Everything is possible in Granada , including your employer never existed. Let me explain. Today the church celebrates the day of San Cecilio , co-patron of Granada , but it happens that there is considerable doubt about the existence of this alleged apostolic man who is credited with the evangelization of Roman Ilíberis predecessor of this city.
The March 25, 1588, to demolish the tower of the mosque also called Torre Turpiana appeared a leaden box closed and covered with bitumen containing among other relics a parchment written in Arabic, Castilian and Latin. In this scroll speaks of a prophecy of St. John Evangelist about the end of the world, apparently translated into Castilian by an Arab Christian named Cecilio, Granada bishop, who added a comment in your language. Complete with the statement in Latin by a priest who tells how San Cecilio at death's door entrusted this box and all its contents to hide it from the Arabs in a safe place.
Redondo, right? Well, the thing does not end there.
In February 1595, a treasure hunter who stirred up the hill ruins Valparaiso, find a lead sheet written in Arabic, which speaks of the martyrdom of San Mesitón under Emperor Nero . Raining and wet, the archbishop of the city, D. Pedro de Castro , enthusiastically launches excavate and they appear on up to 22 books written in lead sheet narrating the martyrdom of San Cecilio , his disciples San Patricio Setentrio and and other holy men who are members of the martyrdom of sI Granada
Pedro de Castro are the promises very happy, but there are dissenting voices, like the Orientalist scholar Benito Arias Montano , are not clear on this issue and the controversy runs throughout the seventeenth century, until in 1682 Pope Innocent XI declared false and heretical the lead books "not only to contain doctrines opposed to Scripture and applications Church, but by the remnants of Mohammedanism and reminiscences of Quran (Rosendo Macías Baldomero)
So much for history , but what interests us now is why This shed was set up false books and scrolls in which, perhaps even invented the figure of San Cecilio .
Very simple. At that time, the Moors of Granada, whose ancestors converted to Christianity forced by Cardinal Cisneros, were persecuted, neglected and scrutinized his "cleaning blood ", so afraid of being expelled from land that was theirs for generations, conceived the show in which characters of Arab origin were involved in the birth of the Christian church in Granada . So, that early Christians did not earn one.
Which brings us directly to Granada today up to the seven hills of Sacromonte Abbey to worship the holy and eat green beans, codfish cakes salaíllas . The relationship of San Cecilio with beans, cod cakes and tortilla Sacromonte need a thorough study and overflows the scope of this article.
Dedicated to Ernesto , whose study of the Moors be an example of thoroughness and good work on the Web
