This image is believed by many Catholics to have been miraculously imprinted upon the cactus-fiber tilma (cloak) of Juan Diego, a Chicemeca Indian convert to Christianity who claimed to have received visions of the Virgin Mary on a hillside at Tepeyac in December of 1531.
The painting depicts Mary as an apparently pregnant Mexican girl with distinctly mestizo features.
Around her waist, she wears a black sash, traditionally worn by Aztec women during pregnancy; she stands on a crescent moon held aloft by an angel.
According to legend, the Virgin instructed Juan Diego to gather roses on the hill at Tepeyac to bring to the local bishop; when Juan opened his tilma before the bishop, the roses fell to the floor and the miraculous image of Mary was revealed.
Although the Church has never officially declared the Guadalupe image to be miraculous, it has approved devotion to the image and Juan Diego has recently been canonized.
