fanatical objective is

to eliminate anyone who is not a Muslim.And let us not forget that President Obama

experienced much as a community organizer inthe low income communities of Chicago, whosepopulations are predominantly African American.Then there is the reality that President Obama isa former professor of constitutional law at theUniversity of Chicago, which is a well-respectedaccredited institution.

This President has the thoughtful habit oflooking at all perspectives of any situation beingaddressed. He seeks and evaluates all the adviceand counsel from others and from history beforemaking a decision, which becomes public policy.President Obama communicates to all often, andis engaged and accessible. What a contrast to therecorded acts of the prior Republican Bush ad-ministration, which neglected many domestic is-sues while looking the other way when majorfinancial institutions were making very risky in-vestments with those dishonestly valued ‘deriv-atives’.

It is disquieting to experience the majormainstream media’s habit of providing extensivepress coverage to those who are obviously racists,bigots, or just plain ignorant of our nationalnorms of respect and acceptable social behavior.Why was an objectionable Internet survey onFacebook allowed to happen? Where were thoseaccountable for accepted levels of decency andresponsibility? Does the quest for higher ratingsparalyze their judgment? Those who promul-

gated that survey abused the American constitu-tional ideal of ‘Freedom of Speech’. It is simply aswrong to ask the question about ‘killing the Pres-ident’ as it is to scream FIRE in a crowded theater.Those ultra-conservatives who are racist, bigots,and prejudicial need to know that they have thefreedom of thought, but not the freedom of verypublic expression of those inappropriatethoughts. The Secret Service needs to pursue theirinvestigation and publicly reveal who perpetratedthat survey, including those Facebook officialswho were not reasonable stewards of their publicresponsibilities.

Some individuals need to learn that whentheir opinion is needed, the community will askfor it. Others need to understand that theirs is notthe only opinion that prevails. And too many whoare members of the silent majority, do care, butdo not express their deep felt sentiments.

President Barack Hussein Obama waselected fair and square using the established po-litical systems. Today many need to accept thiselection process outcome. It is essential for ourworld super power interests that we all expressour thoughts about him and his public policyagenda in a behavioral manner that conveys ourrespect, honor and acceptance of him as our na-tion’s legitimately elected leader and President.All must demonstrate acceptance, respect andhonor the Office of the President of the UnitedStates of America.Δ

RELEASE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)

Learning Together School Readiness Initiative

The Latino Role Model Conferencewas created to plant seeds of ac-ademic success by planting

dreams into the minds of East San Josestudents. Now in its 19th year, the con-ference brings together Latino doctors,

lawyers, engineers, teachers, police offi-cers, firefighters, journalists and otherprofessionals for one inspirational day,giving students face time with the rolemodels of their choice. Many of the rolemodel speakers are graduates of the East

Latino Students Hear FromEast San Jose Role Models

Side Union High School District.This role model conference will be spe-

cial for Founder and Director, Esau Herrera.Herrera, a lawyer during the day and an AlumRock School District trustee on his free time,will reap what was sown many years ago.Some of this year’s role model speakers wereformer student attendees at prior confer-ences. But what makes Herrera burst withpride is two particular role model speakers;his son, Alejandro, and his daughter, Kiara.What moves him to tears is that this confer-ence will be a family affair, as his wife, An-gelina, will also be among the stellar list ofrole models.

Eleven years ago, when Kiara was a 3rdgrader and Alejandro a 6th grader, they firstaccompanied their father to a role model con-ference. They were the only youngsterswearing printed name badges, given to adultrole models showing their profession andtheir college alma mater. Prophetically,Kiara’s name badge read “student, Santa ClaraUniversity Class of 2012.” Alejandro’s namebadge was similar, with a different collegelisted.

Kiara, now a sophomore at SCU (class of2012) and majoring in environmental sci-ences, will serve on the “Environmental Sci-ences/Industries” panel. Alejandro, agraduate of UC Santa Cruz and now in a com-bined Master’s degree/teacher credentialprogram at UCSC, will be a panelist on the“Teacher/Counselor” panel. Angelina, a XeroxCorporation Vice President and recipient ofSanta Clara County’s prestigious “HispanicPortraits of Success” award, will serve on the“Business & Management” panel.

“If we can be role models for our kidsand inspire them to their path of success,then we will have accomplished much in life,”said Herrera, himself a graduate of Alum Rockand East Side high schools. “And in reality, thestudents here are all our kids. Today, we’replanting dreams in their brains. Tomorrow,they will be our next role model speakers.”

Para un mundo mejor, tome duchas más cortas.

Duchas largas no solo son fastidiosas, también gastan una gran cantidad

de agua. Pero si usted corta sus duchas por solo 5 minutos, ahorraría 15

galones de agua cada vez. Los ahorros no paran ahí:

Instale grifos con aireador y regaderas de baja presión y ahorre

16 galones al día.

