Roses and Our Lady of Guadalupe

December 12th is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

La Sagrada Familia Cleveland

Blessing, and incensing the roses. St. Juan Diego's tilma (cloak) had Castilian (Damask) roses that he gathered at the Virgin's command, from the usually barren Tepeyac hill. When he released the flowers before the archbishop, the tilma had her portrait upon it. This was the miracle of the roses on 12 December 1531.

Everyone received a rose after Mass.

I have noticed some of my older posts have had their formatting changed. I generally post fotos in blogger's large version, they have been made medium, or small. The text copy has had paragraph structure eliminated.
