Virgen de Guadalupe

Long, long ago, an Indian peasant named Juan Diego was crossing a hill when a vision of a beautiful dark-skinned woman, covered in golden light, appeared to him. She told him she was the Madonna, the mother of Jesus, and that she wanted a church built to her right on this very spot. Juan, much awed, carried the message to the bishop as requested, but the man did not believe him. Three days later, Guadalupe again showed herself to him, and made roses of Castile bloom in the middle of winter. Juan Diego filled his cloak with them and carried them back to the bishop. When he opened his cloak, the roses spilled out, fresh and beautiful, and the bishop was convinced. Even today, Juan Diego’s sacred cloak still carries the image of the beautiful dark virgin who is, by all accounts, the queen of Mexico.
