Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with four Marian apparitions to Juan Diego and one to his uncle Juan Bernardino reported in December 1531 in Mexican territories under Spanish rule. A venerated image on a cloak (tilmahtli) associated with the apparition is enshrined in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The shrine is the most-visited Catholic shrine in the world and the world's third most-visited sacred site.
