Nino Fidencio
1898-1938
Jose Fidencio Sintora Constantino was born in Guanajuato 1898 and lived in Espinazo, Nuevo Leon in northeastern Mexico. He worked in the ways of the traditional healers, preparing medicines from herbs and plants, and in mysterious ways with the supernatural. By his mid - twenties thousands of people were coming to Espinazo. There they would camp out awaiting his attention and hoping to be touched by him. At he time of his death in 1938, he was Mexico's most famous curandero (folk healer).Even the president of Mexico then Madero came to visit Him.
Today there are countless curanderos who are mediums for the spirit of Nino Fidencio on both sides of the Rio Grande. The curanderos are referred to as materias or cajones and act as cajitas (little boxes) for Nino Fidencio's spirit. During the healing rituals they are endowed with the Nio's healing powers.
During four days in October (Nino's birth and death) and again in March (his saint's birthday), the small village of Espinazo swells with thousands of people who come to pay homage to Nio Fidencio and renew their faith and healing powers. They come from Mexico, California, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Idaho and Florida. The old materias, of Mexico and Texas still go back and forth across the border visiting misiones, sharing their traditional cures and bringing down the spirit of the Nino. The world changes all around them, but not so much here where history, culture, ritual and memory merge and the spiritual life looms over the material world.
I got in contact with one of His mediums when i was 12 and Moved to Espinazo NL,the year after to learn the Curandero Folk Healing arts, we used to be woken around 4 A.M. and made to walk without shoes up the mountain that is full of thorns and venemous snakes,scorpions etc. sometimes we had to walk on fire logs i had no idea this was supernatural other times we spent days inside caverns on the inside of the Mountains where "supposedly" ET artifacts had decended for thousands of years i remember like in dreams that some items looked like people had lived there but all was covered in Rock that looked like glass i had some pretty interesting experiences then as an Adult i returned to look for the caves but we were never able to find them also there under the Nino Guidance I saw the first levitation of a person with a movement of His hand i saw a man be moved about 4 feet up in the air twisted and then thrown into a pond that is supposed to be sacred , also when I was around 17 I had there my first Vission of Jesus ,at 19 when I was pregnant 3 mos. the Nino told me everything about My Daughter that so far has become true. I saw so many miracles and stuff that deffy all conventional thinking but most is experienced.
Makes you wonder how can you deny things you experienced and how close our Mexican traditions are to Eastern Indian traditions and Religious experiences to me has been a whole wonderful adventure and i give thanks for all i have learned.
