Argentina, the second largest country in South America, known for being the home of the great tango musician Carlos Gardel, as well as the birthplace of Quino’s cartoon comic, Mafalda.

Argentina has a great diversity of population, not only European, but also a vast number of indigenous peoples, such as: Mapuche, Toba, Guaraní, Diaguita, Kolla, Quechua, Wichí, Comechingón, Huarpe, Tehuelche, Mocoví, Pampa, Aymara, Ava guaraní, Rankulche, Charrúa, Atacama, Mbyá guaraní, Omaguaca, Pilagá, Tonocoté, Lule, Tupí Guaraní, Querandí, Chané, Sanavirón, Ona, Chorote, Maimará, Chulupí, Vilela, Tapiete.

Our Lady of Luján

Our Lady of Luján, also known as the Virgin of Luján, is considered the Patron Saint of Argentina. Her feast day is May 8th each year. The image depicts the Immaculate Conception and was made in the early 17th century in Brazil from fired clay.

The celebrations for Our Lady of Luján bring pilgrims to the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján from all over Argentina, as well as from around the world, thanks to the miracles she grants.

The story tells that Our Lady of Luján arrived at the port of Buenos Aires in 1630 on a ship from Brazil carrying two images of the Virgin. It was expected that the images would reach Sumampa, in the Argentine province of Santiago del Estero, but Our Lady of Luján had other plans.

They left Buenos Aires, embarking on their journey to their expected destination, Sumampa, making a stop at the banks of the Luján River. The following morning, when they tried to resume their journey, the animals froze, unable to move an inch. The caravan organized themselves to investigate, suspecting the load might not have been properly distributed.

Once they had reorganized, they separated the crates containing the image of the Virgin Mary. They were then able to move forward, but when they tried to move the crates, the animals froze again. It was then that Negro Manuel understood what was happening, and he explained that the Virgin Mary in one of the crates wished to remain there. So, they opened one of the crates and found the beautiful image of the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of the Immaculate Conception.

This was the miracle, and from then on, everyone in the caravan venerated her, weeping with emotion at having witnessed the miracle of the cart.

 

Argentine Poetry

Esteban Charpentier

Never again will I die so lightly,

so outside my body, so unconscious,

as I once did in my sleep. Wislawa Szymborska

To say your name

To give it voice

To display it from the balcony, to hang flags and tablecloths on it

To take your name in your left hand

To draw it closer

To feel its weight, its abundance

To sing your name

To give it the cadence and rhythm of a sidestep

Of continuous vertebral time

To think your name

To measure it in silences

To give it a number, a shadow

To spell your name

To discover saffron and mustard in its farewells

To leave your name

To let it speak for itself, to occupy mine

To leap upon it and chew its dreams

So that after so much…

So that after everything…

It may be submerged in the blood of an anonymous destiny.

Esteban Charpentier is a poet born in Buenos Aires in September 1958. He is a lawyer, mediator, and president of the PIBES Foundation: For Equality, Well-being, Education, and Health. He co-hosts a radio program about poetry and literature called DENSERIO with Héctor Urruspuru.

Eva Perón

Where there is a need, a right is born.

Eva Duarte, better known as Evita Perón, was born in Los Toldos, Buenos Aires, in May 1919. She was an Argentine actress and politician. She became a crucial figure in Argentine political life after her marriage to General Juan Domingo Perón.

Undoubtedly, one of the most important achievements of Eva Perón’s political influence was the enactment of the women’s suffrage law in 1947, which granted all Argentine women the right to vote.

Argentina

Argentina, el segundo país más grande de Suramérica, conocido por ser la casa del gran músico del tango Carlos Gardel, así como cuna del cómic-cartón de Quino, Mafalda. 

