Ambos volcanes son los protagonistas de una de las leyendas más conocidas de México, La Leyenda de los Volcanes cuyo relato se presenta a continuación.
La siguiente imágen muestra a ambos volcanes en su espledorosa plenitud desde la carretera vía Morelo desde Ciudad de México .
Popocatépetl is an active volcano and one of the highest in Mexico at 5500 meters above sea level and the Iztaccíhuatl volcano which is a seismically active volcano so it should not be classified as a dull volcano and it has 5,747 meters .
Both volcanoes are the protagonists of one of the best-known legends of Mexico, The Legend of the Volcanoes whose story is presented below.
The following image shows both volcanoes in their splendid fullness from the highway via Morelo from Mexico City.
Volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl
Según estudios paleomagnéticos realizados al volcan Popocatépetl demuestran que este volcán puede tener mas de 730.000 años y Iztaccíhuatl tiene aproximadamente 1.09 millones de años.
According to paleomagnetic studies carried out on the Popocatépetl volcano, they show that this volcano can be more than 730,000 years old and Iztaccíhuatl is approximately 1.09 million years old.
Dicha leyenda tiene varias versiones pero para efecto de esta publicación presentaré una de las más conocidas.
La leyenda relata a un guerrero cuyo nombre es Popocatépetl del náhuatl popo-ca "que humea" y te-petl "montaña o monte".
Y en el caso del nombre de la princesa Iztaccíhuatl del náhuatl Iztac, "blanco" y cihuatl "mujer", debido a que la imagen del volcan simula a una mujer dormida, que se encuentra cubierta por un manto blanco.
Around these two volcanoes there is a legend known as the Legend of the Volcanoes, Popocatépetl and The Sleeping Woman and / or The Legend of the volcanoes in love.
This legend has several versions but for the purpose of this publication I will present one of the best known.
The legend relates to a warrior whose name is Popocatépetl from the Nahuatl popo-ca "that smokes" and te-petl "mountain or mount".
And in the case of the name of the Iztaccíhuatl princess of the Nahuatl Iztac, "white" and cihuatl "woman", because the image of the volcano simulates a sleeping woman, who is covered by a cloak White.
Con el permiso del cacique la pareja se preparaba para realizar la boda cuando los ejercitos enemigos atacaron y entonces el cacique designó liderizar la misión a Popocatépetl.
Popocatépetl y Iztaccíhuatl se prometieron amor y la princesa le juró que lo esperaría a su regreso y el padre de la princesa se comprometió que a su regreso lo recibiría con una gran celebración para concederle la mano de su hija si triunfaba en la guerra.
Luego de transcurrido un tiempo otro guerrero rival de Popocatépetl que estaba celoso del amor de la princesa, llego a donde la princesa para darle una noticia falsa de que Popocatépetl había muerto en combate.
Tras la noticia recibida la princesa cayó en una depresión y no comía, al poco tiempo murió.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago the chief of the Tlaxcaltecas made the decision to fight against the Aztecs for the freedom of his people, this chief had a beautiful daughter, Princess Iztaccíhuatl, who fell in love with one of the bravest young warriors and handsome of the town called Popocatépetl.
With the chief's permission the couple was preparing to perform the wedding when the enemy armies attacked and then the chief appointed to lead the mission to Popocatepetl.
Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl promised each other love and the princess swore to him that he would wait for him on his return and the princess's father promised that upon his return he would receive him with a great celebration to grant him the hand of his daughter if he succeeded in the war.
After a while, another rival warrior of Popocatépetl who was jealous of the love of the princess, came to the princess to give him false news that Popocatépetl had died in combat.
After the news received, the princess fell into a depression and did not eat, soon died.
Una vez culminada la tumba, agarró a la prinesa en sus brazos y la llevo a la cima de la montaña, tras darle un beso póstumo coloco una antorcha humeante y se arrodillo frente al cuerpo de su amada, prometiendole velar su sueño eternamente.
Esa es la imágen que se visualiza de los dos volcanes cubiertos por la nieve.
Upon the return of the victorious Popocatépetl hopeful of meeting the princess, he found the news of the death of his beloved, the pain was such that he was walking senselessly through the streets for days and then returned to order a huge grave to be made for his beloved. princess made with ten enormous hills that were accumulated forming a great mountain.Once the tomb was completed, he grabbed the prinea in his arms and carried her to the top of the mountain, after giving him a posthumous kiss, placed a smoking torch and knelt in front of the body of his beloved, promising to veil his dream forever.
That is the image that is displayed of the two volcanoes covered by snow.
