People also ask

Why is the Basilica of Guadalupe so famous?

The sanctuary at Tepeyac developed around the veneration of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the cloth image traditionally associated with Juan Diego's tilma and now enshrined in the basilica. In Catholic tradition, the image was miraculously imprinted on the tilma in 1531.

Is Juan Diego debunked?

According to the Vatican, both the vision and Juan Diego's death were well-documented - and the Virgin left an image of herself imprinted on his cloak. According to critics, the whole story is a pious fiction - and Juan Diego never existed.

Why is the Basilica of Guadalupe sinking?

As underground aquifers continue to deplete due to the swelling population's use of water, the sinking has only worsened (although it has been somewhat stabilized by construction that began in the 1990s).

What are the facts about the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe?

The old Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, or Bascilica de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, in Mexico City was constructed from 1531 to 1709. It was built near the place where legend says Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, an Aztec convert to Christianity, saw the Virgin Mary in 1531.
