Mexican print of Our Lady of Guadalupe appearing to St Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill in December 1531.
Mary is seen offering roses to Juan Diego. This is a sign of her miraculous powers, as the flowers could not have grown naturally in the middle of the winter.
Also note the spring on the right. The water announces Mexico’s spiritual rebirth (baptism), which began with Mary’s apparition to the converted Indian Juan Diego. The toppled Aztec idol indicates that the old religion will be replaced by faith in Christ, whose Mother has come to offer hope and consolation to all who call on her.
