Corazones de Milagritos hold significant importance within Mexican craft and culture. These hearts are small ornaments or wearable amulets, typically made of metal or wood and painted in vibrant colors. They represent wishes, dreams, or hopes and are deeply linked to the practice of seeking ‘a miracle’ in Mexican culture.
They are small amulets, typically heart-shaped, used in Mexican culture to symbolize desires, hopes, and prayers. These objects are part of a broader tradition of milagritos, offered as symbols of gratitude or requests for divine help.
The origin of these amulets dates back to the colonial era in Latin America when Indigenous and Catholic practices merged. These amulets are made of metal, wood, or even wax and are used in religious ceremonies, placed on altars, or worn as pendants. Hearts, in particular, symbolize the deepest desires of the human heart, such as love, health, prosperity, and protection.
The new workshop is designed for groups and incentive travelers. It offers a cultural activity that can be incorporated into team-building or leisure agendas. During the workshop, guests can create their own milagrito heart while enjoying a private picnic. There will also be a bar serving authentic Mexican cocktails and mocktails. The intimate setting allows participants to infuse their creations with personal intentions and take home a meaningful memento of their stay.
This workshop is a creative experience and an opportunity to immerse oneself in Mexico’s rich culture and traditions. It adds to the extensive cultural experiences available for adults and children at our Luxury All-Inclusive resort, ensuring a magical and memorable stay.
Without a doubt, Corazones de Milagritos is a testament to Mexico’s rich blend of religious and cultural traditions. Their use reflects deep spirituality and the desire to connect with the divine, offering a tangible means to express faith, gratitude, and hope.
Exploring this tradition in workshops like the one offered by Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit allows participants to create a meaningful object and immerse themselves in a cultural practice integral to Mexican spiritual life for centuries. What wish would you make for your Corazón de Milagritos?
