Municipio de Jayuya – EnciclopediaPR

El municipio de Jayuya fue fundado en 1911. Es conocido como la “Tierra de Altura”, “Pueblo del Tomate”, “Pueblo de los Tres Picachos”, la “Capital Indígena de Puerto Rico”, el “Mirador de Puerto Rico” y la “Meca Artesanal”.

El municipio autónomo de Jayuya está ubicado en la región central de Puerto Rico y comprende 39 millas cuadradas. Está compuesto por los barrios: Jayuya-Pueblo, Coabey, Collores, Jauca, Jayuya Abajo, Mameyes Arriba, Pica, Río Grande, Saliente, Veguitas y Zamas. De acuerdo al censo del 2000, tiene una población de 17,318 jayuyanos.

Jayuya, también, se caracteriza por sus monumentos indígenas: La Piedra Escrita y la Piedra Tibes, ubicadas en el barrio Coabey; La Tumba del Indio en Jayuya-Pueblo; el Mural Indígena del barrio Zamas, lugar donde se encuentra el petroglifo del Sol de Jayuya.

El Museo Arqueológico El Cemí exhibe piezas arqueológicas de las culturas indígenas de la Isla. Además, el municipio es la sede del Festival Nacional Indígena de Jayuya, una de las fiestas folklóricas más importantes que se celebra en la Isla. En ésta, se honra la memoria de los taínos.

Geografía

Jayuya limita con Utuado y Ciales al norte; con Ponce, Juana Díaz y Orocovis al sur; con Ciales al este y con Utuado al oeste. Se encuentra en la parte más elevada de la Cordillera Central, donde se elevan las montañas más altas de Puerto Rico. Su suelo es arcilloso y las elevaciones de las colinas arenosas varían entre 400 y 2,000 pies.

El pico de mayor elevación en la Isla, La Punta, posee 4,390 pies (1,338 metros) de altura. Otras elevaciones importantes son: el Cerro Magoyo, Piedra Blanca, Cerro Maravillas, Cerro Saliente y los Tres Picachos. Además, el mayor segmento del bosque de Toro Negro está ubicado entre Jayuya y Ponce, éste se encuentra a una altura de entre 440 metros (1,433 pies) y 1,338 metros (4,390 pies).

Fundación e historia

Se dice que la palabra “jayuya” proviene de la palabra indígena “Hayuya” que significa “lugar de guayos”. Otros historiadores sostienen que el nombre de Jayuya proviene del cacique taíno Hayuya. Su yucayeque estaba ubicado en este territorio. Alrededor del 1513 los españoles Alonso Niño y Alonso de Mendoza saquearon la aldea y vendieron los indígenas como esclavos.

Originalmente, se llamó ‘Arenas Jayuya’ a un barrio de Utuado, que más adelante se dividió en Jayuya Arriba y Jayuya Abajo. En el 1534, estaba ubicado en el camino entre San Juan y San Germán. Se dice que para el 1815 el territorio que hoy conocemos como Jayuya experimentó una gran inmigración de familias europeas, canarias y asturianas. Fue el año en que la Real Cédula de Gracias auspició la entrada de extranjeros siempre que profesaran la fe católica. Alrededor del 1878, se formó un poblado cerca de una ermita de Jayuya Arriba. En 1883, los vecinos lograron que a la ermita se le asignara el presbítero Tomás Rata. Durante ese mismo año, el rey de España, Alfonso XII, autorizó la construcción de la parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Monserrate.

Originalmente, la economía de Jayuya se basó en la cría de ganado caballar y vacuno. Luego, se introdujo el cultivo del café. La agricultura jayuyana se vio afectada grandemente en el 1899 con el paso del huracán San Ciriaco por la Isla.

En 1907, se construyó la primera carretera a Jayuya, abriendo camino al progreso del poblado. En 1910, la fiebre tifoidea devastó la población rural. El 9 de marzo de 1911, luego de muchas gestiones, el poblado de Jayuya logró que la Asamblea Legislativa de Puerto Rico aprobara la Ley No. 34, la cual creó el municipio de Jayuya, con los barrios de Jayuya Arriba o Pueblo, Jayuya Abajo y Mameyes Arriba. Estos fueron segregados de Utuado. Al momento de su fundación, contaba con 9,287 habitantes. Su primer alcalde fue Rosario Canales.

