PATRONESS SAINT OF FORGIVENESS

La Virgen de Guadalupe is by far Mexico’s most venerated saint and is known as the patroness of forgiveness, which makes her popular with those living on the wrong side of the law. La Virgen first appeared to the peasant Juan Diego on December 9, 1531 on the Hill of Tepeyac. She was dark-skinned, encoded with Aztec symbols—sun, moon, and serpent—and spoke to him in his native language. She told him to relay a message to the bishop; build a church in her honor. When the bishop asked for proof, she gave Juan Diego roses, blooming impossibly in winter, and rearranged them in his tilma [cloak]. When Juan Diego eagerly appeared before the bishop, he opened his tilma and released the roses. The bishop stood in astonishment because before him appeared a colorful image of La Virgen imprinted on the fabric of Juan Diego’s tilma.
