The Puerto Rican Jesus

[Don Jibaro Barbanegra]

The Puerto Rican Jesus by Don Jíbaro Barbablanca Is Jesus Christ really part of the Puerto Rican Culture or is He just an Icon at Easter and Christmas?  have always said that a Boricua born in the North Pole is an Esquimo... he's still a Boricua. The place of birth only makes you a citizen of that place, nothing more and nothing less. I'm proud of Jesus... whether He had been born in Puerto Rico or the North Pole. ...but God wanted Him in Israel. Me? I was born in 60 years ago in San Juan but was raised in Bayamón, when Bayamón was little, not the Metropolis that it is today. No, Clark Kent doesn't live there. IF YOU VISIT any town in Puerto Rico, most likely you'll see a church in the town's main plaza. Inside that church, for the most part, Jesus will be the focus of the congregation's faith. It has been like that for hundreds of years since the Spanish Friars were sent to convert the inhabitants of the "New World". I didn't make it so, you didn't either, but that's just the way it was; and nothing is going to change that... not even statehood or independence, should it either ever come.
