SPECIAL Our Lady of Guadalupe

December 12th celebrates the annual Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, commemorating the Virgin Mary's apparitions to Saint Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531, where she requested a shrine be built on Tepeyac Hill, leaving her image miraculously imprinted on his cloak (tilma) as proof, making her Mexico's patron saint and a profound religious icon. Millions of pilgrims visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City annually, often crawling on their knees in devotion, marking a major religious and cultural event that starts the holiday season.  Check out the YouTube version of this episode at https://youtu.be/w7zW2DCntoY which has accompanying visuals including maps, charts, timelines, photos, illustrations, and diagrams.
