Virgin Mary Guadalupe Medal?

[Christworshiper]

Hi,

I just received this beautiful VMG sterling silver with moissanite medal. I see that all the Guadalupe medals have the Virgin hovering over what appears to be a child with wings. Is this an angel? Thanks

AI overview:

At her feet, Our Lady of Guadalupe stands on a crescent moon and is supported by a winged angel. The crescent moon is a symbol of vanquishing the Aztec moon god, and the angel with eagle wings is a symbol of the Aztec sun god and the promise of a new era, according to TheCatholicSpirit.com and www.secretsoftheimage.org.

• Crescent moon: She stands on a crescent moon, which in Aztec culture symbolized the moon god, Quetzalcoatl. By standing on the moon, she shows she is more powerful than their chief deity.
• Angel: An angel with eagle wings holds her up from below. For the Aztecs, the eagle was a sacred bird that symbolized the sun and carried the hearts and blood of sacrificial victims to the gods. This angel, with both youthful and aged features, signifies a messenger who brings true food and a new, victorious message.

I hope this helps! I always liked Our Lady of Guadalupe. Enjoy your new medal and have your priest bless it for you.
