“Here is recounted…how quite recently, very miraculously there appeared the ever Virgin Saint Mary—Mother of God and our queen—over at Tepeyac, known as Guadalupe. She first revealed herself to an Indian by the name of Juan Diego. After that, her sacred image appeared on Diego’s cloak in front of the Bishop Don Fray de Zumarraga. When ten years had passed since the conquering of the waters and hills of Mexico City; when arrow and shield lay still, each expanse of water and of hill was lulled into tranquility. Then there was a beginning…there was a burgeoning and a blossoming of believing in the truth of Him who causes life to go on, the true divinity, God Himself.”
—Nican Mopohua, 16th century account of the apparition
Juan Diego encountered the Virgin Mary on Tepeyac hill, the sacred site where Aztecs had worshipped the ancient mother goddess Tonantzin. The year was 1531, just ten years after the Spanish conquered the Aztec capital Tenochitlan (Mexico City). Our Lady’s beautiful gesture of acceptance, compassion and hope, given to the suffering indigenous peoples, continues to speak to our hearts today.
Her feast day is December 12.
