Trouble is, there wasn’t any archives that tell the story when it happened, but many years later it was penned. I’ve been to the National Archives in Mexico City to see for myself. I do know that the Virgen of Guadalupe is famous as the patron saints of many bars, prostitution centers. Quite impressive. Many Evangelical Christians have died by angry mobs that carried her banner.

She is the one the Mexicans claim to pray to as they enter the United States illegally? Sorry, she has no stock with me.

We visited the Basilica soon after it was completed — 1976, if I remember correctly.

I commented about how bright the colors were in the fabric, which was displayed prominently at the front of the church. Our guide explained that it was because they paint it yearly.
