This is going to be a great lecture.
Then, the following day, we have a road trip to the Chobshi ruins to experience the Inti Raymi celebration!
Since Pre-Columbian times, Inti Raymi is celebrated every year during the summer solstice in the indigenous communities of Ecuador. Worshipping the sun is a very ancient ritual practiced for centuries in the Andean world, especially by the Inca culture. During colonialism, the ceremony started to experience variations through Christian cults. In this salon, we will explore the origin of the ceremony and the current variations and symbolism and its synergy with the Christian celebration, Corpus Christi.
