The Virgin of Guadalupe is Mexico's Patron Saint.
"
1531 when the
Virgin
Mary purportedly appeared to an indigenous Mexican, in the last of several apparitions. To the present day, Our
Lady of Guadalupe
remains a powerful symbol of Mexican identity and faith, and her image is associated with everything from motherhood to feminism to social justice."
