Description
A small town in the Central San Juaquin Valley in California is home to many agricultrue farm laborers. Their Catholic heritage has left a mighty impact on the community. Their artwork is now on this wonderful tile mural on the local Catholic Church.
It is the story a man named Juan Diego who had a vision of the Virgin Mary, December 9, 1531 on what is now the outskirts of Mexico City as he was walking to Mass. Mary was illuminated by great heavenly light. She instructed Juan Diego to tell his Bishop to build a shrine to her on the hillside. Juan Diego did as he was instructed. The Bishop did not believe Juan Diego.
Later, Juan Diego was once again visited by the Blessed Mother. And again, she instructed him to visit the Bishop. This time, however, as Juan Diego opened his cape, a dozen roses fell from his opened cape and the image of Mary was imprinted on the same cape.
Juan Diego was canonized by Pope John Paul II, July 31, 2002. His cape, or tilma, can be seen at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe today.
