Our Lady of Guadalupe the Biggest Medal Gold

Our biggest medal of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Saint Maria, the Mother of God, is said to have appeared on the top of Tepeyac Hill in Mexico as a Native American girl. According to the legend, she spoke to Juan Diego in nahuatic (the native mexican language) on his way to Mexico City for a morning mass. The year was 1531. The Virgin Mary asked Juan Diego to have a consecrated church built here with the help of the bishop. But Bishop Juan de Zumárraga was skeptical about Diego and demanded a proof. So the Mother of God sent Diego to collect roses and bring them to the bishop. Diego indeed collected them into his Indian tilma. And then, as he presented them to the bishop, a perfect image of the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared on the exposed inner side. The bishop was astonished and immediately convinced, he had the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe built at the designated place. Juan Diego's cloak has been miraculously well preserved to this day in the Basilica de Guadalupe in Mexico City.
