Harry and Rafe discuss the appearance of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego in 1531. A decade after the fall of the Aztec empire, Diego, a peasant convert in present-day Mexico, is visited four times by the appearance of the Virgin Mary, who tells him to ask the bishop to build a church on Tepeyac Hill in her honor. When pressed for evidence, Our Lady arranges non-native roses in Diego tilma on the winter solstice and, upon presentation to the bishop, a miraculous image is imposed onto and into the very fabric of his cloak, an image of a woman, clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, carried by angel, and carrying a child.
The image spans two cultures, the natives of central American and the Spanish Christians, in its iconography and presentation and speaks to both groups about the nature of the mother of the one True God.
Diego's cloak still hangs in Mexico City today, four hundred and ninety-two years later, having survived all manners of mistreatment and harassment, a testament to the Christian faith of the Mexican people and Catholics around the globe. Our Lady of Guadalupe is essentially the American continents' first true superhero.