En 1925, se edificaron la Escuela Figueroa, al igual que otros edificios escolares en los barrios de Collores y Coabey. El hospital municipal se construyó en terrenos donados por Catalina Figueras. Tres años más tarde, el ciclón San Felipe devastó el pueblo de Jayuya. Este fenómeno tuvo como consecuencia una crisis económica que afectó el sector cafetalero.

En 1930, los barrios Coabey y Veguitas-Zamas, ambas divisiones de Jayuya Arriba y Jayuya Abajo, aparecen como parte de Jayuya. 18 años más tarde, la Junta de Planificación de Puerto Rico creó los barrios Collores, Jauca y Pica, formados de terrenos segregados de Jayuya Abajo. Además, eliminó el barrio Jayuya Arriba y de su territorio formó los barrios Río Grande y Saliente. A Veguitas-Zamas lo dividió en Veguitas y Zamas y la zona urbana fue ampliada.

Alrededor de 1934 se estableció en Jayuya un molino de azúcar, que luego se convirtió en la Hacienda Santa Bárbara; ésta cesó operaciones en 1948.

En 1950, Jayuya fue escenario de la revolución armada que se conoce como la Revolución Nacionalista del 1950. Dicha revolución fue dirigida por Pedro Albizu Campos y la jayuyana Blanca Canales, entre otros. Los líderes nacionalistas ocuparon el Cuartel de la Policía y la Oficina del Correo, proclamando la República de Puerto Rico. La Guardia Nacional intervino y tomó control de la rebelión.

Para 1976, la economía del municipio dependía de sus productos agrícolas: el café, los tomates, los gandules y los vegetales. El ganado vacuno y la manufactura, también, han sido actividades económicas importantes, así como el turismo interno.

Escudo
El escudo de Jayuya es un símbolo heráldico que representa el patrimonio cultural, histórico y social de este pueblo. éste tiene un fondo rojo que simboliza la convivencia y la confraternidad que caracteriza a los jayuyanos. En la parte superior del escudo, se encuentra una corona en forma de castillo o fortaleza, con tres torres que representan el carácter municipal del escudo. Debajo de ésta, centralizado en la parte superior, se encuentra una corona, símbolo del cacique Jayuya. En el centro se encuentra una faja de picos verdes con bordadura blanca, que representa los Tres Picachos, el verdor de los campos jayuyanos y a la patrona de Jayuya, la Virgen de la Monserrate (Monte Serrado).

The return of Islam to Puerto Rico (photo + video)

In modern times, Islam appeared in Puerto Rico in 1958 along with Palestinian refugees who arrived on the island as a result of the proclamation of Israel, but today, along with the Palestinian communities – Pakistani, Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian and others, the website mvslim. com writes.

Ponce Islamic Center / Source: en.wikipedia.org

According to the last census in Puerto Rico in 2007, there are a total of 5,000 Muslims on the island, including converts, which is 0. 1% of the population. The number of Muslims in the Hispanic community of Puerto Rico and other islands, in particular Cuba and the Dominican Republic, is growing every year. The Islamic population in Puerto Rico is expected to reach 5,300 (0.14%) by 2020, 6,200 (0.17%) by 2050, and 6,700 (0.22%) by 2100. These statistics were presented in 2012.

There are currently nine mosques in Puerto Rico. Masjid Montehidra and Masjid Vega Alta are the most active among them. The first of them was built in 1981 in the city of Rio Piedras and accommodated 200 men and 40 women. This mosque is located near the University of Puerto Rico, which was founded in the 1920s. The second mosque was built in 1992. Currently, it is the largest mosque on the entire island and can accommodate 1200 men and 120 women. The beauty of the mosque, which looks like a majestic palace, can be appreciated from the longest highway of the island. Another mosque is located in the center of the island, in the agricultural region of Jayuya. It is a small room for rent and can accommodate 25 people. The room became a mosque at 1993 year.

