 Legend of La Carreta de la Muerte in the City of Oaxaca.

 

He says that in those days, our notsoquiet city of Oaxaca lacked lighting and it was like the night that President López Mateos inaugurated the Temascal light: in the dark. And in the direction of the convent of Las Capuchinas "from above", that is to say, by La Soledad, by what is now Avenida Morelos, and near the temple of San José, an event worthy of recounting occurred:

There began to be talk in the neighborhood among the people of good faith and timorous, of a fright that used to appear in the Callejón de la Soledad: it was said the nuns who spent a few nights “watching” for penance a squeak, like that of a heavy cart that passed over the cobblestones of the narrow alley.
Another, a certain Doña Nila, a self righteous old woman, swore that she had leaned out of her window, to contemplate horrified before falling in a faint, of course, according to her children's certification- that it was a cart covered to the top with black crepes, dragged by black oxen and led by none other than death itself covered in a white shroud...
It is said that the night owls avoided heading and the people went home early, the heavy doors well barred to dedicate themselves to their prayers, and it is said that even the chaplain of the convent tried to conjure up, organizing a procession every Friday carrying an image of Jesus Christ carrying his cross with the help of the Cirineo to a hermitage that was exactly at number 8 of today's Morelos avenue, walking along the dark alley where it was said that terror appeared. Since then, what is now 3rd of Morelos was called "Street of the Cirineo".
