Ulendo wopita kuphiri, pothawira pakati pa mesquites, pempholo kwa agogo ndi zopereka ku Guadalupana. Kuchokera ku chipululu mpaka ku nkhalango, maluwawo amasakanikirana ndi mtundu wa Otomí omwe amalimbana kuti adziwike.
Fungo la chitofu chodzipangira lokha lidadzaza mlengalenga pomwe Dona Josefina adayika mbale ya nopales ndi nyemba patebulo. Pamwamba pa nyumbayi, mawonekedwe a Cerrito Parado adakopeka ndi kunyezimira kwa mwezi ndipo chipululu chochepa chimawoneka mdima. Zinkawoneka ngati zochitika zojambulidwa tsiku ndi tsiku m'matawuni aku Mesoamerican pre-Puerto Rico omwe adayamba kukhala m'chigawo ichi cha Otomí ku Higueras ku Tolimán, Querétaro, kuchokera komwe ulendo wamasiku anayi wopita ku Cerro del Zamorano uyambira.
Kutacha m'mawa kwambiri, abulu omwe angatinyamulire katundu wathu anali okonzeka ndipo tinanyamuka ulendo wopita kudera la Mesa de Ramírez, komwe kuli tchalitchi chomwe chimateteza mwansanje umodzi mwamipingo iwiri yoyera yomwe imachita ulendowu. Woyang'anira mdera lino anali a Don Guadalupe Luna ndi mwana wawo wamwamuna Félix. Malinga ndi katswiri wa chikhalidwe cha anthu Abel Piña Perusquia, yemwe adaphunzira chigawochi kwa zaka zisanu ndi zitatu, kuyenda kopatulika komanso zochitika zachipembedzo kuzungulira Holy Cross ndi njira yolumikizana, popeza atsogoleri achipembedzo am'magawo khumi ndi awiri omwe amapanga dera la Higueras amapita chaka chilichonse.
Pambuyo pa mwambowu motsogozedwa ndi woperekera chikho woyang'anira mtanda, mzere wa amwendamnjira adayamba kukwera misewu yowuma, yokhotakhota. Amanyamula m'manja mphatso za maluwa amchipululu atakulungidwa m'masamba a maguey ndi chakudya chofunikira paulendo, osaphonya zitoliro ndi ng'oma za oyimba.
Atafika kumapeto kwa "chigwa", mzere wamagulu a Maguey Manso udawonekera pamwamba ndipo, atatha kuwonetsa mwachidule pakati pa mitanda ndi mayordomos, njirayo idayambiranso. Pakadali pano gululi linali ndi anthu pafupifupi zana omwe amafuna kupereka kwa Namwali wa tchalitchi chomwe chili pamwamba pa phiri. Maminiti pambuyo pake timafika pachipinda chotseguka pomwe malo oyimilira oyamba asanu ndi awiri amapangidwira, pamenepo pamakhala mitanda yoperekera zoperekazo, kuyatsa kwamphezi ndikupemphera kumadera anayi amakadinala.
Paulendowu, Don Cipriano Pérez Pérez, wopereka chikho ku Maguey Manso, amandiuza kuti mu 1750, pankhondo ku Pinal del Zamorano, kholo la omwe adadzipereka kwa Mulungu, yemwe adayankha kuti: udere nkhawa kuti ndikupulumutsa. " Ndipo zidachitikadi. Kuyambira pamenepo, mibadwomibadwo, banja la Don Cipriano latsogolera ulendowu: "... ichi ndi chikondi, muyenera kukhala oleza mtima ... mwana wanga Eligio ndi amene adzakhale ndikadzachoka ...."
Chilengedwe chimayamba kusintha pamene tikupita patsogolo. Tsopano tikuyenda pafupi ndi mitengo ya m'nkhalango yotsika ndipo mwadzidzidzi Don Alejandro akuyimitsa kalavani yayitali. Ana ndi achinyamata omwe akupezekapo koyamba ayenera kudula nthambi zina ndikupita kukasesa malo omwe adzaimirenso malo achiwiriwo. Pamapeto poyeretsa malowa, amwendamnjira amalowa omwe, akupanga mizere iwiri, amayamba kuzungulira guwa laling'ono lamiyala mbali ina. Pomaliza mitanda imayikidwa pansi pa mesquite. Utsi wakuphatikizana umasakanikirana ndi kung'ung'udza kwamapemphero ndi thukuta kusokonezedwa ndi misozi yomwe imatuluka mwa abambo ndi amai. Kupempherera mphepo zinayi kumachitidwanso kamodzinso ndipo mphindi yamalingaliro imafika pachimake ndi kuyatsa kwa kopala patsogolo pa Holy Crosses. Yakwana nthawi yakudya ndipo banja lililonse limasonkhana m'magulu kuti asangalale: nyemba, nopales ndi mikate. Atangopitilira panjira, akuyenda mopyola mapiri, nyengo imazizira, mitengo imakula ndipo nswala imadutsa patali.
