Our Lady of Guadalupe mini with lanyard

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE 4.75"

On December 9, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego, an indigenous Mexican peasant, on Tepeyac Hill near Mexico City. Speaking in his native Nahuatl language, she asked him to request that the bishop build a church in her honor. When the bishop requested a sign, Mary miraculously imprinted her image on Juan Diego’s tilma — a cloak that remains preserved nearly 500 years later. Her appearance, blending indigenous and European imagery, sparked millions of conversions throughout the Americas. Our Lady of Guadalupe shows us that God’s love transcends all cultures and peoples.
