OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

Major Shrine 2

Our Lady Guadalupe & St. Juan Diego Background Mural

This idea is rather interesting, we see the location of the rock where Our Lady appeared, and Maria thought the images would be more appropriate and historical as she was depicted in the early Missions. The images could be reliefs or separate paintings and framed as shown here. I like this because it makes it uniquely Mission style.

* THESE ARE COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHIES FROM AN OFFICIAL VATICAN DOCUMENT RELATED TO THE APPARITIONS (THESE IMAGES WERE OBTAINED AT THE LIBRARY OF THE GUADALUPE STUDIES CENTER at UPAEP (CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY IN PUEBLA, some of the early representations of the apparitions).

The image in color is a painting of El Cerro de Tepeyac, where our Lady appeared to St Juan Diego.
