They understood these symbols.
Another symbol is that Our Lady of Guadalupe is standing IN FRONT of the sun -- telling the Aztecs that something was happening that was more important than their worship of the sun.
Over 8 million were converted with this image.
Feast of the Day Ping!
Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed another article about Our Lady of Guadalupe that was posted earlier today. I’ve learned so much! Here’s the link to that one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2819254/posts
I picked up a Spanish prayer card at church last night, addressing Our Lady of Guadalupe as “Mother of Unborn Children.” I hope to order more for distribution in our parish. If they’re not available, the Hispanic Ministry can include the prayer in the Spanish bulletin.
