After Church yesterday (and after changing back into our cold weather gear, man I'm glad I brought my big down-filled snowmobiling coat!) we walked from our hotel in Times Square (conveniently located across the street from M&M World and Olive Garden) to the New York Public Library and then up Fifth Avenue to St. Patrick's Cathedral. One of the flower adorned shrines located in St. Patricks is Our Lady of Guadalupe. From the description, we were not clear on whether Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Our Lady of Guadalupe are one and the same. Do you know?
Well the answer is, kind of. Our Lady of Guadalupe is an icon of the Virgin Mary which appeared on the cloak of Juan Diego, a Mexican peasant, in 1531. The icon is on display in a basilica in the area where the event occurred.
Now you know!
