The Virgin of Guadalupe is a significant religious figure in Catholicism, particularly in Mexico. She is believed to be an apparition of the Virgin Mary who appeared to Juan Diego, an indigenous man, in 1531 on the hill of Tepeyac. Her image is often depicted on a cloak adorned with symbols that reflect both Christian and indigenous cultures. The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, located in Mexico City, is one of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world. The Virgin of Guadalupe is considered the patroness of the Americas and is celebrated for her role in promoting faith and unity among diverse communities.