Argentina cuenta con una gran diversidad de población, no sólo europea, sino también de una vasta cantidad de pueblos indígenas, como lo son: Mapuche, Toba, Guaraní, Diaguita, Kolla, Quechua, Wichí, Comechingón, Huarpe, Tehuelche, Mocoví, Pampa, Aymara, Ava guaraní, Rankulche, Charrúa, Atacama, Mbyá guaraní, Omaguaca, Pilagá, Tonocoté, Lule, Tupí guaraní, Querandí, Chané, Sanavirón, Ona, Chorote, Maimará, Chulupí, Vilela, Tapiete.

La Virgen de Luján 

La Virgen de Luján, más conocida como Nuestra Señora de Luján, es considerada la Santa Patrona de Argentina. Su fecha de celebración es el 8 de mayo de cada año. La imagen muestra la representación de la Inmaculada Concepción y fue realizada a principios del siglo XVII en Brasil con arcilla cocida. 

Las celebraciones para la Virgen de Luján traen a peregrinos a la Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Luján de todo el territorio argentino, así como del mundo entero gracias a los milagros que concede. 

La historia cuenta que la Virgen de Luján llegó al puerto de Santa María de los Buenos Aires en 1630 en un barco que venía de Brasil con dos imágenes de la Virgen. Se esperaba que las imágenes llegaran a Sumampa, provincia argentina de Santiago del Estero, mas el deseo de la Virgen de Luján era otro. 

Salieron de Buenos Aires emprendiendo el viaje rumbo al esperado destino Sumampa haciendo una parada al pie del río Luján. A la mañana siguiente, cuando quisieron retomar el viaje, al tratar de avanzar los animales quedaron paralizados, no podían dar ni un solo paso, de modo que la caravana se organizó para revisar qué pasaba, pues consideraron que a lo mejor no estaba bien distribuida la carga. 

Cuando reorganizaron todo, separaron los cajones con la imagen de la virgen, así fue que vieron que pudieron avanzar, pero al tratar de mover los cajones se volvieron a paralizar los animales, fue así como el Negro Manuel entendió lo que estaba pasando, y les expliqué que la Virgen de uno de los cajones deseaba quedarse ahí. Así pues, abrieron uno de los cajones y encontraron la bella imagen de la Virgen María Santísima en su advocación de la Purísima Concepción.

Así fue el milagro y de ahí todos en la caravana se pusieron a venerarla, lloraban de la emoción de haber sido testigos del milagro de la carreta. 

Poesía Argentina

Esteban Charpentier

Ya jamás volveré a morir tan levemente, 

tan fuera del cuerpo, tan inconsciente, 

como antaño en su sueño. 

Wislawa Szymborska

Decir tu nombre 

Darlo a la voz 

Balconearlo, colgarle banderas y manteles

Tomar tu nombre con la mano izquierda

Ir acercándolo 

Sentir su peso, su abundancia 

Cantar tu nombre 

Darle cadencia y ritmo de paso lateral 

De tiempo vertebral continuo 

Pensar tu nombre 

Medirlo en silencios 

Ponerle un número, una sombra 

Deletrear tu nombre 

Descubrirle azafrán y mostaza en sus adioses 

Dejar tu nombre 

Que se diga solo que ocupe el mío 

Que le salte encima y le mastique los sueños 

Para que después de tanto… 

Para que después de todo… 

Se sumerja en la sangre de un destino anónimo.

Esteban Charpentier es un poeta nacido en Buenos Aires en septiembre de 1958. Es abogado, Mediador, Preside la Fundación PIBES: Por Igualdad, Bienestar Educación y Salud. Conduce con Héctor Urruspuru el programa de radio sobre Poesía y Literatura llamado: DENSERIO.

Eva Perón

Donde existe una necesidad nace un derecho

Eva Duarte, más conocida como Evita Perón, nació Los Toldos de Buenos Aires en mayo de 1919. Fue una actriz y política argentina. Formó parte crucial de la vida política en Argentina después de su matrimonio con el General Juan Domingo Perón. 

Sin duda uno de los más importantes logros de la influencia política que tuvo Eva Perón fue la promulgación de la ley de sufragio femenino, en 1947, en la que se le otorgó el derecho a todas las mujeres argentinas para votar.
