Our Lady of Guadalupe, also known as La Virgen de Guadalupe, holds a special place in Mexican and Catholic culture. She is a revered image of the Virgin Mary, believed to have appeared to the indigenous peasant Juan Diego in 1531 on the Hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City. The story goes that she left her miraculous image imprinted on Juan Diego’s cloak, or “tilma,” which is now housed in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, one of the most visited Catholic shrines in the world. Our Lady of Guadalupe is seen as a symbol of unity, hope, and faith, bridging the gap between indigenous and Spanish cultures in Mexico. Her image represents both spiritual devotion and cultural identity, making her an iconic figure in the hearts of millions.
