Saint of the day and spiritual life #Vierge Marie

The story of Our Lady of Guadalupe begins in December 1531, when the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a Nahua indigenous man who had recently converted to Christianity, on the hill of Tepeyac (near Mexico City). She asked him to build a church there. To convince the bishop, she left a miraculous proof: her image imprinted on Juan Diego's tilma (cloak).

Although she does not have a distinct earthly life path like the canonized saints, devotion to Mary of Loreto is linked to the tradition of the miraculous transfer of the "Santa Casa" (Holy House) from Nazareth to Loreto in Italy in the 13th century. This house is said to be the place where Mary lived and received the Annunciation.
