Our Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe), also known as The Virgin of Guadalupe (Spanish: Virgen de Guadalupe), is a Catholic title of Mary, Mother of Jesus, associated with a series of four Marian apparitions to a Mexican peasant named Juan Diego and one to his uncle, Juan Bernardino, which are believed to have occurred in December 1531, when the Mexican territories were part of the Spanish Empire.
A venerated image on a Cloak (Tilmahtli) associated with the apparition is enshrined in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
Pope Leo XIII granted the image a decree of Canonical Coronation on 8 February 1887, and it was Pontifically Crowned on 12 October 1895. The Basilica is the most-visited Catholic Shrine in the World, and the World’s third most-visited Sacred Site.[2][3]
