In December 1531, a poor indigenous man named Juan Diego was walking near Tepeyac Hill, just outside Mexico City. As he passed, he saw a vision of a young woman surrounded by light, who identified herself as the Virgin Mary. She asked Juan Diego to go to the bishop and request the construction of a church on the site in her honor. Juan Diego, shared the vision with the bishop, but the request was met with doubt. The Virgin Mary then appeared to him again, urging him to return and insist on her request. To prove her divine message, she instructed Juan Diego to gather roses, which were out of season, from the top of the hill.

When Juan Diego presented the roses to the bishop, an image of the Virgin Mary was miraculously imprinted on his tilma (cloak), an event that convinced the bishop and the people of the authenticity of the vision. The church was built, and the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe quickly became a symbol of faith and unity, especially among the indigenous people of Mexico. The Virgin of Guadalupe is revered as a powerful protector, and her appearance is seen as a bridge between indigenous culture and Catholicism. Today, her image remains one of the most beloved and venerated in the Catholic world. Our Lady of Guadalupe's feast day is December 12th.

This Brown Scapular features the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on one side and roses that represent the miracle of the roses with on the other.  Made with strong American paracord and soft merino wool, this scapular will stand the test of time and protect you as Our Lady promised.
