Our Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish: Nuestra Seora de Guadalupe), also called the Virgin of Guadalupe (Spanish:
Virgen de
Guadalupe) and a 16th century Roman Catholic icon depicting an apparition of the Virgin Mary. It is Mexico's
most
beloved religious and cultural image. Our Lady of Guadalupe is known in Mexico as "La Virgen Morena", which
means
"The brown-skinned Virgin". Our Lady of Guadalupe's feast day is celebrated on December 12, commemorating the
account
of her appearances to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City from December 9 through December
12,
1531.
The Virgin of Guadalupe is a cultural symbol of significant importance to the Mexican identity. The Basilica of
Our
Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City is the second most visited Roman catholic shrine in the world after the
Basilica of
Saint Peter in the Vatican.
According to traditional Catholic accounts of the Guadalupan apparitions, during a walk from his village to the
city
on the early morning of December 9, 1531, Juan Diego saw a vision of the Virgin - a young girl of fourteen to
sixteen, surrounded by light- at the Hill of Tepeyac. Speaking in Nahuatl, the Lady asked for a church to be
built at
that site in her honor. When Juan Diego spoke to the Spanish bishop, Fray Juan de Zumrraga, the bishop asked
him for
a miraculous sign to prove his claim. The Virgin asked Juan Diego to gather some flowers at the top of the
hill, even
though it was winter when no flowers bloomed. He found there Castillian roses, gathered them, and the Virgin
herself
re-arranged them in his tilma. Diego presented these to bishop Zumrraga. When he presented the roses to
Zumrraga, the
image of the Virgin of Guadalupe miraculously appeared imprinted on the cloth of Diego's tilma.
Scientists are unable to explain the image.
