Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico City, Mexico
December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is celebrated in parishes and neighborhoods throughout the country with Masses and dancing and celebration, but the biggest celebration takes place at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, a site said to be visited by 20 million pilgrims a year. During her feast and the week leading up to it, streets are closed to vehicles for a wide distance around the huge shrine property, and pilgrims stream into the site.

Mexico Virgin of Guadalupe Pilgrimage (La Fiesta de la Virgen de Guadalupe)
The Virgin of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico and she is inextricably tied to Mexican identity or ‘Mexicanidad’ (Mexicanness). We had the opportunity to witness the massive celebration dedicated to her that happens all over Mexico each year from December 9th to 12th. This religious and cultural event is even bigger than Christmas. It's known as the Pilgrimages of the Virgin of Guadalupe or la Fiesta de la Virgen de Guadalupe. The story of the the Virgin of Guadalupe goes back to 1531 near Mexico City. An indigenous farmer named Juan Diego was visited by the Virgin Mary who told him to tell the bishop to build a church in her name on that exact spot, known as Tepeyac Hill. She assured him to go and she would send a sign to show the bishop the veracity of Juan Diego’s claim. When Juan Diego opened his cloak, red roses fell from it and both men were shocked to see that the roses had left an image of the Virgin Mary imprinted on his cloak (tilma). This was the sign the bishop needed and the Basilica of Guadalupe was built on the very spot, as Mary wished.
Huge thank you to the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board and ENroute Communications for inviting us to experience the Virgin of Guadalupe Pilgrimage in Puerto Vallarta.

Story of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Juan Diego
A dramatization of the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe who appeared to Saint Juan Diego near the hill of Tepeyac, Mexico, in December 1531.Clips are the compilation of the historical flashbacks from Guadalupe (2006).
Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico
(12 Dec 2016) More than 5 million pilgrims have visited the Guadalupe Basilica in Mexico City, in commemoration of the 485th anniversary of the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe on Tepeyac hill.
Pilgrims began arriving since last Thursday, carrying statues and images of the Virgin; many of them on their knees as a way to thank the divinity for a favor conceded to them during the last year.
This celebration does not only involve Mexicans, as many Christian groups oftentimes travel from abroad to pay homage.
Some indigenous groups wore traditional garb and danced and played their music as a way to pay respect to the Virgin.
The Virgin is said to have appeared to an Indian peasant named Juan Diego in December 1531.

The Virgin of Guadalupe In New York City
On December 12th, thousands of Mexicans in New York City gathered at St Patrick's Cathedral to celebrate the arrival of Torch of the Virgin of Guadalupe after a 73 day journey from the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
Mexico City: Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a Roman Catholic church, basilica, and National Shrine of Mexico in the north of Mexico City which houses the cloak containing the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The 1709 shrine was built near the hill of Tepeyac, where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared to Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin. The basilica structure which now contains Diego's cloak was completed in 1974.
This site is also known as La Villa de Guadalupe or, in a more popular sense, La Villa, and has several churches and related buildings.
One of the most important pilgrimage sites of Catholicism, the basilica and tilma (cloak) is visited by several million people every year, especially around 12 December, Our Lady of Guadalupe's Feast day.
A nearby chapel was built on the sacred site devoted to a temple for Tonantzin Coatlaxopeuh, an important mother goddess after the Spanish conquerors destroyed the temple.
Pilgrimages have been made to this shrine almost uninterrupted since 1531–32. In the latter year, a shrine had been constructed at the foot of Tepeyac Hill, which served the people for ninety years. It was adapted as part of the parochial sacristy of the new basilica. In 1622 a rich shrine was erected; a newer one, much richer, in 1709. Other structures of the eighteenth century connected with it are a parish church, a convent, and church for Capuchin nuns, a well chapel, and a hill chapel. About 1750 the shrine got the title of collegiate, and a canonry and choir service was established. In 1754 it was aggregated to the Basilica of St. John Lateran. In 1904 it was designated as a basilica.
Officially known as the Templo Expiatorio a Cristo Rey, the first structure of the old basilica was begun in 1695 and it was not finished until 1709. The major architect was Pedro de Arrieta. It is characterized by its doric interior and marble statues of Fray Juan de Zumárraga, archbishop at the time it was started, and Juan Diego, the peasant who saw the vision of the Virgin Mary. These are featured in the altarpiece that originally held the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. (That altarpiece matches a similar one in the older chapel higher on the hill, which features the archangels, Gabriel and Michael). The church was granted basilica status by Pope Pius X in 1904.
The icon of Juan Diego's cloak was housed in this church from 1709 to 1974. In 1921 a bomb planted in a flower vase near the altar by an anticlerical terrorist exploded, causing great damage to the interior of the building. (In memory of this incident, the New Basilica displays an iron crucifix called the attempt on Christ.) The cloak survived undamaged.
As much of Mexico City was built on a former lake, the land was unstable and the old basilica was sinking. A new, more spacious basilica was built. The old one was closed for many years and repairs have recently finished. It is open to the public and perpetual adoration is held there. It is a very important place for Mexico City.
The present church was constructed on the site of an earlier 16th-century church that was finished in 1709, the Old Basilica. When this basilica became dangerous due to the sinking of its foundations, a modern structure called the New Basilica was built next to it; the original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe is now housed in this New Basilica. Built between 1974 and 1976, the new Basilica has a circular floorplan so that the image of the Virgin can be seen from any point within the building. The circular structure is 100 meters (330 ft) in diameter and can accommodate up to 10,000 people. The choir is located between the altar and the churchgoers to indicate that it, too, is part of the group of the faithful. To the sides are the chapels of the Santisimo and of Saint Joseph. It has 9 chapels on the upper floor. Under the main floor are the Basilica's crypts, with 15,000 niches and 10 chapels. Its seven front doors are an allusion to the seven gates of Celestial Jerusalem referred to by Christ. In the Sanctuary grounds where the new Basilica is located there are also many other buildings, including the original chapel on the exact site of the apparitions to Juan Diego (Capilla del Cerrito) and the Old Basilica consecrated in 1709, as well as other chapels where Masses and other sacraments of the Church are celebrated daily.

Millions Celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City
▶️ A huge crowd surrounded Mexico City's Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Thursday, December 12, following days of pilgrimage from all over the country.
???? By 7 a.m. officials estimated the crowd at 9.8 million in the area surrounding one of the Roman Catholic Church's holiest shrines.
That number seemed almost impossible, however, as it would exceed the population of Mexico City itself.
The December 12 pilgrimage honors the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico's patroness.
Many carry large statues or other images of the cerulean-shrouded, contemplative virgin as they stream en masse to the temple.
Some make the last stretch crawling emotionally — and painfully — on their knees.
According to church tradition, in 1531 the dark-skinned virgin appeared to the indigenous peasant Juan Diego and her image was imprinted on his cloak, which is on display inside the church. Juan Diego was made a saint in 2002 by Pope John Paul II, who himself was canonized a saint in 2014.
At the Vatican Pope Francis gave a special mass in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
