La Virgen De Guadalupe | Coatlaxopeh
Ilhuitl
Dia de la Virgen de Guadalupe On December 12th of
each year, tens of thousands of pilgrims flock to the Basilica de Guadalupe in
Mexico City to commemorate the apparition of Mexico's patron saint on the Cerro
Del Tepeyac. According to legend it was here in 1531 that a brown-skinned Virgin
Mary appeared to an indigenous boy named Juan Diego. She is named after the
Virgin of Guadalupe in Extremadura, Spain.
Often in Mexico, Catholic
traditions are merged with Indigenous influences such as that of Mexica
Coatlaxopeh Ilhuitl, a Mesoamerican Mother-Goddess.
