How did St. Juan Diego become a saint?
Juan Diego had a series of apparitions of the Blessed Virgin under the name of the Virgin of Guadalupe. She chose him to be her special emissary to Bishop Zumaraga of Mexico City to request a shrine be built on that spot devoted to her.
Who was with Our Lady of Guadalupe when she told someone that was her name?
According to the Guadalupe tradition a poor Indian named Juan Diego saw a vision of the Virgin Mary on 9 December 1531 asking him to have a chapel built in her honour in Tepeyac, Mexico. The story seems to have remained unknown for over one hundred years until a remarkable book by a priest named Miguel Sanchez made the image of Mary something which everyone suddenly knew about.In 1996, Guillermo Schulenberg, the abbot of the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City opposed the canonisation of Juan Diego and questioned his historic existence, saying that Juan Diego was "a symbol, not a reality."For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/catholicism/visions-of-the-virgin-mary

Where was Our Lady of Guadalupe born?
There is no evidence that Our Lady of Guadalupe was an actual person, but she might have been an image that formed on a poor Mexican peasant's cloak.Some historians consider that the sixteenth-century Spaniards created the legend of Our Lady of Guadalupe as a Christianised version of the local goddess Tonantzin, with the supposed purpose to encourage the conversion of the indigenous population of early Mexico. Others believe the virgin, Our Lady of Guadalupe was based on Coatlicue, the Aztec mother goddess.According to the Guadalupe tradition, a poor Indian named Juan Diego saw a vision of the Virgin Mary on 9 December 1531, at the place in Tepeyac where there had been a temple of Tonantzin, 'Mother of the Gods'. She asked him to have a chapel built there in her honour. The bishop at first rebuffed Diego, but at the fourth apparition the Virgin instructed him to pick the flowers growing unseasonally on the hill at Tepeyac, fill his cactus fibre mantle with them and go to the bishop. When he opened his cape and the flowers fell out, a miraculous likeness of the Virgin Mary was found imprinted upon it. The bishop was convinced and the chapel was built.Only in 1648 was a book about the vision and the image written by a priest named Miguel Sanchez. Whether the legend even existed very much prior to 1648 is a matter of speculation, but suddenly everyone knew about the Tepeyac image.So, we could place Our Lady of Guadalupe in (1) Mexico, where the story was possibly first created in 1648; (2) again in Mexico, where the image appeared in 1531; (3) first-century-BCE Palestine, where the Virgin Mary was born; or (4) such time and place as either Tonantzin or Coatlicue was born.For more information, please see: http://christianity.answers.com/catholicism/visions-of-the-virgin-mary
