Guadalupe is the celebrated Catholic icon of the Virgin Mary. According to the traditional account, the image appeared miraculously on the cloak of Juan Diego, an indigenous peasant, on December 12, 1531. The Lady of Guadalupe is of significant importance to Mexican Catholics.
Popular belief holds it to be “miraculous” that the tilma has maintained its structural integrity over nearly 500 years, since re plicas normally only last about 15 years before encountering environmental damages. This tilma is also said to have resisted a 1791 ammonia spill that did considerable damage, which was later reported to have repaired itself with no external help.
Photographers and ophthalmologists have reported images reflected in the eyes of the Virgin stating this is only seen in human eyes. Guadalupe’s energy is of purity, love, and compassion. She has the ability to help you heal all emotional wounds. She can help you to open your heart to receive and give love. She will assist you in finding your hearts’ truth. The love that radiates from her energy is so strong and pure that you can’t help but feel loved. She will give you love, guidance, and hope.
