Virgin of Mexico

Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe
December 12th.


On this occasion I want to share one of the most important dates celebrated in Mexico, in which the majority of Mexicans, every December 12 celebrates the Virgin of Guadalupe, Patroness of Mexico and the Empress of America.

Story.

It all began in pre-Hispanic times around 1531, in the early days of December when the native Juan Diego walked up the hill, a Virgin appeared to him and asked him to go and see the Bishop, at that time, Fray Juan de Zumárraga, and expressed her wish that a Temple be built in her name on the hill of Tepeyac.



Without hesitation he went to see the Bishop, who did not believe him and ordered him to return the following day. The next day the Bishop, after asking several questions, asked him to believe him, he would have to carry a sign.

Juan Diego told the Virgin, who told him to return the following day to give the signal, but that day Juan Diego could not return because he stayed all day with his uncle Juan Bernardino who was about to die. 



The next day he went out to find a priest to prepare his uncle for his death, and on the way the Virgin appeared to him and told him not to fear and to go to the top of the hill to cut some flowers, time of year that no flowers were given, Juan Diego found them, cut them and put them in his cloak; Came down and the virgin took them in his hands and asked him to take them to the Bishop in response to his request. Juan Diego took them in front of the Bishop, told him everything he had heard and seen; And after extending their cloak and taking out the flowers they realized that the image of the Virgin Mary had been imprinted on the mantle of Juan Diego. No doubt the Bishop had a temple built in the name of the so-called Virgin of Guadalupe, at that time also known as Tonantzin or mother of all Gods. 



Juan Diego returned to his uncle Juan Bernardino's house and realized that he had recovered, because the virgin also appeared to his uncle and did the miracle of saving him from death and cure him. 



And since that time, every December 12, all Mexico and believers of the Virgin of Guadalupe celebrate her day, they sing the mañanitas, make offerings and walks to the Basilica of Guadalupe where is the image of the Virgin in the cloak of Juan Diego, they pray, sing and celebrate with her.
