Michie · Dec 12, 2022

I love this day. It my favorite.

Dec. 12 is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Dec. 12 is the commemoration of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

In the United States, the day is a feast.

Linked to this day is Dec. 9, which is the optional memorial of Juan Diego, to whom she appeared.

Here are 6 things to know and share...

1) Who was Juan Diego?

More formally known as St. Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, he lived from 1474 to 1548.

According to his biography on the Vatican web site,

Little is known about the life of Juan Diego before his conversion, but tradition and archaelogical and iconographical sources, along with the most important and oldest indigenous document on the event of Guadalupe, "El Nican Mopohua" (written in Náhuatl with Latin characters, 1556, by the Indigenous writer Antonio Valeriano), give some information on the life of the saint and the apparitions.

Juan Diego was born in 1474 with the name "Cuauhtlatoatzin" ("the talking eagle") in Cuautlitlán, today part of Mexico City, Mexico.

The Church considers it a divine image given by God. Not made by human hands.

Others consider the image the product of an indigenous artist named Marcos Cipac (de Aquino), working in the 1550s.

As the church teaches, Juan Diego ran to notify the local bishop, who was skeptical, and then returned to the hill for more exchanges with the Virgin. At her suggestion, he left the hillside carrying flowers in his cloak, and when he later opened the cloak in the bishop’s presence it displayed a detailed, colorful image of the Virgin.

That piece of cloth currently hangs in the center of the Basilica, protected by a frame.

Thank you for doing your part! Vaccinations help reduce the spread of the virus and the individual suffering. We will all get it, some worse than others. The last three years have been horrible for healthcare workers and many have just given up. I practiced fake interviews on why I was leaving.

Yeah I have friends in healthcare. It’s been rough all the way around. I plan to continue the mask, etc. After I’m out of seclusion. I was just so careful I was shocked. I was so miserable yesterday I was weeping. It’s really nasty stuff. And I know people have had it a lot worse than me.
