"Our Lady of Guadalupe is a 16th century Roman Catholic icon depicting an apparition of the Virgin Mary. It is Mexico's most beloved religious and cultural image. Our Lady of Guadalupe's feast day is celebrated on December 12, commemorating the account of her appearances to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City" [more]The image of Mary is only a part of a larger mural that fills the front wall of the market. I would estimate the height of the mural to be around 20 feet. The width at around 60 feet. [click the images to enlarge]
