Saint Juan Diego was an indigenous Mexican who embraced the Catholic faith that came with Cortez, spread by the Spanish friars. On December 9th, 1531, Our Lady appeared to him on Tepeyac Hill (Guadalupe), as he was going to Mass, asking for a church to be built on that spot. After convincing the skeptical Bishop of the apparition's authenticity, through Mary’s miraculous image on his tilma (cloak) and Castillian roses spilling out when he opened the tilma, the Bishop built the church. Thousands of conversions occurred when the tilma, with our Lady’s image on it, was processed through Mexico City. St. Juan Diego spent the rest of his life as the tilma's caretaker and telling the apparition's story. The tilma can be seen today in the basilica in Mexico City.
