Translations:Our Lady of Guadalupe/13/en

Blessing the New World with her appearance and intercession, Mary plainly demonstrated the universal love of the Divine Mother for her children. Our Lady of Guadalupe is known as the Patroness of the Americas. On her feast day countless numbers make the pilgrimage to her shrine, the site of many miracles of healing. Some have noted that in the image imprinted on Juan Diego’s cloak Our Lady wears her belt high on her waist as an indication that she is enceinte (pregnant). Many now pray to Our Lady of Guadalupe to overturn abortion, just as she ended the practice of Aztec human sacrifice centuries ago.
