December 12 is Guadalupe's Feast Day!

​he Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th. According to the Catholic News Agency,"In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to Saint Juan Diego, a poor Indian from Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City.  She identified herself as the Mother of the True God and instructed him to have the bishop build a church on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth.  The tilma should have deteriorated within 20 years but shows no sign of decay after over 470 years.  It to this day defies all scientific explanations of its origin.Apparently the tilma in the eyes of Our Lady of Guadalupe, even reflects what was in front of her in 1531!  Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind, as well as the story of the apparitions, are described in the "Nican Mopohua," a 16th century document written in the native Nahuatl language."
