January 19: Señor de Esquipulas

1/19/2025

 
Picture
​El Señor de Esquipulas (El Cristo Negro de Esquipulas​) es una imagen de madera oscurecida de Cristo consagrada en la Catedral Basílica de Esquipulas en Esquipulas, Guatemala. Es una de las imágenes cristológicas negras más famosas de América Latina. Esquipulas celebra su fiesta patronal el 15 de enero, cuando llegan muchos peregrinos desde Guatemala y los países vecinos de Centroamérica.
 
Según los estudiosos, la imagen fue esculpida por un artista portugués en 1594 y, debido a los numerosos milagros que se le atribuyen, se ha convertido en un importante símbolo de la fe en Guatemala a lo largo de los siglos siguientes. El crucifijo y la devoción al mismo, conocido como el "Señor Milagroso de Esquipulas", han sobrevivido a décadas de agitación política.
​

La comunidad guatemalteca de la parroquia María, Madre de Dios invita a todos a celebrar al Señor de Esquipulas el domingo 14 de enero en la misa de las 12:30 PM en la iglesia de Santa Ita (5500 N. Broadway). ​¡La misa será seguida por una animada recepción en Jubilee Hall!

According to scholars, the image was sculpted by a Portuguese artist in 1594 and, because of the numerous miracles attributed to it, has become an important symbol of the faithand it has become an important symbol of the faith in Guatemala over the course of the following centuries. The crucifix and devotion to it, known as the "Miraculous Lord of Esquipulas,” have survived decades of the political turmoil.​
