 | A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on October 22, 2007. The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that the festival of Qoyllur Rit'i (pictured) in the Cusco Region of Peru commemorates events which included the transformation of a boy into a bush with an image of Christ hanging from it? | |||||||||

Name
[edit]Quyllurit'i doesn't mean "bright snow" in Quechua, it means "Star snow." "Quyllu" is a kind of potato described as "sandy." It doesn't mean "bright." "Quyllur" means star. The name apparently elides the second r for simplicity's sake. Reference Aulex Spanish/Quechua dictionary. I live nearby and talk to Quechua speakers all the time; all say Star Snow or Snow Star (Spanish style). None say Sandy Potato Snow.
GA Review
[edit]An extremely well-written and informative article. It passes all the GA criteria. I do have one slight issue with the article (but I will pass it anyway because it is minor), and that is the amount of red links in the text. I would get rid of them completely. Having red links doesn't really serve any purpose, because who knows how long it will take the non-existent article linked to be written. Unless you plan to write these articles in the near future, I would get rid of the links. Other than that, the article is very good. Zeus1234 09:25, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. As for red links, they are useful for planning purposes at WP:PERU. We'll eventually make them blue, don't worry. --Victor12 13:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Origins?
[edit]Why isn't this linked to the Corpus Christi festival?
And why aren't pre-Christian festivities like Carhua mita (the feast of drought, held at about the same time as the Qoyllur Rit'i) and the double feast of the disappearing and reappearing of the Pleiades (star cluster) (Pariacaca and Oncoy mita, symbolized during Qoyllur Rit'i when the statues of Christ and Mary great each other) mentioned?
This article barely scratches the surface...
