The Lady of Guadalupe is a truly beloved figure in Mexican culture. The story goes that she appeared to the indigenous Mexican peasant Juan Diego in 1531. Since then, she has been known as the ‘Queen of Mexico’ and is considered the patron saint of the country. Her cult is a great sign of faith and devotion, and it also represents Mexican identity and heritage. This lovely figurine shows the classic image of the Virgin Mary wearing a pink mantle and standing on a crescent moon held by an angel. Its small size makes it perfect for home altars!
