🟢 "Le costellazioni impresse sulla tilma".
Juan Diego mostrando al obispo de México la tilma con la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe, cuadro de Jorge Sánchez Hernández
In 1531, a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to Saint Juan Diego, a poor Indian from Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City.
She identified herself as the Mother of the True God and instructed him to have the bishop build a church on the site.
As a sign for the bishop, she left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth.
The tilma should have deteriorated within 20 years but shows no sign of decay after over 470 years.
To this day, it defies all scientific explanations of its origin.
In the eyes of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the tilma, we can see reflected what was in front of her in 1531.
Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind, as well as the story of the apparitions, are described in the "Nican Mopohua," a 16th-century document written in the native Nahuatl language.
There is reason to believe that at Tepeyac, Mary came in her glorified body and her actual physical hands rearranged the roses in Juan Diego’s tilma, which makes this apparition very special.
An incredible list of miracles, cures, and interventions are attributed to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Each year, an estimated 10 million people visit her Basilica, making her Mexico City home the most popular Marian shrine in the world and the most visited Catholic church in the world after Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.
There is no under sketch, no sizing and no protective over-varnish on the image.
Microscopic examination revealed that there were no brush strokes.
The image seems to increase in size and change colors due to an unknown property of the surface and substance of which it is made.
According to Kodak of Mexico, the image is smooth and feels like a modern day photograph.
(Produced 300 years before the invention of photography.)
The image has consistently defied exact reproduction, whether by brush or camera.
Several images can be seen reflected in the eyes of the Virgin.
It is believed to be the images of Juan Diego, Bishop Juan de Zummaraga, Juan Gonzales-the interpreter, and others.
The distortion and place of the images are identical to what is produced in the normal eye, which is impossible to obtain on a flat surface.
The stars on Our Lady's Mantle coincide with the constellation in the sky on 12 December 1531.
All who have scientifically examined the image of Our Lady over the centuries confess that its properties are absolutely unique and so inexplicable in human terms that the image can only be supernatural.
Altogether, 24 popes have officially honored Our Lady of Guadalupe.
His Holiness Blessed John Paul II visited her Sanctuary four times: on his first apostolic trip outside Rome as Pope in 1979, and again in 1990, 1999 and 2002.
The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th.
In 1999, Blessed John Paul II, in his homily given during the Solemn Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, his third visit to the sanctuary, declared the date of December the 12th as a Liturgical Holy Day for the whole continent.
During the same visit, Pope John Paul II entrusted the cause of life to her loving protection and placed under her motherly care the innocent lives of children, especially those who are in danger of not being born.

TESSDE AU (+ Lucia:]) (Taliesin part 5!)
Ria: *startled awake by loud noises crashing into Jorrvaskr, gathering her gear alongside Njada, Athis, and Torvar, rushing out to see Silver Hands breaking down the front doors and lighting things on fire* Hey!
Silver Hand 1: *points their weapon at Ria, smirking* Time to die, dogs. Can't even keep yourselves from kidnapping a child in the dead of night, ey?
Athis: What in Oblivion are you talking about, you putrid outhouse?
Njada: Less talking, more fighting!
Silver Hand 2: Don't let any of them live! Get- augh-!
Taliesin: *leaps back away from other attacks, breathing heavily after rushing up the stairs* To arms!
~With Lucia~
Lucia: *whimpers at the crashing and shouting, clambering into the bed and hiding against Kodlak*
Kodlak: *cannot do much to comfort her as he is, only able to focus on breathing through shaky lungs*
Tilma: *rushes in and barricades the door, turning and seeing Lucia with Kodlak* Child! What are you doing here?
Lucia: M-Mr. Kodlak is sick, a-and-!
There are hefty bashes against the door on the other side, someone clearly having gotten past the others and determined to kill others who are hiding.
Tilma: *knows that the child is under her care now, regardless of the situation and picks her up, herding her under Kodlak's bed* Stay here and stay silent.
Lucia: *claps her hands over her mouth, trembling and crying*
Tilma: *takes a sword shakily in her hands, not having done combat in years, and waits unsteady in front of Kodlak*
Silver Hand 3: *bashes through the door and barricade, huffing angrily and sneering at Tilma's trembling form* You'd best put that down if you know what's good for you, lady. *slaps his great hammer into his other palm*
Tilma: You will not touch a hair on his head!
Lucia: *goes to touch her necklace for her mother, freezing as she realizes she left it on her nightstand and forgot it* ...!
Silver Hand 3: *heard a little smack under the bed, smirking* Oh? Don't touch him? Certainly. But the kid you're hiding is coming with me.
Tilma: *eyes widen* How did you-?!
Silver Hand 3: RAHH!! *punches Tilma in the temple, easily sending her to the ground and reaches under the bed to yank Lucia out* Got ya, ya little rat.
Lucia: *bites into his arm violently, screaming as she's thrown into the ground* AH!
Silver Hand 3: Augh! You little-! GUAK-!
Kodlak: *took the sword Tilma dropped on his legs and ran it through the Silver Hands' back, glaring over his shoulder* Rest now... and cease this pointless brutality...

A pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine shows a queer Catholic woman that we all belong to the church. No exceptions.
December 12th is the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and so I want to share this article I read around this time last year.
I claim her as the Patron Saint for all the misfits, marginalized, and misunderstood, and I’m far from alone. There’s lots more of us than the perfect people, too. She’s ours, and we are hers. And so whenever I can, I haul myself down to Mexico City to say “hi.” It’s been a few years now and I’m overdue for a trip, but no matter, ‘cause she really is everywhere. Just look around.
As I write this, pilgrims from across Mexico are walking, caravaning, busing, flying: all headed to the Basilica for December 11th, the vigil of the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th. At midnight, “Las Mañanitas Guadalupanas,”a traditional patronal hymn, will be sung at the Basilica, on TV and streaming video, all over Mexico, and yes, Catholic parishes all across the United States as well.
She’s here for us all: definitely for her people from Mexico who are on pilgrimages of their own north of the border, but also for all of us who live and work and love in uncertain and unsettled times. That’s us. That’s the LGBTQ Catholics, but really, all of us right now.
Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, the Blessed Mother in the form of an outcast, ruega por nosotros (pray for us).
