MUSEO VIRREINAL
1892 Ex Convento Franciscano y Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel (Zinacantepec) Estado de México
El museo cuenta con una valiosa colección de libros y misales, con los que se ha integrado una biblioteca.
De esta forma el ex-convento franciscano de Zinacantepec, que se supone se inició su edificación, antes de 1550 y su consagración por 1560 o 1570 aproximadamente, representa un valor histórico religioso que los habitantes del municipio mucho valoran como parte de su patrimonio y que el gobierno federal con fecha 6 de septiembre de 1933 lo declaró monumento nacional.
Museo de Arte Virreinal. Ubicado en pleno zócalo del municipio de Zinacantepec, al que se puede llegar por vía terrestre, partiendo de la ciudad. de Toluca, o de las vías terrestres de los pueblos circunvecinos, ideal para conocer la actividad evangelizadora de los franciscanos a los grupos indígenas.
Museo Virreinal de Zinacantepec
Zinancatepec, palabra de origen náhuatl que significa en este lugar se encuentra el ex-convento de la orden franciscana, establecido en la Nueva España en el siglo XVl, cuya construcción fue solicitada al virrey y por el encomendero Juan Sámano, quien estaba a cargo del gobierno de esta población.
El Museo virreinal fue inaugurado el 5 de Julio de 1980, por el entonces Presidente de la República mexicana, Lic. José López Portillo, con el objeto de difundir entre la población el ambiente y la vida conventual de los franciscanos durante la época virreinal, asimismo mostrar las características del arte religioso de los siglos XVI al XIX. El Museo cuenta con 18 salas, entre ellas el Bautisterio, en este espacio se encuentra la pila bautismal, la cual es monolítica, del siglo XVI y pone de manifiesto la mano de obra índigena, arte tequitqui, la pila presenta en su borde superior un cordón franciscano, más abajo una leyenda en lengua náhuatl qué explica: esta pila fue hecha en el año de 1581. Tiene cuatro medallones con temas bíblicos "La lucha del arcángel San Miguel con Luzbel", el "Bautismo de Jesús". La capilla abierta surge para contrarrestar la renuencia de los índigenas a celebrar sus cultos y ceremonias en interiores, los sacerdotes oficiaban las actividades religiosas en este sitio. El altar, consta de pinturas al fresco realizadas en el siglo XVI con imágenes de San Francisco de Asís. Las pinturas son de estilo renacentista. Anteportería, en la parte superior, encontramos el fresco del árbol geneológico de "San Francisco de Asís". La portería, da acceso al claustro bajo, conserva frescos de estilo mudejar (Arte Arabé). El Anterrefectorio, se aprecia un lavabo empotrado, de piedra, donde se aseaban antes de tomar sus alimentos en el refectorio. En la cocina, se encuentra una chimenea de estilo medieval y junto a ella tenemos la Alacena, donde guardaban semillas. Claustro Alto, aquí se ubican celdas dos de ellas eran para visitas importantes, pues son las más amplias, en ellas existen pinturas de los siglos XVI al XIX, casi todas ellas anónimas, excepto la pintura del artista Andrés de la Concha, en estos espacios también se conservan frescos del siglo XVI.
Sala de Virreyes, hay 60 óleos de los virreyes que gobernaron durante la época de la Nueva España, son copias de los originales que se encuentran actualmente en el Museo de Historia, en Chapultepec, su autor es Horacio. Biblioteca, se resguardan 4,800 volúmenes, todos escritos en latín y español antiguo, sus temas son religiosos, algunos conservan sellos de diversas órdenes religiosas.
