The Story of Our Lady of Guadalupe

According to Catholic Faith teachings, the Holy Mother appeared four times to Juan Diego and once to his ailing uncle. The first Marian apparition happened on December 9, 1531 while the Mexican native was on his way to Mass.

On the Hill of Tepeyac, Juan Diego saw a radiant maiden who introduced herself as the Virgin Mary, the “mother of the very true deity.” Mary revealed to Juan Diego her desire for a church to be built on the hill.

Juan Diego encountered many obstacles while carrying out his task. First, he was unable to immediately convince the bishop to construct the church because he was by no means an influential person. Juan Diego was also busy taking care of his uncle who was gravely ill. Despite these limitations and setbacks, the Virgin Mary encouraged Juan Diego to hold on to his spiritual calling, appearing to him three more times to help him move forward. 

When Juan Diego relayed Mary’s instructions for a church, the bishop asked for proof that his vision was true and divine. The Holy Mother then instructed Juan Diego to bring the promised sign to the bishop by collecting all the roses blooming on top of the hill and keeping them in his cloak.

Juan Diego was doubtful he would find any flowers at first because the area was known to be rocky and bad for vegetation. Surprisingly, though, he found many roses at the top and brought them to the Blessed Mother.

Mary rearranged the flowers and told Juan Diego to show them only to the bishop. Once Juan Diego appeared before Juan de Zumarraga, the bishop was amazed because an image of the Holy Mother was impressed on the fabric of Juan Diego’s cloak. This miracle finally convinced the bishop of the authenticity of Juan Diego’s words.

Another extraordinary event was the healing of Juan Diego’s gravely ill uncle. The Holy Mother appeared to the sick man just as she promised. Aside from miraculously restoring his health, she instructed him that her image should be known from then on as Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
