A San Fulano Feast Day

The Feast of Maximum Occupancy:

Homer came up with this one..."Hello, work? This is Homer Simpson. I won't be coming in tomorrow. Religious holiday. The, uh, Feast of Maximum Occupancy."  (Homer the Heretic episode)

Sounds like San Fulano to me.  What day is this on?  Any day, of course.

For the rest of us...

Hi patrons,

The seasons are changing, and that includes Hallmark cards and Starbucks paper coffee cups...

There is a season for the rest of us:  Festivus!  To offer that collaborative, democratic (ha!) site Wikipedia, I give you this to read.  Please be sure to train your eyes upon the MIRACLE section.

Festivus

December 23 is nearly upon us.

Thank you, David, for yet another representation of San Fulano. I understand that San Fulano will be quite active in El Tropezon this summer.

San Fulano, with extreme prejudice

Thanks, David, for this recent story that very may well be due to San Fulano. http://vimeo.com/23570086

New sightings of San Fulano

OK folks, san Fulano has been busy, well, as busy as he is gonna be.

First, Joe reported two sightings of San Fulano. The first: "I awoke and realized that I had just had a revelation, an idea of epic proportions. It was a miracle. However, it was worthless cause I went back to bed and forgot the idea." Joe conveys his message on this video snippet.

Second (sort of third) Susana had a San Fulano experience in Easter Island. She awoke and noticed (I have no idea how...) that many people wake up excited and with a hard-on. Waking up that way is quite a miracle. Until you realize that it is worthless...

A bit about San Fulano

San Fulano made himself known to a group of friends gathered in Punta Negra on the night of January 24, 2011. The group had gathered to enjoy a meal and the views of Punta Negra when low and behold, San Fulano revealed himself to two members of the group, Laca and Kurlie. Since that time, others have come forward to share their stories and devotion.

Make no mistake, San Fulano is a real saint. Some scholars would call this syncretization, and there is a strong body of scholarship that traces the folk saints in Latin America. When the Spanish conquest took place, local deities often merged with Catholic saints and the result was powerful. Perhaps the best example is with include Our Lady of Guadalupe. When Juan Diego revealed his cloak, the image was one of a miracle, or so noted the Pope at that time. I think it was Clement...

Today you can find all sorts of folk saints. Here in Lima, Sarita Colonia is powerful and El Senor de los Milagros has a large following. Other folk saints include San Muerte of Argentina and the child Jesus sightings in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia.

A readings list is included in this blog should you want to familiarize yourself with the culture and tradition of folk saints in Latin America and Peru.

guiame, San Fulano
