Welcome to OLG 2.0 - Bolder and Bigger in our pursuit of Our Lady!
 
This miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, has converted millions of Mexicans.
 
Juan, was a Catholic swimming against the tide, who had the Blessed Virgin Mary appear to him instructing him to tell the Bishop to build a church in her honour.
 
Our Lady miraculously planted Castilian Roses in Mexico in the middle of winter! That alone was a miraculous sign since they did not grow in Mexico.
Juan did not realize until after he opened his cloak to show the roses, that image of Our Blessed Mother was emblazoned on his tilma. The Bishop and others in the room fell to their knees at this miracle and had the church built.
 
When asked for her title, it is believed that Our Lady used the Aztec Nahuatl word of coatlaxopeuh which is pronounced quatlasupe and sounds remarkably like the Spanish word Guadalupe: which means the one who crushes the serpent.
