Our Lady of Guadalupe ( ), also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe ( ; ) is a celebrated Catholic icon of the Virgin Mary.

According to tradition, Juan Diego, a simple indigenous peasant, saw a vision of a young woman on December 9, 1531. While he was on the hill in the desert of Tepeyac near Mexico City, the lady told him to build a church exactly on the spot where they were standing. He told the local bishop, who asked for some proof. He went back and saw the vision again. He told the lady that the bishop wanted proof, and she said "Bring the roses behind you." When he looked behind, he saw a bunch of roses growing. He cut the roses, placed them in his poncho and returned to the bishop. When he arrived to the bishop, he said he had brought proof. When he opened his poncho, instead of roses there was a picture of the young lady in the vision. Today, the icon is displayed in the Basilica of Guadalupe nearby, one of the most visited Catholic shrines in the world. The Virgin of Guadalupe is Mexico's most popular religious and cultural image, with the titles "Queen of Mexico", "Empress of the Americas", and "Patroness of the Americas"; both Miguel Hidalgo (in the Mexican War of Independence) and Emiliano Zapata (during the Mexican Revolution) carried flags bearing the Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Guadalupe Victoria, the first Mexican president changed his name in honor of the icon.

The image of the Virgin Mary miraculously appeared on a cactus fiber 'tilma' or cloak of Juan Diego in 1531 near what is modern day Mexico City. Is it a true miracle of the God of the Bible? You decide, better yet, read up on all the apparitions of the Virgin Mary that are approved as worthy of belief by the Catholic Church. To me this is as baffling an image as the Shroud of Turin, with no brush strokes or directionality on the original painting. Thoroughly investigate this miracle before you scoff and dismiss it. I dare you.

Emmy winning filmmaker's story of 3 days Our Lady appeared to Juan Diego. A drama with actors. Miracles occured while filming this movie. Acloud appeared and settled on the hillside they were filming on, just like in the original story. Birds appeared and sang when the script called for it. Contrails formed cloudlike rays of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The filmmaker has been to 250 cities telling audiences about what happened. Every time he filmed, something miraculous happened in front of the camera or behind the camera. The first day they filmed was the worst rainstorm in 100 years, yet not a drop of water fell on them as they filmed. Other things happened in the full length film not talked about here.

THE BLACK MADONNA appears around the world, and the source of many of these images of the Virgin Mary, is our Divine Mother Kali. In Kali Ma's form as the Black Madonna, She often performs absolute miracles very quickly, just as She does in Her more traditional form as Kali. This video is an introductory explanation to all of this. For a free Kali prayer booklet, write to me, Acharya Dan Konnor, MBA, Associate Priest, Washington Kali Temple, by email at jaimaakaalee@gmail.com, and I will send it to you with love.
