Joan of God

Sergio Umbria

He was born on March 8, 1928 in São Paulo
Very close to Chivacoa, Yaracuy state and had
The power to remove the spirits from the retainers of him
After the spirits pay their penances

At checkpoints they can come here to help and
Contact is made with them to come down, but
You have to know their customs. In Quibayo and the
World Juana de Dios Martínez is known for

Being the priestess of Queen María Lionza, whom
Spiritists and believers worship on the mountain of
Sorte, in Yaracuy. Belief is identity of a
Part of the name of this town

Her presence evokes wisdom and serenity. She received the
Tuvotomovil team dressed in a colorful gown
African. She had her head covered with it, and on it rested
Also some dark glasses. Her face reflects the experience
She acquired during the 59 years that she has dedicated to venerating
The legend of Maria Lionza

Joan of God has seen a lot. I am Cultural Heritage
From the Yaracuy state, she says. By her private altar—called
Also portal- politicians, soldiers, priests and artists have passed through
They come to see her from all over the world to consult her about the future
Get rid of evils and unblock the roads

Politicians have come here, especially at election time
She expresses her. In return, they have promised him everything from fixing the
Tracks that lead to La Montaña, up to an elevation that would go up to
The Las Tres Casitas sector, located in Chivacoa. When they win
They do not comply, she laments

She speaks softly, almost in a whisper. Suddenly she seems that she was
Telling secrets: Her heads bow so as not to miss a detail
Especially when she is asked about who will win the election
That's a secret, she barely hears him say. I stand in
Between the two and I just hope there is peace, he says

Juana de Dios Martínez, the chosen one of María Lionza, referring to
To the candidates. At 85, she has voted in every election
She assured that she even participated in the elections at the time of
Marcos Perez Jimenez. You have to vote. I already lost count of the
Times I have voted, she maintains

Juana de Dios does not miss one. To each one he sings his
Truths of her She narrates that once they called her from Caracas, when she
They took the monument of María Lionza from the Francisco Highway
Fajardo to the Central University of Venezuela (UCV)

There she met her rival, the priestess of the queen in Caracas
I had already seen her on television saying to get ready because
Chávez was leaving, and that blood would run through the streets of Caracas
She said that María Lionza sat on her bed and gave her her revelation
How can he say that when people live under stress, she says

Juana de Dios prepared to pour holy water on the statue
When the other stopped her, warning that they would both bless her image
Juana de Dios gave him a sudden stop: I told her: I'm very sorry
But you're a big liar. How are you going to say that María Lionza

She sat on his bed, if I live on that mountain and I haven't been
Seated. Also, how do you think María Lionza is going to raise the
Five floors of the apartment where you live. Huh? The one that will
Throwing the water is me

Juana has also been a victim of insecurity. She remembers that one
Once he was in La Montaña bathing two believers when
Three armed thugs arrived. The first one had a 38, the second
He had a straw and the third brought a knife

One of the guys told her: Don't worry, this is a robbery, old lady, take off
Those tendrils. And in that she, almost without flinching, replied: They are from
Gold Field, that is not enough for you even for a dick and marijuana. One of the
Choros tells the other: Chamo, don't mess with that lady, that's

Another Maria Lionza. The subjects robbed everyone except her
I would be stupid, to tell them that they were made of gold
