The Virgin of Guadalupe Tattoo Designs

According to Catholic mythology of the first accounts of the Guadalupan apparition, during a walk from his village to the city on December 9th , 1531, Juan Diego saw a vision of a Virgin at the Hill of Tepeyac. Speaking in Nahuatl, Guadalupe said to build an abbey on the site, but when Juan Diego spoke to the Spanish Bishop, Fray Juan de Zumarraga, the prelate asked for a miraculous sign. So the Virgin told Juan Diego to gather flowers from the hill, even though it was witer, when normally nothing bloomed. He found Spanish roses, gathered them on his tilma, and presented these to the bishop. According to the legend, when the roses fell from it an icon of the Guadalupe remained imprinted on the cloth.
