In accordance with the usual Gus
tom on Guadalupe day, picture Of the
Virgin Is displayed In front OF nearly
every home in Mexico to-day. whether
that home be the palace OF Spanish
grandee, the howell OF peon or tn,
hut Of an Indian. y
According to tradition. 1t was In
1881, ten years after the conquest OF
Mexico by the Spaniards, that the Vir-
gin Mary appeared to an Indian on the
spot where the famous church now
stands and commanded him to built
an edifice to her honor on the site.
This Indian was Juan Diego. 1t was
on December IL that he received his
mission. which he proved to the bishop
by showing him his blanket, on which
had been miraculously imprinted an
image OF the Virgin.
This Blanket, bearing the miracu.
lous image. is still preserved in the
church OF Guadalupe. Money and cost
ly jewels aggrcgating in value many
millions of dollars have been given for
its adornment, and 1t now lies in a
frame OF solid gold. covered with i
crystal plate. above tho altar OF ths
church which was erected by com.
mand OF the Virgin. On each side OF
the image. within the golden frame,
arc strips OF gold in which glitter and
flash myriad diamonds, emeralds,
peals and other precious stones.
Despite the scepticism Of some OF
these high in authority in the repub-
lie, the great masses Of tho Mexican
people still believe unfalterlngly IN
the authenticity OF the image which
has become one of the features Of the
republic for sightseers. "our Lady o
Guadalupe" Is a national institution
and the celebration in her honor sur
passes in enthusiasm even that o
Mexican Independence day. AS a mat
tor OF fact, the Virgin OF Guadalupe
was the inspiration Of the Mexican
army whenlit fought for freedom fron
: the Spanish regime, and her imag,
was borne alott on the flags Of the sol
.liers Of sHidalgo. 4 &
