Wood Plaque - Our Lady of Guadalupe by J. Lonneman

“Here is recounted…how quite recently, very miraculously there appeared the ever Virgin Saint Mary—Mother of God and our queen—over at Tepeyac, known as Guadalupe. She first revealed herself to an Indian by the name of Juan Diego. After that, her sacred image appeared on Diego’s cloak in front of the Bishop Don Fray de Zumarraga. When ten years had passed since the conquering of the waters and hills of Mexico City; when arrow and shield lay still, each expanse of water and of hill was lulled into tranquility.
