*The Virgen of Guadalupe – Arellano.

This is a painting of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which was miraculously imprinted on the mantle of Juan Diego. Surrounding the figure of the Blessed Virgin is a wreath made up of clouds and flowers. In each of the four corners of the painting is a depiction of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to the Mexican man and the events surrounding the apparitions. Artwork by M. Arellano.

**Our Lady of Guadalupe (SpanishNuestra Señora de Guadalupe), also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe (SpanishVirgen de Guadalupe), is a Catholic title of Mary, mother of Jesus associated with a series of five Marian apparitions, which are believed to have occurred in December 1531, and a venerated image on a cloak enshrined within the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The basilica is the most-visited Catholic shrine in the world, and the world’s third most-visited sacred site.

Pope Leo XIII granted the image a decree of canonical coronation on 8 February 1887 and was pontifically crowned on 12 October 1895.

He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
