Sumario:The following paper seeks to analyze how the Society of Jesus adopted the symbols and sociocultural representations that religious orders before they had taught in the bishopric of Michoacán. From these symbolic and representative elements, the Jesuits inserted themselves into Tarascan society as continuators of the religious and teaching project of the first bishop of Michoacán, Vasco de Quiroga. This can be seen in the chronicle written by Father Francisco Ramírez in 1587, where he reinterprets the process of evangelization of the Tarascan empire and unites the Jesuit work with Quiroga's project to superimpose the work of the residence of Patzcuaro on top of the Jesuit college of Valladolid.
