In the twenties, in the town of Espinazo, Nuevo León, in Northern Mexico, José de Jesús Fidencio Síntora Constantino, better known as the “Niño Fidencio”, earned a reputation as a miraculous healer. Since 1938, the year in which he died, a few chosen people, known as Materias (Matter, in opposition to Spirit), or Cajitas (Little Boxes), began receiving the Niño’s spirit, thus perpetuating his charitable work as a healer. Currently, some espíritus de luz (Spirits of Light) are becoming manifest through other Materias or Cajitas, such as Margarita Catalán, Aurorita, the Santo Niño of Atocha and Pancho Villa, who come twice a year to the sacred sites in Espinazo -The Pirulito tree, the muddy waters of El Charquito, the Swing and the cemetery- and in solemn pilgrimage, climb up the Cuesta del Dolor path, all the way to the Niño’s grave, in order to fulfill the healing rituals for their sick ones.
