Celebrating La Virgen de Guadalupe

La Virgen de Guadalupe is an icon for many faithful or not, and has represented the voices of our communidad 🌹Hoy cantamos Las Mañanitas a la más Poderosa de todas, La Virgencita en su cumpleaños 🙏🏽 La Virgen de Guadalupe first appeared to an indigenous man named Juan Diego on Dec. 9, 1531. La Virgen asked that a shrine in her name be built on the spot where she appeared, Tepeyac Hill, which is now in a suburb of Mexico City. Juan Diego told the bishop about the apparition and request, but he didn’t believe him and demanded a sign before he would approve construction of the church. El 12 de Diciembre La Virgin reappeared to Juan Diego and ordered him to collect roses in his tilmátli. Juan took the roses 🌹 to the bishop and when he opened his cloak, dozens of roses fell to the floor and revealed the image of the Virgen of Guadalupe imprinted on the inside. The tilmátli with the image is on display in La Basilica de Guadalupe. Que viva la más Poderosa 🌹La Virgen de Guadalupe! 🎨 @guadalupanacol
