December 12- The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.


Catholics honor Virgin of Guadalupe on feast day: "The Lady of Guadalupe is a beloved religious icon believed by many in Latin America to be a manifestation of the Virgin Mary. The events commemorate the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the year 1531 at Guadalupe near Mexico City after the European conquest of the Aztecs."
