El Señor - Hardcover

by Ronald Edward Rivas Lucero (Author), Clara Rivas Lucero (Author)

In El Señor, Ronald Edward Rivas Lucero embarks on a deeply personal journey sparked by a letter penned in Spanish by his grandfather, Lorenzo Rivas Velásquez. This letter becomes both his compass and key, guiding Ronald to decipher mysterious symbols etched on a sacred crucifix known as El Señor based on historical truths. His quest leads him into the heart of his family's history and the hidden layers of the Indigenous Otomí heritage that have long been obscured by time.

From the flames of the Mexican War of Independence in 1810 to the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, and finally to the migration northward to Colorado in 1922, El Señor has been a silent witness to generations of resilience, faith, and survival. Through painstaking research of fading records, whispered family stories, and spiritual reflection, Ronald pieces together a powerful narrative that honors the enduring spirit of the Rivas family.

At the center of this story is Ronald's deeply held hope to reunite El Señor with what he believes to be its rightful church in Zacatecas, Mexico, a sacred circle spanning century's. This journey is more than a historical investigation; it is a spiritual pilgrimage, a tribute to family, faith, and cultural identity.

El Señor invites readers to reflect on the legacies they carry, the stories waiting to be told, and the power of heritage to shape who we are. It is a testament to the strength found in honoring the past and the courage to reclaim forgotten truths.
