Abstract
Author's interest is focused
on the adaptation of Peruvians to their new cultural
setting in Chicago. A brief history of the procession in Lima is presented
first, followed by a description of the procession there in
contemporary (1968-1969) times. The paper then turns to a discussion of the Peruvian community in Chicago, focusing on
the Sr. de los Milagros observances. Cultural changes and
continuities of both practical and symbolic nature in the
observance of the procession will be discussed. I contend
primarily that the function of this procession, originally
an expression of religious devotion and concern about
e a r t hq ua ke s and serious illness, is increasingly taking on
in Chicago the characteristics of a demonstration of
Peruvian national/ethnic identity.
