существующие вокруг одного из погребений на кладбище Колумба
в Гаване, столице Республики Куба. Амелия Гойри де Адот (в девичестве Амелия Гойри де ла Ос) была похоронена на этом кладбище в 1901 г. В 1909 г. на ее могиле был поставлен надгробный памятник, который стал объектом религиозного почитания и кубинцев, и приезжих из других стран. Паломники совершают определенный ритуал возле памятника и оставляют вотивные таблички с благодарностью Амелии, почитаемой как святая с именем Ла Милагроса. В наши дни легенда, сложившаяся вокруг этого погребения, активно циркулирует в интернете, трансформируясь и обрастая новыми деталями. Появляются и виртуальные практики поклонения, заметно отличающиеся от тех, что совершаются на кладбище.
The paper examines the legends and votive practices that exist
around one of the graves at the Colon cemetery in Havana, the capital of
the Republic of Cuba. Amelia Goyri de Adot (nee Amelia Goyri de la Hoz)
was buried in this cemetery in 1901. In 1909 on her grave a tombstone was
erected, which became an object of religious veneration for both Cubans
and visitors from other countries. Pilgrims perform a certain ritual near the
monument and leave votive tablets with gratitude to Amelia, worshiped
as a saint with the name of La Milagrosa. Nowadays, the legend that
has developed around this burial is actively circulating on the Internet,
transforming and acquiring new details. Virtual practices of worship are
also appearing, markedly different from those performed in the cemetery.
