The tilma worn by the seer of Guadalupe (Juan Diego) was woven from cactus fibers. Despite its coarse weave, the underlying image has very distinct lines.

You can probably pick up a book at a library. Or you can catch EWTN if you have cable. You can go to a catholic book store and get books or videos.
Or, you can go to the Basillica in Mexico and see the tilma for yourself. It's still there. If you make it this week I'm sure there will still be much celebrating going on.
