In 1531, '''La Guadalupana''' "appeared to humble Juan Diego" (and imprinted her image on his mantle). "The signs, of the roses, of the uncle miraculously cured of a deadly illness, and especially of her beautiful image on Juan's mantle, convinced the people there was something to be considered in [[Christianity]]. Within a short time, six million Native Mexicans had themselves baptized as Christians...Mary appeared to Juan Diego not as a European madonna but as a beautiful [[Aztec]] princess speaking to him in his own Aztec language" (1). (December 9, 1531.)

"'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.'"
