La Virgen de Guadalupe

La Virgen de Guadalupe

Today is a very important day in the lives of all people from Mexico. It commemorates the appearance of the Virgen de Guadalupe to San Juan Diego on the Hill of Tepeyac back in 1531.

To see the pilgrimages of people walking to the main Cathedral in Mexico City beginning on December 10th is amazing. Some people walk hundreds of miles, others drive, but when you get to the Cathedral, you can see literally thousands of people, on their knees, making penance or asking to be looked upon favorably by her.

La Virgen de Guadalupe is the mother of all Mexican people and they are very proud of this.

You don't have to be Catholic or Mexican to read this very interesting story of her apparition on wikipedia.

:love::love:

Si tuviera la oportunidad de viajar allí durante esta epoca, yo lo haría! Pues, he estado en México y he visitado la basilica dos veces. Las fotos arriba son mias (yo las tomé con mi camera). También, soy católico y me encanta la virgen. Estoy de acuerdo que ella es muy importante y especial.

Pues, quiero regresar a D.F. pronto, pero no sé exactamente cuando. Quizas el proximo verano. Pero, para mi es dificil viajar durante deciembre. Trabajo de maestro y no es facil viajar en este mes. Pero, lo que es bueno es que Houston no esta muy lejos de D.F. Solo dos horas por avion!

Por favor corrige mis errores! Sé que hay muchos.
