In December 1531, a pivotal moment in New World evangelization unfolded when the Virgin Mary, known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, appeared to Juan Diego, an indigenous convert. Over four transformative days, their encounters led to the miraculous imprint of her image on Juan Diego's tilma, catalyzing the conversion of nine million Native Americans to Catholicism. This profound shift marked the beginning of the Americas' transformation into a "Catholic hemisphere." Our Lady of Guadalupe's message of love fostered a connection between disparate cultures, replacing the violence of the Aztec civilization with hope and faith.