Espere hasta que tenga suficiente ropa en la maquina, o hasta que

la lavadora de platos este llena antes de empezar a lavar y ahorre

20 galones por lavada.

Componga goteos y ahorre mas de 15 galones al día, por cada goteo.

Instale inodoros de alta-eficiencia y ahorre 25 galones al día.

Pequeñas acciones como estas resultan en grandes ahorros. Si todos

conservamos 20 galones al día, ahorraríamos más de 13 billones

galones al año en solo el condado de Santa Clara. Para más consejos

By Dave CorteseSupervisor District 3

One of my priorities as a countysupervisor is to promote healthy,peaceful and harmonious neigh-

borhoods. Sometimes basic “neighbor toneighbor” communications break down andneighborhood peace— turns into neighbor-hood war. Imagine you bought a new homethree years ago in a great neighborhood withwonderful and friendly neighbors. Nowimagine that it is has become a nightmare foryou. Over the three-year time frame yourneighbor next door, who welcomed youwarmly, has acquired cars for his two kids.They park in front of your house, leaving noroom for visitors to park and creating distur-bances with loud music late into the night.To add insult to injury, the neighbor’s dog isbarking incessantly at any minor noise andyou’re losing sleep.

You’ve tried talking to him. His answershave been less than cordial; “it’s a publicstreet” or “You know how kids are”. Thefriendly smile that was there to greet you asa new neighbor has been replaced by glaresand silence. You’ve called the city’s code en-forcement department for help. They have in-vestigated and determined there are no code

violations. In retaliation for your call, yoususpect your neighbor is the one who hasbeen littering your property and tagging yourfence.

What can you do? Where do you turn?The answer might be the Community

Dispute Resolution service provided by theCounty’s Office of Human Relations. Theyprovide a wide range of services, which in-clude neighbor-to-neighbor disputes as wellas entire neighborhood issues resolution.They are trained specifically to handle situa-tions where small things have escalated intolarger fights and even court action. Their suc-cess lies not in resolving the dispute but inassisting the parties to achieve the resolutionon their own.

It is key to keep talking with your neigh-bors and to maintain the attitude you hadwhen you first moved in. If somethingcomes up, don’t be afraid to talk to yourneighbor about it. If you are having an issueor know of a friend or relative who mightneed the county’s service, please contact meat [email protected] or 408-299-5030 and I am happy to help. And remem-ber, it’s not just one on one differences.Dispute Resolution is a great resource if anentire neighborhood has an issue.

Por Rosario Vital - El Observador

Tomar un vuelo local requiere como mínimo estarpresente una hora antes, el vuelo de San José aLos Angeles tarda 1:15 minutos y luego si lleva

equipaje tendría que esperar lo que le resultaría casi treshoras de viaje por un equivalente mínimos de $138 dólaresy con suerte podría agarrar alguna promoción de des-cuento.

El proyecto del tren rápido está enfocado precisa-mente en ahorrar tiempo y dinero. El tren va a 200 millaspor hora (322 kph). Según las autoridades dice que unviaje de San José a Los Angeles tomaría 2 horas 21 minutosalguien por ahí dijo dos horas 9 minutos. Viajar en tren de

San José a San Francisco tomaría nada más que 30 minu-tos.

Los ambientalistas dicen que el tren cuidaría el medioambiente, menos gente manejando sus vehículos haríamenos contaminante las carreteras. El proyecto del trentraería oportunidades de trabajo y en tiempos de crisis in-vertir en estos grandes proyectos sería muy convenientepara el estado de California. Se estima que se crearían 600mil Fuentes de trabajo en el rubro de la construcción y 450mil empleos fijos una vez que el sistema sea construido.Además esto permitiría reducir el número de accidentesen las carreteras

El pasado 2 de octubre las autoridades a nivel local yestatal dijeron que el estado de California es el estado

mejor preparado en el país para recibir y maximizar el ben-eficio de $ 4,7 mil millones de acción de los US $ 8 milmillones en fondos federales para el desarrollo del tren dealta velocidad en la región bajo la Ley de Reinversión y Re-cuperación (ARRA).

La Congresista Zoe Lofgren, la Senadora Elaine Alquistasi como el Asambleísta Paul Fong asi como el SupervisorDave Cortes, los Concejales Sam Liccardo y Ash Kalra apo-yaron la solicitud para California el pasado 2 de octubre.Ellos formaron parte de una acción en simultáneo iniciadaen Los Angeles, seguida en la estación de Diridon en SanJosé y culminada en Fresno para expresar la solicitud delos fondos que se requieren. Si todo marcha bien a partir

del año 2011 se estarían haciendo los primeros trabajospara este "tren bala" y para el 2017 millones de viajerosserían beneficiados que este servicio de transporte.

