    Just before dawn on December 9, 1531, a poor, 57-year-old widower named Juan Diego was walking through the hills outside Tenochtitlan, Mexico (the Guadalupe area that is near modern Mexico City), on his way to attend church. He began hearing music as he walked closer to the base of Tepeyac Hill, and at first, he thought the beautiful sounds were th...

    Juan gazed toward the east (the direction from which the music came), but as he did so, the singing faded, and instead, he heard a female voice calling his name several times from atop the hill. So he climbed to the top, where he saw the figure of a smiling girl of about 14 or 15 years old, bathed within a bright golden light. The light shone outwa...

    The girl began speaking to Juan in his native language, Nahuatl. She asked where he was going, and he told her that he had been on his way to church to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, whom he had come to love so much that he walked to the church to attend daily Mass whenever he could. Smiling, the girl then told him: "Dear little son, I love you. ...

    She continued: "I would like you to build a church here so that I may give my love, compassion, help, and defense to everyone who seeks it in this place -- for I am your mother, and I want you to have confidence in me and invoke me. In this place, I would like to listen to people’s cries and prayers, and send remedies for their misery, pain, and su...

    Dejected, Juan began the long journey back home to the countryside, and on the way, he encountered Mary again, standing on the hill where they had met before. He knelt before her and told her what had happened with the bishop. Then he asked her to choose someone else to be her messenger, since he had tried his best and failed to get the church plan...

    Bishop Zumaraga was surprised to see Juan again so soon. This time he listened more carefully to Juan’s story and asked questions. But the bishop was suspicious that Juan had really seen a miraculous apparition of Mary. He asked Juan to ask Mary to give him a miraculous sign that would confirm her identity, so he would know for certain that it was ...

    But Juan ended up missing his appointment with Mary the next day (a Monday) because, after returning home, he discovered that his elderly uncle, Juan Bernardino, was gravely ill with a fever and needed his nephew to take care of him. On Tuesday, Juan's uncle seemed about to die, and he asked Juan to go find a priest to administer the sacrament of L...

    "Go to the top of the hill and cut the flowers that are growing there," Mary instructed Juan. "Then bring them to me." Even though frost covered the top of Tepeyac Hill in December and no flowers naturally grew there during the winter, Juan climbed the hill since Mary had asked him to, and was surprised to discover a group of fresh roses growing th...

    When Juan and Bishop Zumaraga met again, Juan told the story of his latest encounter with Mary and said that she had sent him some roses as a sign that it was truly her talking with Juan. Bishop Zumaraga had privately prayed to Mary for a sign of roses -- fresh Castilian roses, like the kind that grew in his home country of Spain -- but Juan wasn't...
