The apparition of the Virgin de Guadalupe on December 12, 1531 on the hills of Tepeyac, Mexico signaled the beginning of a new spiritual era in the Americas.
Bishop Zumarraga did not "order construction of a basilica at the site where the Virgin first appeared." The bishop ordered a church be built. The church was given the status of a basilica by Pope Pius X in 1904.
Man! I love reading your “weekly” articles. I wish there were more, I’d binge read....
Me too
Beautiful work