Se ha hecho un profundo análisis sobre la construc-ción del tren rápido. Los reportes indican que servir almismo número de viajeros del sistema de tren de alta ve-locidad, California tendría que construir cerca de 3,000millas de carriles en las autopistas y cinco pistas en elaeropuerto y 90 puertas de salida para el 2020 lo quecuesta dos veces más que el sistema del tren de alta ve-locidad y que ocasionaría un mayor impacto ambiental.En otras palabras a California le conviene el tren.

By Rosario Vital - El Observador

Egypt has majestic displays such as Tu-tankhamun and the Golden Age of thePharaohs. In Latin America, we have

many great works of art by various indigenous peo-ples. One of these groups of indigenous people isthe TOLTEKAYOTL.

As part of the Hispanic Heritage Month cele-brations, San Jose City College is currently display-ing an exhibit of approximately 1,700 pieces fromthe TOLTEKAYOTL. Mexican historian Luis Govacollected the pieces over several decades.

These pieces are on display thanks to the sup-port from SJCC. The school has also officiallyfounded Gova’s Inter Americas Center.

“This exhibit is a wonderful asset for the SJCCcommunity and students. To highlight the indige-nous roots during Latino Heritage Month allows usto appreciate art and the immigrant experiences thatare behind the artifacts,” said San José City CollegePresident Michael Burke.

“This exhibit is very rich and the collection isincredible. I am truly surprised by these artifacts,”added San Jose Mexican Consul General DavidFigueroa. “This exhibit is a great way to celebrateMexico’s bicentennial anniversary.”

The present “Indigenous Roots Exhibit” inte-grates cultural and historical materials related toOlmecs, Mayas, Teotihuacanos, Toltecs, and Hui-

chols indigenous groups from Nayarit-Jalisco-Colima.

“From the cultural point of view the exhibit fol-lows the teachings of the Toltec Elders, Huehuetla-toli. Tlapiliztly is a Nauhatl word that means “Thisis what belongs to us, what we must preserve”. Allof the contents of the exhibit contain art, culturaland historical forms that all Latinos must preserveto stay in touch with their Indigenous Roots,” statedGova.

The Indigenous Roots Exhibit and the rest ofthe Inter Americas Center collections have been de-veloped by a large group of volunteers with the as-sistance of Mr. Gova.

The Inter Americas Center is leading organiza-tion dedicated to the preservation, dissemination,and advancement of the Latino culture in the BayArea.

For many years the Center has produced histor-ical, artistic and educational materials from instruc-tional booklets, trainings, hands-on workshops tomuseum exhibits.

The exhibit is free and is open to the publicfrom Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 4 pm atSan Jose City College located at 2100 MoorparkAvenue. The exhibit is located next to the OldRacket Ball Court, next to the Student Union. Theentrance is behind the stadium bleachers. For moreinformation call 408-393-6524.

12th Annual Walk to End Domestic Violence

People usually cut a ribbon to celebratethe grand opening of a building. TheAlum Rock Union School District (ARSD)

had a similar reason to celebrate. Arbuckle, Chavez,Cureton, Dorsa, Hubbard Elementary Schools, andMathson Middle School were improved by thecompletion of Measure G.

In February of 2008, the ARSD informed thecommunity of how it needed to improve the facil-ities but lacked funds. An assessment was done andwith support from the community, the Board of

Trustees took action to place a general obligationbond measure on the June 2008 ballot to fund theimprovements.

The request was supported; Measure G wasapproved with more than a 79% yes vote. TheMeasure G ribbon cutting celebration was held atChavez Elementary this past Tuesday and the bondmanagers, architects, and construction partnerswere acknowledged. Parents, teachers, and stu-dents were also present during the celebration. Sixdifferent ribbons were cut.

Esta semana la comunidad ha recibidoen medio de una gran preocupaciónlas buenas noticias. Ya llegó un

primer lote de vacunas al Condado de SantaClara y por el otro lado el Distrito Escolar Unifi-cado de San José (SJUSD) anunció que vacu-nará gratuitamente a sus 32 mil estudiantes quecomponen su distrito.

Han llegado aproximadamente 14,000 dosisde esta vacuna en forma de aerosol nasal que seva a entregar a los proveedores de serviciosmédicos públicos y privados en el condado, asícomo al Departamento de Salud Pública.

A finales de octubre o a principios denoviembre, más de 200,000 dosis de vacuna seespera que esté disponible en el Condado deSanta Clara.

