________________________________
Nuestra Se�ora de Guadalupe is one of the titles or advocations of the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Christ. According to tradition she appeared to the Aztec Indian Juan Diego soon after the Spanish conquest of Mexico. She asked Juan Diego to petition the local bishop to build a church in her honor on Tepeyac hill, where she had appeared. As proof of her apparition Mary left her image on Juan Diego�s cactus fiber cloak which still hangs in the Basilica of Guadalupe near Mexico City.
In this retablo image Mary is shown as a dark skinned Aztec woman hovering above the cactus of Tepeyac hill, a former shrine to the mother goddess Tonantzin.
In New Mexico Nuestra Se�ora de Guadalupe is appealed to for all spiritual and temporal concerns. There are numerous places named in her honor. She is the patroness of New Mexico, Queen of Mexico, and Empress of all the Americas.
Her feast day is December 12.
