Our Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de
Guadalupe), also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe (Spanish: Virgen de
Guadalupe), is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary associated with a
Marian apparition and a venerated image enshrined within the Minor Basilica of
Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The basilica is the most visited Catholic
pilgrimage site in the world, and the world's third most-visited sacred site. Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, also known
as Juan Diego (1474–1548), a native of Mexico, is the first Roman Catholic
indigenous saint from the Americas. He is said to have been granted an
apparition of the Virgin Mary on four separate occasions in December 1531 at
the hill of Tepeyac, then a rural area but now within the borders of Mexico
City.