Vacuna gratis para escolares“Porque nos preocupamos en nues

tros estudiantes, porque deseamos quese mantengan saludables y porque

no queremos que falten a lasclases, la directiva ha decididodar vacunas, claro siempre con

la autorización de los padres”,

dijo a El Observador, el Jorge Gonzalez, Miem-bro de la Mesa Directiva del SJUSD.

Ahora los padres de familia ya no tendránexcusas para no vacunar a sus menores. Talcomo se había reportado en una visita que ElObservador hizo a la Escuela Primaria AnneDarling, localizada en el Este de San José lospadres expresaron su preocupación sobre elcosto de las vacunas.

González explicó que a través de las escue-las serán informados oportunamente sobre cómoy cuándo se iniciará el proceso de vacunación.“Las vacunas también incluyen a los maestrosque están cerca a los niños”, indicó la autoridadeducativa.

Por su parte las autoridades de salud delCondado de Santa Clara indicaron que el elprimer envío de la vacuna se presenta en formade aerosol nasal, no todos pueden recibirlo. Sólolas personas sanas entre las edades de 2 y 49años pueden recibir la vacuna nasal. Los Centrospara el Control y la Prevención de Enfer-medades (CDC) y el Departamento de Salud deCalifornia han identificado en niños sanos entrelas edades de 2 años y 10 años de edad comouna prioridad.

Llegaron las vacunas contra la gripe H1N1Distrito Escolar Unificado dará vacunas gratuitas

La vacuna nasal no debe administrarse a:Niños menores de 2 años de edadAdultos de 50 años de edad y más deLas personas con una condición médica quelos coloca en alto riesgo de complicacionesde la gripe y las personas con enfermedadesque debilitan su sistema inmuneLos niños menores de 5 años de edad conantecedentes de sibilancias recurrentesLos niños o adolescentes que reciben aspi-rinaLas personas con historia de síndrome deGuillain-Barré, un trastorno poco frecuentedel sistema nervioso,Las mujeres embarazadasLas personas que tienen una alergia severaa los huevos de pollo o que son alérgicas acualquiera de los componentes de la vacunanasal.

Basándose en las recomendaciones de los CDC,una vez que la demanda de la vacuna para laspersonas con mayor riesgo de enfermedad o decomplicaciones se haya cumplido, el Departa-mento de Salud Pública y los proveedores lo-cales podrán ofrecer la vacuna a todos losdemás que lo deseen. Δ

Virgen del Pilar “Patrona de la Hispanidad”

La Virgen del Pilar,patrona de España yde toda la hispanidades la aparición másAntigua de la VirgenMaría, esta advo-cación ha sido mar-cada por lacontroversia pues laVirgen apareció aúnestando en vida.

Por Mario Jiménez CastilloEl Observador

Corría el año 40 de nuestra era cuandoel apóstol Santiago, se encontrabapredicando en la Hispania pagana,

en Zaragoza, en las riberas del río Ebro. En esesitio Santiago predicaba día y noche, entoncesen la madrugada del 2 de enero, él y sus acom-pañantes, escucharon voces angelicales quecantaban “Ave, María, gratia plena” y

de repente vieron aparecer a la “Madre deCristo”, de pie, sobre un pilar de mármol. La Vir-gen le dijo al apóstol Santiago que se construy-era allí una iglesia en cuyo altar estaría el pilaren el cuál ella posó de pie y éste permaneceríaen el mismo sitio, hasta el final de los tiempos.Fue así como la iglesia fue construida, aún así,la controversial aparición ha sido defendida porunos y refutada por otros. La Virgen del Pilar esuna de las advocaciones marianas que cuenta

con el mayor número de milagros. Ya en el año1438 se escribía

un libro de milagros atribuidos a ella. Mu-chos fieles afirman haber sido receptores dehechos milagrosos obrados por la Virgen delPilar.

Uno de los milagros pilaristas más afama-dos, es el milagro del Cojo de Calanda, que datade 1640. Tratándose de un hombre a quien leamputaron una pierna. Tiempo más tarde elhombre soñó que visitaba la basílica de la Vir-gen del Pilar y la pierna sanada volvió a su sitio.

Se dice que miles de personas fueron tes-

tigos de dicho milagro, por tal motivo en lapared de la basílica existe un cuadro recor-dando aquel portentoso milagro. Fue el PapaClemente XII quien señaló la fecha del “12 deoctubre para la festividad de la Virgen del Pilar”,

fecha que coincide con la celebración deldía del descubrimiento de América. Es hermososaber que fue “una nación hispana” la que es-cogió la Virgen María para aparecerse porprimera vez y así difundir su devoción. Dios tesalve Virgen del Pilar, España junto a todas lasnaciones hispanas veneran tu santo nombre.Escríbale a Mario a [email protected]
