The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12 each year. It honors the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a peasant named Juan Diego in 1531 on the hill of Tepeyac in present-day Mexico. This event is significant in Catholic tradition and is a symbol of faith for many in Latin America.
The feast day includes various festivities, such as processions, prayers, and cultural events. Many people attend Mass to pay tribute to Our Lady of Guadalupe, who is considered the patroness of the Americas. The celebration reflects deep religious devotion and cultural identity among the faithful.