Most mosques have permanent imams. On the northeast coast, where tourism is well developed, in the city of Fajardo, a mosque was built in 1995 with a golden and blue dome. The mosque can accommodate 50 men and 15 women and is open during Ramadan. In the resort town of Ponce, there is another mosque, which was opened in 1997 and can accommodate 200 men and 30 women. Another mosque appeared in the west of the island in Aguadilla in 2002 and is designed for 50 people. It is usually used for Friday prayers.

One of the most active mosques on the island was built in Montejiedra in 2007. It is located in the southern suburbs of San Juan and accommodates 400 men and 50 women. The mosque operates the Al-Nur school, where children study Islam and Arabic on weekends. The mosque organizes events such as monthly barbecues, overnight camping trips and iftars during Ramadan. This mosque organized the training of Islamic scouts on the island in 2015. This happened for the first time since the 1920s, when the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of America were founded on the island. This mosque is currently visited by the largest number of Muslim converts in Puerto Rico. Women now make up the majority of Muslims. They convert to the Islamic religion and graduate through Islamic and Arabic weekend classes.

The Ninth Mosque was established in 2011 in Loiza, an eastern suburb of San Juan, which is also a tourism and recreation center. It can only accommodate 20 people and is not as well known as other mosques.

Islam is not well known in the Caribbean. It is currently in a process of awakening that began in the 1950s. It can be said that modern Puerto Ricans who convert to Islam are returning to a religion that was once practiced and then forgotten by their ancestors. While there are currently Palestinian, Pakistani, Egyptian and other communities in Puerto Rico, the new Latino-Caribbean Muslim community is continuously growing and in the spotlight. Thanks to this, a dagwa (Islamic call) is made to its own Spanish-speaking community from all over the island. Thanks to social media, Islam has been embraced by many Hispanics. Social media gradually informed locals about Islam, becoming both a source of knowledge about Islam and a critique of the idea of ​​Islamophobia caused by the media and lack of education.

Visiting the Muslims of Honduras

A mosque in northern Honduras attracts Muslims from all over the country. Its light blue walls seem to reflect the heavens. Here the best Islamic qualities are manifested – equality, brotherhood and love.

Honduras is a country of churches. Here are the Catholic Cathedral of Santa Rosa, the Cathedral of San Pedro Sula, as well as a huge number of churches. Crosses hang from people’s necks, rear-view mirrors, and decorate tombs in cemeteries across the country. Christianity, whether Catholic or Protestant, dominates the region.

But here, in the second largest city in the country, San Pedro Sula, there is a completely different religious sanctuary. The building of the sanctuary, half hidden behind palm trees, is not so easy to see at first sight. However, the domes covered with gold, directed upwards and crowned with crescents, unmistakably indicate what kind of building it is. This is also indicated by the quiet call to prayer that you can hear on a Friday afternoon. Welcome to the only mosque in San Pedro Sula and one of only two mosques in all of Honduras.

Factory owners from Pakistan, Honduran military generals who converted to Islam, and Cuban flaneurs are just some of the people who attend Friday prayers. The imam of the mosque named Mohammed estimates that there are about 1,500 Muslims in Honduras, although according to some studies, their number reaches 11,000. The Mosque of San Pedro Sula is visited by about 30 people every week.

Garifuna fisherman Arnaldo Hernandez lives three hours away in the coastal town of La Ceiba, from where he travels here every Friday for congregational prayer. He converted to Islam from Christianity 26 years ago.

Hernandez is one of the oldest members of the community: he was already a Muslim even before the mosque was built. “We prayed in a room next to the hospital,” he said after Friday prayers. In non-Islamic countries, it is quite common for Muslims to pray in temporary places, as there are no mosques. In cities across Italy, Muslims pray in warehouses and supermarkets; in Hong Kong, Muslims can be seen praying in a former car repair shop.

