This beautiful statue depicts Our Lady of Guadalupe, the loving Mother who appeared to St. Juan Diego in 1531 on Tepeyac Hill, leaving her miraculous image on his tilma. She is a tender, watchful mother, always ready to hear our prayers and guide us to her Son, Jesus.
Mary is especially venerated as the Patroness of the Unborn, for she herself carried the Savior of the world in her womb. Her gentle image, with the maternity sash and tender embrace, reminds us of the sacredness of every life from conception, and her maternal love reaches out to all children, born and unborn, and to the families who love and protect them.
She is also the Patroness of the Americas, a source of hope, comfort, and strength for the faithful. Her feast day, celebrated on December 12, is a day to honor her miraculous presence and her endless care for all her children.
Placing this statue in your home invites Mary’s tender protection, her prayers for the unborn, and her loving guidance into daily life, reminding us to always turn to her with trust and devotion.
Feast Day : 12 December
