Sunday (Saturday) Morning Scene. Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Juan Diego's tilma.

This week for our Sunday Morning Scene installment we again depart, as we did just recently, and include an image of something other than a church.  As the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe is December 12, we're putting this up today, Saturday.

Our Lady of Guadalupe is a major Mexican holiday and, in those areas with a signficant Hispanic population, and indeed presently in many areas that do not have one, it's also a major Catholic feast day.

As a note, while it would be impossible to tell from an image of this type, the eyes in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe depict the the reflection of thirteen people.
