notes:
|
A vision of the Virgin of Guadalupe, with native American features, appeared to Juan Diego, a native American, on a hill named Tepeyac near the site of a temple to the Aztec goddess Tonantzin (Mother of the People) in 1531. Archbishop Zumárraga, the first archbishop of Mexico, accepted the vision when Juan Diego presented his cloak, or tilma, with the Virgin's image on it filled with out-of-season roses. The symbol of the eagle refers to the Aztecs, who looking for a homeland, were guided to a place where an eagle perched on a cactus ate a snake.
