Praises to Tonantzin

Presented by Ukiah Poet Laureate Committee at Grace Hudson Museum, Ukiah CA

Dec 09 2018
Praises to Tonantzin

This is the ninth annual evening of poetry and song celebrating the feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Winter Solstice, embodying the Catholic Church and the indigenous peoples of Mexico.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is often known as Tonantzin, meaning the mother goddess, Mother Earth, and a form of address for the Virgin Mary. Her actual feast day is on December 12 and blends the Old and New Worlds, embodying the Catholic Church and the indigenous peoples of Mexico. Celebrants can participate as readers, as listeners, or as both, and are invited to bring offerings of poetry, stories, dreams, or music — their own or the work of others — in English and/or Spanish.
