Dancer of the Fiesta de la Santa Cruz, Querétaro, Mexico

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Fiesta de la Santa Cruz (12 – 15 September) in Querétaro, Mexico, is a syncretistic religious celebration with processions and dances and many thousands of active participants from the entire region. Central location of the celebration is the church of La Santa Cruz (Holy Cross), the oldest Christian temple in Querétaro and site of a mythic battle between christianised and traditional tribes (1531). The elaborate head dresses of the dancers are very costly, and the feathers -- in absence of tradicional quetzal feathers dancers use feathers from pheasants, cocks, turkeys, parrots etc. -- are collected over a lifetime and handed down from one generation to the next.
Deutsch: Die Fiesta de la Santa Cruz (12. – 15. September) in Querétaro, Mexiko, ist eine synkretistische religiöse Feier mit Prozessionen und Tänzen und vielen Tausend aktiven Teilnehmern aus der gesamten Region. Zentraler Ort der Feier ist die Kirche La Santa Cruz (Heiligkreuz), die älteste christliche Kirche von Querétaro und Schauplatz einer mythischen Schlacht zwischen christianisierten und traditionellen Völkern (1531). Der kunstvolle Federschmuck der Tänzer ist ausgesprochen teuer, die Federn -- statt der traditionellen Quetzalfedern verwenden die Tänzer die Federn von Fasanen, Hähnen, Truthähnen, Papageien, usw. -- werden über ein Leben hinweg gesammelt und über Generationen in der Familie weitergegeben.
Español: La Fiesta de la Santa Cruz, que se festeja del 12 al 15 de septiembre de cada año en Santiago de Querétaro, es una fiesta religiosa con procesiones y danzas y una expresión del sincretísmo en México. Lugar central es el templo de la Santa Cruz, la iglesia católica más antigua de la ciudad y un lugar de suma importancia para la cristianisación de la región. Los penachos de los danzantes son muy costosos, las plumas -- en lugar de las tradicionales plumas del quetzal hoy se usan las del faisán, gallo, guajolote, loro, etc. -- se coleccionan a lo largo de toda una vida y se heredan de una generación a otra.
