CORPUS CHRISTI CUSQUEÑO

 

The Feast of "Corpus Christi" figures prominently in the festival calendar of the city, is one of the most lavish religious festivals of Cusco so for this occasion, the city is very popular with people coming from elsewhere. The origin of this festival dates back to 1247, when San Miguel de Liege (Belgium) was held for the first time. "Corpus Christi" means "Body of Christ" and was instituted to solemnly commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist which in turn represents the Body of Christ must take place on Thursday after the octave of Pentecost, that is, on Thursday following the feast of the Holy Trinity, this day becomes counting nine weeks on Thursday after Holy Thursday. It was established in this area of the Andes after 1533 but officially established in Qosqo by Viceroy Toledo in 1572, with its famous "Ordinances". In pre-Hispanic times were important holidays in each month of the year, the Inkas was characterized by an agricultural society, quiet and relatively harmonious related parties had their main activity and their ancestral deities. Clearly, the biggest party of the Inkas was the "Inti Raymi" or "Fiesta del Sol", carried out exactly in the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, ie 21 June each year. It was a religious celebration developed in the main square of the city in honor of "Tayta Inti" or "Father Sun" and in the presence of "mallki" of all his children, ie in the presence of the mummies of all the Incas or Kings Tawantinsuyo, and other ancestors. The mummies were carried in procession richly dressed with many jewels and ornaments on a stretcher or special bunks made of precious metals (the cult of "mallki" became known as "Onqoy Mita"), after the religious ceremony had a festoon with plenty food, drink and dance in another part of the Plaza.Corpus Christi are two Latin words, meaning the Body of Christ. With these words means the feast of the Institution of the Eucharist, celebrating the Catholic Church on Thursday, the sixtieth day after the Sunday of Easter.

When the Spanish arrived in Cusco, were surprised to learn that the children of the sun drew in procession to the mummies of the Incas, then, brandishing the Gospels, decided to end forever with the pagan festival. The solution of the missionaries who accompanied the conquerors was very simple: replace the venerable remains by images of the Virgin Mary and Catholic saints. Thus was born the Corpus Christi in the ancient capital of Tawantinsuyo, a Catholic celebration that was filled with Andean shades "
