Ukuhlonipha uJohane uJohane uMbhapathizi
Ukuze uqonde ukuhlonipha iPuerto Ricans kunayo uSanta John uMbhapathizi ( iSan Juan Bautista ngesiSpanishi), udinga ukubuka ngaphandle kwegama lenhloko-dolobha yesiqhingi: idolobha laseSan Juan. Eqinisweni, iSan Juan Bautista kwakubizwa ngokuthi uChristopher Columbus esiqhingini sasePuerto Rico lapho efika ngo-1493 (idolobha laseSan Juan empeleni libizwa ngokuthi "iPorto Rico," noma i-Rich Port).
Yiqiniso, amagama ashintshiwe futhi inhloko-dolobha ibilokhu ibizwa ngegama lasePuerto Rico othandekayo othandekayo.
Namuhla, uSanta uJohane uMbhapathizi uhlala ephakathi kwesiqhingi nesiko. Omunye wamasonto amadala kunawo wonke amadolobha, iCatedral de San Juan , ubizwa ngegama lakhe. Futhi i- Fiesta de San Juan Bautista , eyaziwa nje ngokuthi i- Fiestas de San Juan ingenye yezenzakalo ezibaluleke kakhulu zonyaka.
Mayelana noMkhosi
Umkhosi we-San Juan Bautista uqhubeka njalo ngonyaka kaJuni 24 (Usuku lweMidsummers, noma i-summer solstice) futhi lubhalwe ngamasiko ambalwa namasiko amnandi. Yiyona ebaluleke kunazo zonke zamakhulu ama- fiestas patronales , noma imikhosi yengcwele ye- patron, ukuthi amadolobha namadolobha asePuerto Rico abamba unyaka ngamunye ukuhlonipha ingcwele yabo ekhethiwe.
Ngihlale ngimangalisa ikhono lasePuerto Rico lokugcina ikhalenda egcwele ngokuzenzekelayo yezenzakalo, nomuntu othile ekubambeni okuthile cishe nsuku zonke (futhi nakanjani njalo ngempelasonto).
Kusuka ekudleni kuya kubantu abangena ezenzakalweni zomlando, lesi siqhingi sithanda ukuphonsa iqembu ngokuhlonipha into eyenza ingxenye yengubo yanamuhla ePuerto Rico. Futhi imikhosi engcwele ye-patron idlala indima ebalulekile lapha. Wonke umuzi wasePuerto Rico unomunye, futhi abaningi ngokwemvelo bahlanganyela isanta efanayo.
Leli khalenda libonisa uhlu olugcwele lwabantu abagubha ukuthi nini nokuthi nini. Njengoba uzobona, uMoya oNgcwele uJohn uMbhapathizi ungumgcini ohloniphekile wamadolobhana ambalwa, kodwa akekho ogubha ngokuziqhenya nokulinganisa ukuthi inhlobonhlobo iletha.
Imikhosi eMkhosini
Ngenkathi umkhosi, empeleni, ususelwe emasikweni amaKatolika esiqhingi, kunamaphuzu ambalwa avelele e-folkloric awahlukanisa. Umcimbi owaziwa kakhulu ngempela kwenzeka ebusuku ngobusuku olwandle oluzungeze lesi siqhingi. Njengoba phakathi kwamabili usondela ngomhla wama-23, uzothola abantu bendawo babuthana ogwini. Ngesikhathi sokushaywa phakathi kwamabili, inkambiso ibonisa ukuba uwele emuva emanzini izikhathi ezingu-12 zenhlanhla. Lokhu ngandlela-thile inhlobonhlobo yenhlanhla yonyaka wonke, futhi isebenza njengenhlangano engekho emthethweni yomkhosi.
Njengemikhosi eningi yama-patron, uMkhosi we-San Juan Bautista uqala esontweni futhi uhamba emigwaqweni. I-San Juan Endala iba iphathi lomgwaqo ovulekile nezixuku ezenza idolobha elidala, izidumbu, zihlala umculo we- bomba y plena , ukudansa nabantu abagqoke izingubo zendabuko ezimibalabala ekubonisweni okugcwele. I-Vejigantes ihlale iyingxenye ye-pageantry, ngokuvamile ku-stilts ukwengeza umphumela omncane kakhulu kubonwayo.
Futhi ukukhonjiswa kweNkosi neNdlovukazi yenhlangano kwenzeka njalo ngonyaka.
Yiqiniso, akukho ukuhleleka, iqembu noma ukugubha ePuerto Rico kuqedile ngaphandle kokudla, futhi uzothola izikhumulo zokudla nezindawo ezitholakalayo zendawo ezitholakalayo. Kungumkhathi ofana nomkhosi, nemikhosi encane ezungeze isiqhingi ezenzeka ezinsukwini eziholela phambili futhi zilandela i-24. Kodwa akungabazeki ukuthi iqembu elikhulu lenzeke eSan Juan. Kuyindlela enhle kakhulu, enemibala, enesihe futhi eyingqayizivele yokugubha isiko lendawo.
