Our Lady of Guadalupe Medal Stephen When he opened the tilma

When he opened the tilma for the bishop

Two days after Felicity gave birth

the witnesses wept

Our Lady of Guadalupe Medal Stephen When he opened the tilmaIn 1530, Mary appeared and spoke with Blessed Juan Diego, a poor peasant of Mexico. She asked that a church be built in her honor. As a sign that she was from heaven, she imprinted her image as she appeared to him on his cloak, which survives to this day. She is shown as an Indian girl, with Child. Soon after the church was built, human sacrifice came to an end there. She is the patroness of the unborn and patroness of the Americas. Sue Kouma Johnson
