Bikira Maria wa Guadalupe

[thumb|[Sura ya Bikira Maria iliyomo katika joho la Juan Diego.]]
**Bikira Maria wa Guadalupe** ni jina mojawapo la Bikira Maria lililotokana na kijiji cha Guadalupe karibu na Mji wa Meksiko, kilichopata umaarufu kutokana na njozi tano za Bikira Maria kwa Juan Diego mnamo Desemba 1531 zilizosababisha wananchi milioni nane kwa muda mfupi wajiunge na Ukristo.

Hadi leo umati wa watu wanakimbilia huko kwa unyenyekevu msaada wake wa kimama wakimsalimu kwa tumaini kama nyota ya uinjilishaji wa mataifa na tegemeo la wakazi asili na wa fukara .

Basilika lililojengwa mahali hapo linatembelewa na Wakatoliki wengi kuliko patakatifu pengine popote. 

Kumbukumbu yake huadhimishwa tarehe 12 Desemba.
