Juan Diego's tilma, a cloak made of cactus fibers, is famously known for bearing the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This miraculous image appeared on December 12, 1531, after Juan Diego witnessed a vision of the Virgin Mary on Tepeyac Hill in Mexico. The tilma features the Virgin Mary surrounded by symbols significant to both Indigenous and Spanish cultures, and it has become a central icon of Mexican Catholicism. The tilma remains preserved in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.

What flower is important in Mexican history it convinced the bishop to build a church?

In 1531, the Blessed Mother Mary, appeared to Juan Diego, a Mexican convert, with the request that a church be built on the site where she appeared to him. She had Juan pick Castilian roses, that were miraculously growing there, in the winter, and in Mexico. This was so Juan could carry them to the bishop as a sign that Mary really had appeared to Juan Diego and requested that a church be built on that site.Juan carried the castilian roses in his "tilma", a poncho like cloth he wore over his shoulder, that was made of a coarse fabric made of cactus fiber. An image of Mary appeared on the tilma when Juan poured the roses out for the bishop. This apparition of Mary is called Our Lady of Guadaleupe, and the shrine-church that was built, is on that site today...on Tepeyak hill in Mexico City, Mexico. This is a place of pilgrimage because the original miraculous tilma is still exhibited there.
