 Tue, 12 Dec 07:20 PDT Dec. 12: Miracle of roses (1531) http://www.rightreading.com/daybook_pages/december-2.htm#12 The Virgin of Guadalupe effects the miracle of roses. (See December 9 for the full story.) Each year, millions of the faithful will gather on the anniversary of this day for processions, prayers, songs, dances, and fireworks to honor "La Reina de México" (the Queen of Mexico). Although her name is Spanish, her appearance is indigenous.She is a pervasive Chicano/Mexicano symbol--Richard Rodriguez calls her "the unofficial flag of Mexicans.'' Gloria Anzaldua observes that in her role as protector of Mexico, the Virgin takes on what is conventionally a male role. Her antecedents lie in the pre-Columbian traditions of Mesoamerica. Like the goddess Tonantzín, on whose temple her church was built, Guadalupe is associated with the moon (she is depicted standing on a crescent moon), and unlike other depictions of the Virgin, she stands alone, without the Christ Child in her arms (instead she is often represented as pregnant). Guadalupe is both indigenous and Spanish, both secular and sacred--she is mestiza, like most Chicanos and Mexicans

 Tue, 12 Dec 07:20 PDT Dec. 11: A mania for kaleidoscopes (1769) http://www.rightreading.com/daybook_pages/december-2.htm#11 David Brewster is born in Jedburgh in the Scottish lowlands. In 1816 he would invent the kaleidoscope based on principles of reflective symmetry. The instrument would cause a sensation. According to Peter Roget (yes, the Thesaurus guy), "In the memory of man, no invention, and no work, whether addressed to the imagination or to the understanding, ever produced such an effect." The Brewster Society webpage adds, "A universal mania for the instrument seized all classes, from the lowest to the highest, from the most ignorant to the most learned, and every person not only felt, but expressed the feeling that a new pleasure had been added to their existence."

 Sun, 10 Dec 17:20 PDT Dec. 9: Miracle of the Virgin of Guadalupe (1531) http://www.rightreading.com/daybook_pages/december.htm#9 Ten years after the fall of the Aztec capital of Tenochitlan to Hernán Cortés (1521), Catholic missionaries are well along in their efforts to follow the military conquest with a religious one. One of their converts is a young man to whom they have given the name Juan Diego. On this day, on his way to mass, he encounters a vision of a dark-skinned woman (on the site of an Aztec temple--destroyed by order of the bishop--dedicated to Tonatzin, earth godess, mother of the gods and protectress of humanity) . Addressing him in Nahuatl, she calls him "my son" and identifies herself as the Virgin Mary. She wants a church built, but unfortunately Juan Diego is not one empowered to make such decisions. On December 12 (where her significance is briefly discussed), however, he encounters the virgin for a second time, and she advises him to pick some roses and take them to the bishop. Imagine the astonishment when he drops the roses to reveal a perfect image of the virgin on the cloak to which he had them pressed! Needless to say, the bishop orders a church built on the site of the former temple.

The Miracle of Guadalupe is officially recognized by the Vatican in 1745. The image of the Virgin never fades from Juan Diego's mantle, which is subjected to extensive analysis over the years, confirming that it dates from the 16th century, but leaving the nature of the image a mystery.

 Sun, 03 Dec 20:30 PDT November 27: Poisoning the King (1936) http://www.rightreading.com/daybook_pages/november-3.htm#27 It is revealed that on January 20 the royal physician had administered lethal injections of cocaine and morphine to King George V, so that his death would appear in the morning Times rather than in the less distinguished evening papers. George was an crusty old fart who was oddly beloved in his later years by the Brits. As a young man he was mainly charged with keeping his older brother Albert Victor (Eddy) out of trouble.

While Eddy, as the older son, was sent to Cambridge, George had little education and is not known to have read a book as an adult. Poor Eddy was bisexual, which just wouldn't do in his position. In 1889, he was barely kept out of a court case involving a gay brothel. The queen decided to marry him off to his second cousin once removed, Princess Victoria Mary (May) of Teck. It is doubtful that Eddy found this an appealing prospect; in any case, he died of pneumonia a few weeks before the wedding. As George was now second in line to the throne, it was he who would marry the still available princess. After the wedding, he devoted himself to shooting and stamp-collecting. He is said to have personally killed a million birds and to have filled more than 300 albums of stamps.

King Edward VII died in 1910. After coronation in India, George went off to shoot tigers. He would return to a volatile England that was tiring of the monarchy. In 1914, the royal family was widely criticized for its German connections (Kaiser Wilhelm was one of George's cousins). H.G. Wells slammed George's "alien and uninspiring court." The King responded by changing the family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the more English-sounding Windsor.

Another cousin, Csar Nicholas II of Russia, also caused George problems when he requested asylum in Britain. Fearing for his own crown, George denied the request, and Nicholas and his family ended up being shot by the Bolsheviks.

The first step in reviving George's popularity was a 1932 Christmas radio broadcast that was scripted by Rudyard Kipling. Thereafter, the king's rants against jazz, cocktails, short skirts, and motorcycles were received with bemused head-shaking by his subjects.

 Sun, 26 Nov 17:50 PDT November 26: La Cicciolina (1951) http://www.rightreading.com/daybook_pages/november-3.htm#26 Politics makes strange bedfellows. Ilona Staller is born in Budapest, Hungary. The daughter of an official in the Ministry of the Interior, she too would go on a political career. In 1979 she would become a representative of the Italian Green party, and in 1987 she would win a five-year term in the Italian parliament representing Lazio, Rome. Her platform would call for nonviolence, ecological responsibility, a ban on nuclear energy, sexual liberation, and decriminalization of drugs. But as a political representative she would be ineffective--after her term in politics she should run for mayor of the town Monza and win only 1.5 percent of the vote. Staller's true talent would be marketing, and during the 1990s she would be notorious under her stage name of La Cicciolina ("the cuddly one"). "Touched by the Hand of Cicciolina," a song by the British group Pop Will Eat Itself, would be the unofficial anthem of the Italian World Cup matches. She would appear in pornographic films--"I was the first porn star to enter politics!" she would exclaim--as well as works by her ex-husband Jeff Koons.

As an 18-year-old Christian, Catherine bested the leading Roman philosphers in debate, converting several to her faith (whereupon they were killed). Emperor Maximinus, however, far from being converted, ordered her put to the spiked wheel of torture. The wheel could not conquer her any more than the philosophers had done--it was struck by lightning, and the emperor was forced to resort to the simple and effective expedient of beheading. Catherine is reported to have appeared to Joan of Arc.

 Sat, 11 Nov 23:30 PDT November 1: The Great Lisbon Earthquake (1755) http://www.rightreading.com/daybook_pages/november.htm#1 The Great Lisbon Earthquake, although not the strongest or most deadly ever, is still a pretty big one, estimated at nearly 9.0 on the Richter scale. It begins at 9:30 AM and lasts ten minutes (in three distinct jolts). The epicenter is in the Atlantic Ocean, about 200 km WSW of Cape St. Vincent. A devastating fire following the earthquake destroys a large part of Lisbon. That being a seafaring city, many of its residents seek safety in ships after the earthquake, but sometime after 10:00 a series of tsunamis swamp the coasts not only of Portugal but also of France, Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Madeira, and the Azores, and even across the Atlantic in Antigua, Martinique, and Barbados, dragging many people out to sea. The earthquake has a profound affect on European art and literature.
