HISTORY: Early on Saturday morning of December 9, 1531, Juan Diego, a poor convert, first saw the Virgin. He was at Tepeyac Hill (3 miles from the Mexico City Cathedral). He heard heavenly music, then her voice, and she was before him "radiant as the sun". She told him to tell the Bishop that they were to build a church on that spot (where a shrine to the Aztec goddess Tonantzin presently stood) so she could be near her people to love and protect them. She called him "my son" and said, "I am the Mother of all of you who dwell in this land."
Between December 9 and 12, the Virgin of Guadalupe continued to appear and request through Juan Diego that a church dedicated to her be built on the site. When the bishop-elect of Mexico City, Juan de Zumαrraga, demanded proof, the Virgin told Juan Diego to gather roses from a nearby hillside, put them into his tilma (cloak) and take them to the bishop. When the roses where released, the Virgin's image was imprinted on the tilma, which now hangs in the Basilica in Mexico City and is an object of veneration, daily devotion, and a major pilgrimage site.
For more than 450 years the colors of the image on the tilma have remained as bright as if they were painted yesterday, and the coarse-woven cactus cloth of the shawl--which seldom lasts more than twenty years--shows no evidence of decay.
