When we went on vacation toMexico last summer. In the Place they told us a legend of something that isbelieved to have happened a long time ago.
The legend of La Llorona as it is known today as a soul inpain that wanders the streets looking for her children, which has its origin inMexico in the mid-sixteenth century.
You could hear it many times, a woman was crying and she wasscreaming at night, she was screaming loudly:- My children, well, we have to go far away!And sometimes he would say:My little children, where will I take you?
Cihuacóatl began to appear in Lake Texcoco around the year1500. Priests skilled in astrology interpreted his presence as a premonition ofupcoming events that would befall the Mexica. Death, war and slavery.
They always climbed to the top of the temple and could seetowards the east a white figure, with hair combed in such a way that it seemedto carry two small ergots on its forehead, dragging or floating a tail of clothso vaporous that it undulated in the wind and with his piercing cry Ayyy myhiiijoooooooosss! Where will I take them to escape such a dire fate?
They said that strange men, wiserand older than us, will come from the East and will subjugate your people andyourself, and you and yours will be of many tears and great sorrows and thatyour race will disappear devoured and our gods humiliated by others. mostpowerful gods.
This is how the legend begins. Itis said that at the bell of twelve, a woman dressed in white and with her facecovered by a very light veil approaches from the west. It goes from one streetto another. Some say it floats; others, that he has no face. The only thingheard is the moan of Oh, my children!.
Those men from theEast were the Spaniards led by Hernán Cortés, and subjugated the greatTenochtitlán and with the fall of all the peoples, they suffered the atrocitiesof the invaders. Epidemics, murdered men, raped women, and their forgottengods… with the exception of Cihuacoatl (La llorona).
