Maria de Agreda (1602-1665): A Spanish Nun's Unconventional Mission This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of Maria de Agreda, a Spanish nun and saint, as she preaches to Native American converts, despite remaining in Spain. Born in Agreda, near Saragossa, in 1602, Maria was known for her profound mystical experiences and extraordinary abilities. Despite living in a convent, Maria reportedly had visions and received messages from God, which she shared with the indigenous peoples of New Mexico. Her spiritual guidance reached them through a series of apparitions, which began in 1622 and continued for over forty years. Maria's mission was unique in that she never left Spain, yet her influence extended far beyond its borders. The Native Americans, who received her messages, reported feeling her presence and being deeply moved by her words. Her teachings helped to spread Christianity in the New World, and she became known as the 'Apostle of the New World.' This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the extraordinary life of Maria de Agreda. The image conveys the intensity of her connection to her spiritual mission, despite the physical distance between her and her audience. The Native Americans, depicted in the image, are shown with rapt attention, reflecting the profound impact of her words on their lives. Maria de Agreda's story is a testament to the power of faith and the enduring influence of spiritual guidance, transcending geographical boundaries and cultural differences. Her legacy continues to inspire people around the world, and she was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1622.
