The image of the Virgin Mary miraculously appeared on a cactus fiber ’tilma’ or cloak of Juan Diego in 1531 near what is modern day Mexico City. Is it a true miracle of the God of the Bible? You decide, better yet, read up on all the apparitions of the Virgin Mary that are approved as worthy of belief by the Catholic Church. Most remarkable is the Polaroid-like quality of the color and lack of brush strokes on the original image.

That 500 year time frame is also how long the sacred Incan priests/priestesses hid in high Andes elevation until they fairly recently came out of hiding because the series of prophecies started fulfilling in the 1960s. It’s partially related because the Incan priests hid from the conquering Spaniards while the Aztecs were meant to convert.
Leonardo da Sanchez painted it.
the Our Lady of Guadalupe title is not correct. This was from another statue in Spain. This was to be called “Mary who crushed the head of the stone serpent” and the vision of Mary was on the same mountain where the native american people worshiped a mother goddess. This is a miracle on par with the shroud of Turin. These are here to convert the world.
@LULUMEX1 …so you are resolved to love your personal demon.
@TheCatholicWolf You’re welcome:)
dingorex: thanks for posting.
Hey people…it is scientifically proven that the image of the Virgin is not humanly made….SCIENCE PEOPLE!!!! The golden lights are in bad shape and the rest impeccable!!! Let it be note that inside the catholic church there are many sceptics and they send many investigators from all over the world, from any creed to investigate it because obviously the church does not want something that is fraud!
amazing!!!!! JESUS AND GOSPA FOREVER

Just think. If you didnt have that image of Mary, you couldnt find Christ like the rest of the Christian world has??
You dont have faith that’s why you look to the supernatural and get all gooey inside when you stare at an object, thinking that you’re being made better when you’re only coppin a feel. Sad.
Taco Bell has had major impact on Mexicans too? Is that a miracle God has worked down there too?
@Beaute8: well the latest research in 2007 found it impossible so lol..
Great miracle!
Some are claiming satanic deception. Why? Look at the fruit, the Aztecs became believers in Christ.
well for you flying science im sorry you feel like that…dont you ever doubt what god doing..mark my word you and your son are son shouldve been ashamed of yourself…..god is the one true god…belive that….you will never get no where if you doubt him and his blesssing…
That’s Tonantzin.
Just look at what happened in 500 years, it is
awesome,research done in this area is extensive just check it out, mindblowing!!! from my personal experience whenever I go to mother,she always leads me to her Son Jesus
Yes the belief and faith oth the Mexican people in her. Research the story behind her, shes as fake as a fake dollar bill. Yea yea i was raised catholic, catholic blind!!!
I feel that all of us regarding this image should also consider the possibility of satanic deception. Look at the area that this occurred in. It’s Aztec history. Would God send Mary to inform villagers to build a temple by her command? Lucifer, I’m sure, still had a strong hold in this area of Mexico. We should all try and be a little more discerning. Thanks for your time.
I don’t care what anyone says regarding this matter…We all believe in God and Jesus…there is no doubt in that..but the Virgen de Guadalupe, the belief and faith that the Mexican people have in her is truly amazing. Since I was very little, I was brought up with this amazing faith in her and no matter what any scientist says or states, she is truly 100 percent part of our beautiful culture…god bless
I just did a research project on the Virgin in my grad work and it is interesting. Whether or not, the apparitions really occurred is unimportant. The impact the Virgin has had on the Mexican people can not be denied. She has influenced Mexico for hundreds of years now, even though the apparition tradition is still being debated. Importantly, I think we should all be respectful of each other’s beliefs. And not regard those who trust in the Virgin, as “stupid mexicans.” Be respectful.
My son is an art student . He explained if God can make all life in 6 days .He sure as hell cant paint .(dosent reflect supernatural art talent )
Everybody is ignorant of something, unless you know everything. It`s good you don’t care about other’s people ignorance. Care about your own.
It’s not real. Really deeply? Did you read about the story of Marcos Aquino? Or that priests used his image of an indian deity to turn them to catholics? Have you read the testimonials of the painters that have declared it to be fake and that it has been re-painted all the time? You should do more research and not to believe fake stuff. But it’s your choice to let them brainwash you. Estupido mexicano.
I’m not trying to convince anybody. I really don’t care about other people’s ignorance.
You can’t convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it’s based on a deep-seated need to believe. Carl Sagan’s quote
