This Our Lady of Guadalupe Statue measures 10 ¼ inches high and is made of resin. This gorgeous statue depicts Mary in her miraculous appearance in the city of Guadalupe in Mexico on a hill in the Tepeyac dessert near Mexico city. It is exquisitely detailed and meticulously painted with vibrant colors and gold brocade trim. The statue depicts Mary in her role as Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our Lady appeared to a young Mexican Indian, Juan Diego and asked that a church be built and dedicated to her. The local bishop asked for proof of her identity. He asked for Juan to bring back roses from the hilltop, during the winter. Juan Diego returned to him, opened his tilma and live roses fell to the ground. The beautiful image of Mary was left imprinted on the tilma as it remains today. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the Americasand the patron against abortion. Many miracles were performed over the next few years as a result of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Our Lady was responsible for the conversion of over 10 million people in Mexico. This icon is in the Basilica of Guadalupe today and is one of the most visited shrines in the world. What a glorious way to show your devotion and love for Mary as you display this beautiful Our Lady of Guadalupe Statue. It will be a spiritual memory and treasure for a lifetime!
