In December of 1531, Our Lady blessed the
Americas when she appeared to the Indian Juan Diego. This
collection of rosaries and chaplets is offered to honor the
canonization Juan Diego on July 31, 2002. It is
inspired by the image Our Lady left on his tilma
(cloak), which has endured time and calamity for nearly 500
years.

Apparitions
On December 9, 1531, Our Lady appeared to
Blessed Juan Diego, an Indian Christian, whom she sent to
the bishop with the request to build a Church in her honor
on the hill where she appeared. The bishop asked Juan Diego
for a sign to prove that the Virgin had appeared to him. Our
Lady appeared to Juan Diego again on December 12 and
promised that his uncle would be healed. To comfort
him and encourage him, she spoke these words:
|
|
¿No estoy aqui?
¿No soy tu Madre?
¿No estás bajo de mi
sombra y resguardo?
¿No soy la fuente de
tu alegría?
¿No estás en el hueco de
mi manto,
en el cruce de mis brazos?
¿Qué más has menester?
|
Am I not here, who is
your Mother?
Are you not under my
shadow and protection?
Am I not the fountain of
your joy?
Are you not in the folds of
my mantle?
in the crossing of my arm?
Is there anything else you need?

She directed Juan Diego to gather a bouquet
of roses that miraculously appeared on a bush nearby (roses
do not bloom in the winter cold, not even in Mexico) to
present to the bishop. Juan Diego gathered the roses in his
tilma. When he opened his tilma before the bishop, the roses
felt to the floor, and the bishop was amazed to see the
miraculous image of the Mother of God imprinted on the
cloak. The image persuaded the bishop to believe what Juan
Diego had told him, and the Church was built. |

seven events recorded in the Nican Mopohua, which is the
official account of the visitation of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The Aves are 8mm facetted rounds of cherry quartz, in the soft
earthy rose of her tunic. The sterling-capped Paters

colors of the dawn. The sterling medal of Our Lady of
Guadalupe, complete with crescent moon, is exquisitely

Caravaca Crucifix
In Caravaca, Spain, in 1231, a priest imprisoned during the
Moor occupation was instructed by his captors to say Mass to
satisfy their curiosity. The priest began, but had to stop
when he realized a cross - a required element - was not
present. The captors grew angry at the delay, but then,
through an open window, a cross arrived: the Pectoral Cross
of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, miraculously transported to
the site by two angels.
