I am researching the symbolism of the Guadalupan image and I haven't been able to find anything about the HORNS under her feet. Does anyone have information about the symbolism of the HORNS? Thanks.
I am new to blogs. I don't necessarily need to remain "Anonymous", but I don't know how to establish an identity. I posted the previous question about symbolism of the horns.
thanks,
Ricardito
Although it looks like "horns" that the Virgin is standing on, it is not. It represents the moon, one of the gods of the Aztec religion at the time the Virgin appeared. Since she is standing on the moon, this signifies that she is superior to the Aztec gods and that the Christian religion is therefore replacing their older, pagan religion. The rays around her body indicate that she is also occluding the sun, another of the Aztec gods. One further bit of symbolism: the small angel below her is supporting her (with the moon) signifying to the native indians that she is royalty because royalty was always carried.
that's strange no offense but what really made guadalupe a saint. It seems like two gods have been put into one and seen as saint wouldnt that be pagan there are no such things as saints the only one is elohim himself he sacrifice his life for the world itself and love everybody equally and has the bible to back up the information of such events where in the bible does it mention anything about virgin guadalupe what it does mention is that you should not worship other gods
well yes, i feel in my heart that there is something wrong with us worshiping Mary. in the 10 commandments God clearly states that there should be no other god before Him. and we should only worship Him, then why do we choose not to listen to this commandment!!
