San Silvestre It is acclaimed for its power of protection and for how much it helps when having problems with bad people, enemies or with those who wish us evil, for the protection of the home and warding off evil.

The renowned holy pope of the Catholic Church intercedes for us before our enemies and deflects the evil that was destined for us. For this reason, many are the devotees who pray to him and who wear his image as an amulet of good luck and protection.

If we want our home to be perfectly clean of magic and to be free from the works or spells that have been done against us, our family and those who are close to us, we must invoke this holy protector through prayer with great faith and without ceasing to trust in his great might.

A part of this powerful prayer goes like this:

Clear all the paths where I go, all the places where I have to step, of men and women of bad living, of liars, of malefactors, violent and harassing, gossipers, charlatans, envious and selfish, free my person, home and environment of injustices, of revenge and of all hatred and resentment.

History of San Silvestre del monte mayor, the Holy Pope

San Silvestre was the son of a Roman nobleman who became Pope early, due to the death of several of his predecessors in the chair of San Pedro and who had to face hostile conditions and complicated moments for the Catholic faith.

The Christian calendar commemorates the death of Pope Saint Sylvester I at age 65. He was Pope of the Catholic Church and had to grow up in the face of difficulties, because even in his youth he had to act as the highest representative of Christianity in a time of persecution and at the same time that Emperor Constantine I the Great decreed full freedom to practice everywhere the religion of Jesus Christ.

The legend of Pope Saint Sylvester

Legend has it that very young, Saint Sylvester buried another pope who had been murdered by pagans. For this reason the prefect of Rome imprisoned him, but just after taking his statement, the man died choking on a fish bone.

That death was taken as a divine sign for Silvestre to be released and, in his youth, he was made Pope on January 31, 314.

But Silvestre, the thirty-third pope of the Catholic Church, suffered the last periods of persecution of Christians and had to face numerous heresies.

It is said in the text known as the “Donation of Constantine” that the sovereign Constantine, repentant for his crimes and his paganism, prostrated himself before Sylvester and gave him the imperial crown, as well as the purple and other signs of the power of Rome. It was Sylvester who baptized him as the first Christian emperor.

San Silvestre is credited with the official institution of Sunday as the Lord's Day, to remember the Resurrection and is also considered the inspirer of the Iron Crown, which was made with a nail from the True Cross.

It is said that he supported priests and the faithful in need and instituted the first cathedral in Rome, called San Juan de Letrán. In addition, he is known as the first administrator pope, for the large amount of wealth donated by families converted to Christianity that he received and put in function of the construction of public works.

Carrera de San Silvestre, a global tribute to the saint

San Silvestre was the first pope who did not die a martyr, but did die a saint, on December 31, 335.

The Church includes his name in the litany of Saints and in his honor the "Pontifical Equestrian Order of Saint Sylvester Pope and Martyr" was proclaimed, also known as the Sylvestrine Order. Numerous events are dedicated to him.

The most popular are undoubtedly the so-called San Silvestre Races on December 31, which take place in different parts of the world such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Colombia and Guatemala.

It is said that, in its beginnings, the race was a way to welcome the new year by leaving everything bad along the way and asking San Silvestre for fortune.

San Silvestre and his syncretism with Osain, Orisha del Monte

In the process of transculturation associated with the slave stage, African slaves syncretized their deities with various saints of the Catholic cult in order to continue showing their devotion and practicing their cults without their masters knowing their African practices.

That is why San Silvestre syncretizes with Osain del Monte, Orisha who represents nature and its secrets.

Osain knows the properties of all plants, animals and minerals and is also a fortune teller and doctor of the Ocha (Santeria). Like Saint Sylvester, Osain is an Orisha highly regarded for his ability to do good.

The orisha Osain is the absolute owner of the mountain and of the vegetation that is gathered there and knows each herb and its particular ashé (energy). He is a hunter and celibate, guardian and consultant.
