Mexico Virgin of Guadalupe Pilgrimage (La Fiesta de la Virgen de Guadalupe)

The Virgin of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico and she is inextricably tied to Mexican identity or ‘Mexicanidad’ (Mexicanness). We had the opportunity to witness the massive celebration dedicated to her that happens all over Mexico each year from December 9th to 12th. This religious and cultural event is even bigger than Christmas. It's known as the Pilgrimages of the Virgin of Guadalupe or la Fiesta de la Virgen de Guadalupe. The story of the the Virgin of Guadalupe goes back to 1531 near Mexico City. An indigenous farmer named Juan Diego was visited by the Virgin Mary who told him to tell the bishop to build a church in her name on that exact spot, known as Tepeyac Hill. She assured him to go and she would send a sign to show the bishop the veracity of Juan Diego’s claim. When Juan Diego opened his cloak, red roses fell from it and both men were shocked to see that the roses had left an image of the Virgin Mary imprinted on his cloak (tilma). This was the sign the bishop needed and the Basilica of Guadalupe was built on the very spot, as Mary wished.

Huge thank you to the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board and ENroute Communications for inviting us to experience the Virgin of Guadalupe Pilgrimage in Puerto Vallarta.
