Brief biography of our lady of guadalupe
Our lady of guadalupe la habra!
"I wish that a temple be erected here quickly, so I may therein exhibit and give all my love, compassion, help, and protection. Because I am your merciful mother, to you, and to all the inhabitants on this land and all the rest who love me, invoke and confide in me; to listen there to their lamentations, and remedy all their miseries, afflictions and sorrows.
And to accomplish what my clemency pretends, go to the palace of the bishop of Mexico, and you will say to him that I manifest my great desire, that here on this plain a temple be built to me."
Words of Our Lady to Juan Diego (Nican Mopohua)
The present church was constructed on the site of an earlier 16th-century church that was finished in 1709, the Old Basilica.
When this basilica became dangerous due to the sinking of its foundations, a new structure called the New Basilica was built next to it; the original image of the Virgin of Guadalupe is now housed in this New Basilica.
Built between 1974 and 19
