Our Lady of Guadalupe refers both to the Marian apparition (apparition of Virgin Mary) to St. Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City from December 9 through December 12, 1531; and to the 16th century painting of the Virgin Mary that is housed in the Basilica of Guadalupe today.
