guaranies and beauty..

San Ignacio , Misiones

I mentioned Jesuits architecture at previous.. here another kind of it, but not at Cordoba..
at northeast of my country, at Misiones province, it is San Ignacio.
Jesuits coming here found a good reception from the aborigines, Guaranies, living at rain forest., and worked together...
When they mentioned paradise, for example, the "savages" were every interested, as they had a concept for paradise very particular..
the earth without evil, la Tierra sin mal, they called it .. they believed paradise was at earth, while alive..
Those same "savages", even being nomads and due to that having precarious homes, were able to construct this beauty..
at this image the Façade of Church at San Ignacio Mini...
all that place was declared to be part of the Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 1984

Vi un cuento de la historia de los Guarani y los Jesuites en la pelicula "The Mission". Fui una historia muy triste, una historia de la tierra con mal.

evocative image...those Guaranies must have had a strong sense of la tierra sin mal to construct what looks like a once magnificent temple....still impressive even in a ruined state

The word savages was invented by the same savages that conquered almost all of latin america,the "Spaniards" !
The construction is of absolute beauty.
Big V for the savages ;-)

the other face of a hard truth, that of the persecution and the extermination of the indios guaranì, tupinamba, kayapò, jivaros, Nambikwara, Yanomami ............. that it continues still today and nobody if it notices some
