Is it true that there is a light in the shape of an embryo in the abdomen of Our Lady of Guadalupe?

Answer 1

Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in Mexico as the pregnant Mother of God to Saint Juan Diego, a Chicemeca Indian, on December 9, 10 and 12, 1531. She left a Miraculous Image of her appearance on his cactus fiber cloak, or "tilma", which still exists today for all to see in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.

She is portrayed as being pregnant. But witnesses say that on April 24, 2007, the same day that abortion was legalized in Mexico City, a bright light in the shape of an embryo is said to have been seen on Our Lady of Guadalupe's image at the belly. The light is no longer present.

Answer 2

The original story behind Our Lady of Guadalupe seems to have remained unknown for over one hundred years until it appeared in a remarkable book by a priest named Miguel Sanchez, which fact must raise some doubts as to its veracity. The entire history of the purported miracle suggests that Fr. Sanchez wrote his book to impress the native people of Mexico, not to record history.

Just as remarkable is the tradition that a light in the shape of an embryo is said to have been seen somewhat briefly on Our Lady of Guadalupe's image at just the time the laws of Mexico City were updated to legalise abortion. In the unlikely event that this story is based on some truth, one could wonder why the virgin Mary would choose to make her feelings known in this way, and whether she was expressing appreciation or disapproval of the change.
