Guadalupe Album
In 1531 Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego.  She asked
him to have a church built there.  He could not convince the bishop
and Mary asked him to pick the nearby roses and show them to the
bishop.  When he opened his shroud out fell the roses and on his
shroud was the image of Mary.  The shroud is displayed at the
church.  The shroud is still as it was that day.
