Nina Religion, a shop selling Catholic articles, medicinal herbs, and objects purported to have miraculous qualities, such as oils, candles and soap. If you don't speak Spanish, you can communicate with the saleslady behind the counter with a combination of broken Spanish and hand gestures as you examine the various items on the shelves, a collection of small colored vials and cardboard boxes with soap bars, labeled with images and names of saints and descriptions of what type of ailment each cures. The mixture produces a unique aroma, combining the scent of spices with bath soap. Statues of saints sit on shelves around the shop.
You will come to understand that the old lady behind the counter is more than just a cashier, but more like a shaman. Bearing the torch of traditional practices passed on for generations immemorial, such healers must have been predisposed to understand the mystical qualities of Christian beliefs. You imagine that to her, the story of Jesus Christ rising from the grave and conquering death itself makes total and complete sense, beyond a doubt, a logical event in the development of the healing arts. With the arrival of Christianity in the New World, such traditional healers would have likely embraced those beliefs, not see them as diametrically opposed to what they have been doing, but rather a glorious confirmation of what they and their predecessors have believed all along - the power of faith to change and raise people from illness, the miraculous victory of good over evil. To her, the salvation that Jesus Christ brings energizes traditional practices, sanctifying oils, soaps, incense, candles, pendants blessed with the names of saints. Is it blasphemous to combine her Christian faith with traditional practices handed down over generations? Or does this world need more mystics like her who have the ability to understand, translate, and channel the deeper meaning of the inanimate external world?
Behaviors exhibited by mystics like her have generally been looked at as puzzling at best. Typically seen as enigmatic figures on the fringes of society, we have dismissed them as peculiar, or more aptly "weirdos". Mark opens his Gospel with a description of one of the most famous of these "weirdos."
"John wore clothes made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. He announced to the people, 'The man who will come after me is much greater than I am...'" (Mark 1:6-7).
John the Baptist understood the sanctifying waters of the Jordan River, the transformative act of washing oneself of sins to lead a righteous life thereafter. He prophesied and announced the coming of the One who would show humanity a new way to live - with love, truth, mercy, peace, and forgiveness. As he stood in the river wearing strange clothing on an even stranger diet, dunking people in the water and talking about saving those wishing to be saved, many of the establishment looked at John undoubtedly thinking, "This guy's kind of a weirdo." Little did they know...