El Museo Virreinal de Zinacantepec, fue construido entre 1550 y 1560, alguna vez fue el convento que albergó a los primeros hombres religiosos que iniciaron la evangelización entre el pueblo indígena a través del catecismo.En el interior del convento que desde el 5 de julio de 1980 funciona como Museo se puede apreciar la existencia de lugares especiales para la elaboración de pan, esto porque los franciscanos no sólo impartían la religión mediante los misales, sino que se apoyaban en la comida que compartían con el pueblo para que éstos se sintieran atraídos", dijo Vilchis.La construcción franciscana, de dos plantas terminadas con piedra negra, cal y tezontle, comentó, es uno de los tres centros más importantes de esta orden católica que arribó al Estado de México, los otros dos son Los Portales en Toluca y el que se encuentra en Metepec."Este ex convento y hoy museo, no sólo es importante por su arquitectura, por su capilla abierta, su anteportería, su portería, claustro bajo y sala de 'profundis' donde los franciscanos velaban a sus muertos o su anterefectorio y refectorio, que servían para mantener los alimentos perecederos en buen estado, sino también por la actividad cultural y religiosa que tenían."El acervo en cuanto libros que tiene este Museo, de un periodo de 1500 a 1800 lo hacen uno de las colecciones más importantes de libros franciscanos porque se tienen alrededor de 4 mil 800 títulos, que hablan sobre misales, vidas de santos y colecciones de otras órdenes como la de los carmelitas, dominicos y agustinos", afirmó.Actualmente el Museo Virreinal forma parte de los puntos más interesantes de esta región, junto con la Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, donde la gente realiza sus ceremonias religiosas como bodas, bautizos, quince años y presentaciones que forman parte de su vida diaria siempre apegada a la herencia de parte de los franciscanos
This piece of amber is from Chiapas (MX). I bought it from a miner, I carved and polished it. (that's my hobby).
Mexican Amber has this tipical cognac color, that makes it unique in the world. Under the sunlight it turns into a beautiful green and under UV lights it becomes very fluorescent.
But the most precious is the red one.. It's just fantastic!

URBAN EARTH is a project to (re)present our habitat by walking across some of Earth's biggest urban areas. The media distorts the way we see our world(s) with stereotypical images highlighting the most extremes of places. URBAN EARTH aims to expose what our cities really look like away from the bias and spin of commercial agendas.
URBAN EARTH: MEXICO CITY was created over three days in July 2008 and is made up of over 6,400 images... one for every 8 steps of the walk (roughly).
URBAN EARTH is a movement that anyone can join - just find an urban area and walk across it. URBAN EARTH is an opportunity for adventure, exploration, freedom, community activism and dialogue. Find out more at www.urbanearth.co.uk and join the URBAN EARTH social network.
URBAN EARTH ROUTES
Geography is more important than many people think. A random route across a city may expose many things, but an URBAN EARTH walk is special because it attempts to reveal what a city is like for the people who live in it. URBAN EARTH is not about following the tourist trail or tracking down the most extreme places... it is about finding normality.
The route was carefully designed to show the distribution of wealth within the city. For example where the poorest 20% of the population might occupy 14% of urban space, roughly 14% of the walk travels through these most deprived areas. The length of the walk is also propotionate to the size of the city. Where possible the route also travels through areas with the greatest population densities.
See the routes at www.urbanearth.co.uk
“In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: For the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.” STATE OF THE WORLD POPULATION REPORT 2007

~ Nuestra vida y destino no son verdaderos,
ni hemos venido aquí para ser felices,
Vivimos en necesidad y el amargo sabor de las derrotas nos alimenta;
hemos venido para vivir en angustia y dolor, la tierra es una casa prestada,
no es la casa de los hombres y debemos, pronto, abandonarla.
En como una pintura nos iremos borrando, que igual que los libros nahuas, hechos de color y figuras que desaparecen,
Los hombres desapareceremos consumidos por el tiempo.
nada podemos contra él, pereceremos e ingresaremos a la casa de los muertos,
sintiendo, como en la vida, la tristeza eterna de los que la habitan ~
~~~ No lloremos a los que desaparecen, igual destino nos espera. Feliz aquel que puede gozar de las flores y de los cantos porque son alegría ~~~

Panteón San Francisco principal de la Cd. de Acapulco Guerrero México, ahora ya cerrado, y para ahuyentar a la gente se cuenta que en él existe una gran boa escondida entre las lapidas, con dificultad me permitieron entrar y con mi perro un fox-terrier (ratonero), afortunadamente ni una vivora encontramos, pero si antiquisimas tumbas de una arquitectura muy especial.
