Thousands of people gathered at Mexico City’s Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe last Thursday to honor the virgin on the 493rd anniversary of her apparition in 1531.
This year, the festivities brought great expectation after the leadership of the Mexican Catholic Church urged criminal groups to call a truce during the emblematic celebration in an attempt to contain if only for one day, the spiral of violence that plagues vast regions of Mexico.
December 1531, Mexico. The Virgin Mary appears to be an Indian humble peasant, but nobody believes in him. On Her request, the Indian wraps in his “tilma” some Castilian roses, mysteriously flowered on a bared scree. In front of the Bishop, he opens the cap discovering the miracle: the image of the Virgin is impressed upon it.
The image is extraordinarily real. The results of the analysis are amazing. In the Virgin’s eyes, the 13 figures who witnessed the miracle are visible. The stars on her cloak are positioned exactly as they were in the miracle’s day (12.12.1531).
The painting technique used is unknown. The colors remain intact, the cloth is uncorrupted.