Mithunzi ikatambasula timakafika ku tchalitchi china chomwe chili pafupi ndi mesquite yayikulu pomwe tidamanga msasa. Usiku wonse mapemphero ndi kulira kwa chitoliro ndi maseche sizipuma. Dzuwa lisanatuluke, gulu la omwe ali ndi akatunduyu ali panjira. Pakatikati mwa nkhalango ya thundu ndikupita chigwa chamatabwa ndikudutsa kamtsinje kakang'ono, phokoso la belu limafalikira patali. Don Cipriano ndi Don Alejandro ayimilira ndipo amwendamnjira akukhala kupumula. Kuchokera kutali amandipatsa mbendera yochenjera ndipo ndimawatsatira. Amalowa m'njira pakati pa zomera ndipo amatha kuchoka pamaso panga kuti apezekenso pansi pa thanthwe lalikulu. Don Alejandro adayatsa makandulo ndikuyika maluwa. Pamapeto pa mwambowu pomwe anthu anayi okha ndi omwe adatenga nawo gawo, adandiuza kuti: "tabwera kudzapereka kwa otchedwa agogo ... ngati wina akudwala, amafunsidwa kenako wodwalayo amadzuka ..."
"Agogo aamuna" a Chichimeco-Jonaces omwe amakhala m'derali osakanikirana ndi magulu a Otomi omwe adatsagana ndi Aspanya pakubwerera kwawo m'zaka za zana la khumi ndi chisanu ndi chiwiri, ndichifukwa chake amawonedwa ngati makolo a omwe akukhala pano.
Pambuyo pa phiri lina wina amatsatira wina. Pamene adatembenuza imodzi mwanjira zopindika, mwana yemwe adakhazikika mumtengo wamatequite adayamba kuwerengera amwendamnjira mpaka adafika 199, nambala yomwe adalemba pamtengowo. "Kumalo ano anthu amauzidwa nthawi zonse.", Anandiuza, "... zakhala zikuchitikachitika ..."
Dzuwa lisanalowe, belu limalira. Apanso anyamata aja adabwera kudzasesa malo omwe tikamanga msasa. Nditafika pamalopo, ndidapatsidwa malo okhala ndi miyala yayikulu, mphako la 15 mita kutalika ndi 40 mita m'lifupi, yomwe imayang'ana kumpoto, kulowera ku Tierra Blanca, ku Guanajuato. Kumbuyo, pamwamba pa khoma lamiyala, panali zithunzi zosawoneka za Namwali wa ku Guadalupe ndi a Juan Diego, komanso kupitirira apo, ngakhale anzeru atatu.
Panjira yomwe imadutsa mbali ya phiri lamatchire, amwendamnjirawo adagwada, pang'onopang'ono komanso mopweteka chifukwa chamiyala. Mitanda inayikidwa pansi pazithunzizo ndipo mapemphero achikhalidwe ankachitidwa. Kudikira kudandidzidzimutsa pomwe kuyatsa kwamakandulo ndi malo amoto zidatsikira pamakoma ndipo echo idayankha mapempherowo.
Kutacha m'mawa, titatopa pang'ono ndi kuzizira komwe kumabwera kumpoto kwa phirilo, tinabwerera njira kuti tipeze njira yolemetsa yomwe imakwera pamwamba. Kumbali yakumpoto, tchalitchi chaching'ono chopangidwa ndi miyala pamwamba pa thanthwe lalikulu chimadikirira Holy Crosses, chomwe chidayikidwa pansi pa chithunzi cha Namwali wina wa ku Guadalupe wopangidwa ndi monolith. Felix ndi Don Cipriano adayamba mwambowo. Wapolisi nthawi yomweyo adadzaza chipinda chaching'ono ndipo zopereka zonse zimasungidwa komwe akupita. Ndi chisakanizo cha Otomí ndi Spanish, adadzithokoza chifukwa chofika bwinobwino, ndipo mapempherowo adatsika pamodzi ndi misozi. Tithokoze, machimo adakhululukidwa, zopempha zamadzi za mbewu zidaperekedwa.
Kubwerera kunalibe. Zomera zimadulidwa m'nkhalango kuti zizipereke kuchipululu ndipo poyambira kutsika kuchokera kuphiri mvula idayamba kugwa, mvula yomwe idkafunika miyezi ingapo. Zikuwoneka kuti agogo a phirili anali osangalala kuti apatsidwa.