Latin America has the largest Arab population outside the Arab world. For many years, Honduras was the only Latin American country that did not have a mosque, despite the fact that 25% of the population of San Pedro Sula is of Arab origin. Now there are two of them: one in San Pedro Sula, and the other is smaller in the capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa.

“The penetration of Islam into Honduras is linked to waves of Arab immigration,” explains Rodolfo Pastor Fasquel, historian at the Museum of Anthropology and History of San Pedro Sula.

“In 1870, the National Railway Pact was signed with the British,” said Faskel, giving a tour of the museum. “It was a big fiasco, as the railroad never got through the mountains, but it did connect San Pedro Sula to the coastline. And as the city became an inland port, trade with the outside world took on special significance. “Goods came here, as well as immigrants from Europe, North America and increasingly from the Middle East. Arab migration took place in three stages: from 1895 to 1915, when the Ottoman Empire was going through a series of crises; from 1925 to 1940 after World War I; in the 1950s and 1970s, after it became easier to obtain visas.

The first two waves of migration consisted mainly of Christian Arabs. Reportedly, only 15% of the immigrants were Muslims. At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, most migrants arrived in Honduras from the Ottoman Empire, for which they received the nickname “turcos”. This misnomer persists to this day. After 19For 25 years, many Arab immigrants have arrived from Palestine, especially from the vicinity of Bethlehem. They were well educated, multilingual, and had strong social and business ties, thanks to which their community soon flourished. Despite the fact that it made up only 3% of the population of Honduras, the Arab community has taken a dominant position in the business, political and economic sphere.

Although today the Arab population is well integrated into Honduran society, many Hondurans view “los turcos” as land-owning oligarchs. In addition, their image is negatively affected by the presence of the Club Hondureño Arabe country club, located in the luxurious area of ​​​​San Pedro Sula, with an entry fee of $ 8,000 for an average monthly salary in Honduras of less than $ 300. Founded as a cultural space for the Arab community, the club hosts lavish, expensive festivities, which arouse natural resentment among native Hondurans. In addition, for a long time the members of the club had to be of Arab origin, but at 19In 1994, the club relaxed its rules, allowing anyone who could pay a membership fee to become a member of the club.

But even within the Arab community in Honduras, there are deep-rooted prejudices and tensions against Muslims. Asked if the Arab community thought that Syrian refugees should be given asylum in Honduras, one member of the club exclaimed, “No, thank God!”

The Honduran constitution protects freedom of religion, although the government officially recognizes only the Roman Catholic Church. All other religious groups belong to the category of religious associations and have fewer rights and privileges. Despite differences in rights and a generally high crime rate in the country, sectarian violence and discrimination are not common. “We never had a problem with racism,” says Mohammed, the mosque’s interim imam, who was born in Pakistan.

Muhammad invited us to participate in the prayer, which he led in two languages: Spanish and Arabic. The mosque is decorated like any other mosque: green carpets, golden Koranic verses. It’s cold inside. For the next hour, the men slowly slipped into the room and prayed. Several elderly people with swollen ankles sat on plastic stools.

“I started studying Islam on my own and gradually got on the path of Allah,” said Colonel Orlando Ayalla Hanyos. The Catholic-raised colonel spent the last nine years of his life commuting weekly to the mosque from his home in Tegucigalpa. “I have always been happy, but by converting to Islam, I have become even happier. You can call me Saif,” he added, pointing to his Islamic name.

Perhaps because the congregation is rather small, there is a real sense of camaraderie among the believers. After prayer, they laugh and joke around the mosque. Weekly dinners are hosted by Mr. Yusuf, a Pakistani Muslim who owns several factories and is one of the country’s richest men. Everyone contributes to the upkeep of the mosque – after prayer, an alms box is handed over. In this sky-blue Caribbean mosque, the best qualities of Islam seem to glow – equality, brotherhood and, of course, love.

“There is no difference between race and skin color. We are all brothers – this is the basis of Islam,” said Hernandez, a Garifuna fisherman. “It’s a real blessing to be a member of such a society.” (album)
