Comments About the Book "On the Road South"
This title has just published his first literary work, the Fr. Edduar Molina Escalona, \u200b\u200bofficial historian of Canaguá in Southern Peoples Merida. Sponsored by the ULA edited out of the workshops beautiful university worthy of the content format, filled with photographs of ombudsmen and landscapes of the mountains. In a sober but elegant, with touches of erudition, takes us through the Peoples of the South to tell its origins, its traditions, its ancient history and new. Reading it reminded me of my first years of priesthood I met a mule across the region. It was in the last pastoral visit of Archbishop José Humberto Quintero, fifty years ago, when accompanied by Fray Indalecio P Garcia Santibanez and Redemptorist, spent two months in evangelizing those peoples. It was then wild life and very few modern resources covering the generosity of the people and the P Edduar able to express in documents and canagüera childhood experiences. In my collection of anecdotes I remember arriving at Guaraque, the southern door, the pastor had prepared a greeting to the Archbishop and a beautiful young woman with panache and started reading it instead of saying excrementísimo Excellency Archbishop said, and then said: very nice accompaniment, 10 pavonia us young clerics. Religiosity, the chronicler informs us, comes from the Augustinians but it is an unforgettable work of P Noguera Adonai, whose name now holds a parish and the Archbishop Chacón Municipality. He was famous then the team of Henry P Moreno, P. Barillas and Alarcon until it was "the hero of the mountain" P. Eustorgio Rivas, who led the first jeep and the radio and discovered the Caparo, which left us narratives in several books, citing the author of his predecessor in the writings of people surmerideños. Eustorgio Aricagua native was my first parish Ditches and El Morro, which closed the priests adventure runners, carrying the first jeep Cayapa as community work, as did the P Crescencio Mucutuy Parra, P Arias in Pueblo Boanerges New Uzcátegui in El Morro. Mons Marquez on several occasions has expressed a desire for recognition in these cures bronze villagers whose stories are attached to the "Tales of Nono" Ramon Sosa. Among them is a boy who looked after the mules Bobito and brought the Jeep to get some grass to eat at night, and of course I noticed that also urinated on the distilled water radiator. I could not escape the pen of the chronicler canagüero Noguera Chanito figures and their relatives and Orlando Naphtali who gave luster to the land as regional authorities, diplomats and famous entrepreneurs. Father tells interesting things Edduar about the customs and traditions of indigenous peoples in times of Christmas and Easter in art and culture, dishes, music and poetry peasant. And reminds the P Castillo and Manuelito, I remind you that Capurí not forget a young priest and crazy it was crucified on Good Friday and from the Cross preached the seven words, nor the pilgrimages of the Virgin of Fatima with Bishop Pulido sick and mystical parranditas family home and Molina Sosa, whose members are officials in this city famous for the Knights. Alexis Montilla ever told me about a possible movie of these people with these adventures and landscapes that could give new trophies, and give us new reasons to attract many tourists. A thousand congratulations to P Edduar and many thanks for that gift in my golden jubilee of priesthood. Mérida, November 2008
