Pilar de la Luz is a
mystic, poetess, healer, and intuitive. I met Pilar many years ago at the
Flower of Life workshop given by Drunvalo Melchizedek. Pilar fascinated the
group with her knowledge of all things metaphysical and spiritual. Even though she wasn’t the leader of the
group, she was the Hierophant, Master teacher in her own right, lifting our
consciousness to higher levels. Today she is my quest blogger
sharing with us information about the Catedral de las Lejas. The Cathedral, like other sacred sites, is shroud in mystery. Welcome
Pilar.
La Catedral de Las Lajas
I went to the Catedral de las Lajas (The
Sanctuary of Our Lady of Las Lajas) in Ipiales, Narino, Colombia, South America
on a Pilgrimage when I was 15 and remember a shed where there were
countless memorials left about the many miracles, stories, plaques, canes that
occurred there. Pilgrims, many of them who were Inca Indians, tell
the story of an Inca Indian woman who carried a child of about six or eight years old
on her back on the way to till her fields. They stopped to rest. The
young Indian child, Rosa, who up to that moment
had been deaf and dumb (not my words but those used in the original story)
suddenly said: "Mother, look at the Mother," pointing to the cave
where she was seeing an apparition of Mother Mary . The mother did not see
the apparition that first time but later. You can read the entire
story at http://www.ipitimes.com/lle.htm
This beautiful image of Mother Mary,
painted on a rock on the flank of a mountain in a desolate land had
the delicate and regal features of an Inca Indian. Was it there from golden
ages past? Was it beamed on to the rock at that moment of the resurrection of the
child? Did some unknown artist climb up the gorge to paint Mary
there? No one knows. One remarkable miracle I heard about in my
long ago pilgrimage is that when they were building the cathedral along the
very rock where the painting appeared some construction debris hit the painting
and some damage was caused . Every fifty years they have to repaint
that small damaged missing portion (earthly paints don't last on
rocks forever!) But they never have to paint over the rest of the image as
apparently the extraordinary colors (which do not seem to be paint) penetrate
the stone at an enormous depth.
This is just one of the many precious
sites and stories of my little country.
The extraordinary gothic cathedral
was built at the beginning of the 20th century. No doubt in an important
point of the New Earth Grid. Let us this blessed solstice connect in love
to this extraordinary Colombian Cathedral.
