GONZALEZ PEREZ, Cándido  y  REYNOSO RABAGO, Alfonso. Juan Soldado, protector sobrenatural de los migrantes. Revista da FAAEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2011, vol.20, n.35, pp.217-228. ISSN 0104-7043.

Mexican workers have migrated to the United States from the middle of the ninetieth century. As a consequence of the deep religious tradition herded from Spain, they have been looking for supernatural support in order to attain their objectives: to cross the frontier in an illegal way so to get a job which would make possible to send money to their family. In this context was created an “unedited supernatural protector”, Juan Soldado, who during his lifetime had been a confessed rapist and murderer.

Palabras clave : Migration; Religion; Illegality.
