| Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe
(Our Lady of Guadalupe) our beloved Mother of the Americas, who appeared
to Juan Diego our newly canonized saint, is very special to us Hispanos.
I often carve bultos (statues) of the Virgin using the blue paint shown
here, which is more traditional in New Mexico. Our beautiful Morena (dark
skinned) Madonna is adored and beloved. Her feast day is December 12. |
