Today is the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I have a feeling a lot of us Anglo Protestants only know her from the candles on the bottom shelf in the grocery store. There is, however, a rich tradition surrounding the Virgin's appearance to Juan Diego near Mexico City some 476 years ago. I had NO IDEA this feast day was celebrated so grandly, or by so many.
There is so much to learn about our brothers and sisters in Christ!
Many thanks to Luther Seminary Professor Mary Hess for her personal blog, Tensegrities, which has links to additional blogs about the celebrations of the day.
