About
This Date
In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill
northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True
God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left
an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality
cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign
of decay 469 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its
origin. An incredible list of miracles, cures and interventions are
attributed to Her. Yearly, an estimated 10 million visit her Basilica in
Mexico City.
