Lncreible Suceso Una Mujer Que Se Convierte En Piedra Relato Traido De San Juan De Los Lagos, Lmprenta De Antonio Vanegas Arroyo

Marian Broadsides from Mexico

Illustrator: Jose Guadalupe Posada

Dona Eugenia, who is sick, undertakes a pilgrimage to the Virgin of San Juan de los Lagos. On the way there, demons cause her to become more and more angry at her promise to Our Lady, and she sinks into a rage of curses and blasphemies . With a clap of thunder, she is turned to stone! There seems to be some theological tension here between Old Testament ideas of God (Our unfortunate protagonist is compared to Lot's wife) and a more New Testament-ish concern with the compassion of God and the Holy Mother. In this …

Admirable Milagro De La Sma. Virgen De Guadalupe En El Pueblo De Taxco: Un Cirio Con Substancias Explosivas, Lmprenta De Antonio Vanegas Arroyo

Marian Broadsides from Mexico

Illustrator: Jose Guadalupe Posada

This sheet gives news of an unbeliever who went into a church to leave two candles, one of which was filled with explosives, to be used during a function for the Virgin of Guadalupe. The candles were lit before the service, but one attendant inexplicably felt that he had to extinguish the flames, thus saving everyone. Taking the candles away, it was noticed that one candle was heavier than the other, and the plot was laid bare. This was hailed as miraculous intervention by Mary.

Devotional volante filled with prayers and praise to Mother Mary. Lack of publisher info helps me to the conclusion that this was printed as an inexpensive keepsake for visitors to Her Holy Abode.

Gratitude and prayers to the Virgen of San Juan de Los Lagos for her love, intercession, and grace to the multitude of sinners prostrate with devotion.

Lovely engraving of the basilica signed by Posada.

La Anima Sola, Lmprenta De Antonio Vanegas Arroyo

Marian Broadsides from Mexico

Illustrator: Jose Guadalupe Posada

Here we have another of Posada's masterpieces, "The Lonely Soul," a breathtaking depiction of a tormented soul in purgatory pleading with Mother Mary and St. Joseph to intercede with the Holy Trinity on her behalf. The idea of purgatory, an intermediate place where souls suffer for a period of time in order to pay penance for sins committed while alive, has roots that extend centuries before Christianity and spread to the ancient belief systems of such far-flung locales as India, Persia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Palestine. The concept gained widespread acceptance in the Church in the …

Marian Broadsides from Mexico

Illustrator: Jose Guadalupe Posada

Agapita gives birth to a tragic baby with its eyes on its forehead and a tail like a monkey's. This causes amazement and confusion, as Agapita is a beautiful teen and her paramour, unnamed and only mentioned the once, is "a white youth and not bad-looking". This causes quite a stir, with some proclaiming that this is a punishment on the youths from God for not being obedient to their parents. Agapita visits the Virgin of Guadalupe, where her tears pour down her face and flow out of the temple, demonstrating her true repentance. She was …
