About Our Lady of Guadalupe in brief
Our Lady of Guadalupe is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with a series of five Marian apparitions in December 1531. The Virgin Mary appeared four times to Juan Diego and once more to his uncle, Juan Bernardino. A venerated image on a cloak enshrined within the Basilica of Our Lady of guadalupe in Mexico City. The basilica is the most visited Catholic pilgrimage site in the world, and the world’s third most-visited sacred site. Pope Leo XIII granted a decree of a canonical coronation on 8 February 1887 and was ceremoniously completed on 12 October 1895. The first miracle was allegedly performed when a native was mortally wounded in the neck by an arrow shot by accident during some stylized martial displays. In great distress, the natives carried him before the Virgin and pleaded for his life. Upon being withdrawn, the victim recovered fully and immediately became popular with the people of Mexico. The image of the Virgin was then transferred back to Tepeyac Hill where it was installed in a small chapel where it is now a popular tourist attraction. The images of the two women are said to be the most famous of the five apparitions and are inscribed above the main entrance to the Basilique of Guadelupe. The last apparition occurred on December 26, 1531, when the Virgin appeared to a young woman at a place called the Hill of TepeYac, which later became part of Villa de GuadalUP.
The next day, December 13, Juan Diego found his uncle fully recovered as the Virgin had assured him, and Juan Bernardino recounted that he also had seen her, at his bedside ; that she had instructed him to inform the Archbishop of this apparition and of miraculous cure; she had told him she desired to be known under the title of ‘Guadalupe’ The image was then kept in Juan Diego’s private chapel and in the church on public display in the public display of his tilma. The Archbishop kept his mantle, first in his private chapel, and then in his public display, where it attracted great attention. It has become one of Mexico’s most popular religious displays in honor of the Lady. The most famous phrase is: ‘No estoy yo aquí que soy tu madre?’ (No, I don’t know who you are, but I want to know you) The image is said to have been placed on the cloak of Juan Diego, and when Juan Diego opened his cloak later that day before Archbishop Zumárraga, the flowers fell to the floor, revealing on the fabric the image of The Virgin of Gudalupe. In the words which have become the mostfamous phrase of the Guadalupes apparitions, she asked \”¿No. estoyYo aquí that soy tuMadre?\” (What do you want to say to me?) The image has since become a popular religious display in Mexico and has become a most popular tourist destination in the country.
