Description
-
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. This image depicts a Spanish parish priest holding a sermon for the indigenous peoples of Cusco. He is illustrated standing in the pulpit on the right side of the engraving dressed in ecclesiastic adornments. The indigenous people are seated on the ground in front of him. The young male at the front of the group is resting his head in his hand and appears to be bored. Others have their hands together in prayer. There is a light shining through the window in the background of the illustration. There is a dove flying in the light which represents the Holy Spirit. The priest delivers his sermon in the language of the natives of Cusco, Quechua. The priest’s dialogue is written on the image and reads, euangeliota sagrada escritura uillascayque churicona uaca uilcataca manam sermoyquicho chaytaca naupa machoyque chi yacharca camca bautisacca nam canque churi [My children, I will tell you about the gospel, the sacred scripture. They should not serve local divinities. Before, your ancestors lived like this, but now you are baptized children].
