The European giants arrive at America

Said this, it is understood that the procession of the Corpus becomes "universal" and that its celebration was very popular.

And for this same reason, it evolves towards a parade of ostentation on the part of the dominant classes, structuring itself so that in her all the social elements participate and, as it could not be of another way, the representations of the civilian, religious and military society.

This so remarkable implantation agrees in the time with the European presence in America, where they disembark all type of elements interested in dominating the natives and turning them to "faith true".

Therefore it does not have to surprise that, along with the soldiers and the clergymen, it disembarked in that one continent the procession of the Corpus, like an element more for the demonstration and ostentation of the new power,… and with her the giants to us.

Of this form or it is documented that the giants march past in the procession of year 1530 in the city of Mexico and Guatemala “at the end of century XVI” or in Santiago of Chile year 1686 .....

Nevertheless the certain thing is that, within this universal phenomenon that is the giants, without a doubt that these figures already were presents when they disembarked the first European since very remote references exist, for example, to the figures “Shalako” of the Indians hopis, the denominated figure " the Palla" of some tribes of Ecuador or those that carry the Saraguro Indians in the South zone of this same country.
