Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego, a convert to Catholicism, while he was walking to Mass one day. He thought she was an Indian princess but she asked him to go and ask the bishop to build a Church there. He went and saw the bishop, but he thought that Juan was lying and spurned the request. He visited the Lady again, meanwhile, Juan's uncle was dying. The uncle was his last living relative after his wife had died and when he came back from his visit to the Lady, he was cured. Juan visited her another time during winter. She told him to go pick roses that were on the hill. To his astonishment there were roses in full bloom during winter. He brought those roses to the bishop as a sign in his garb, but once he had opened the cloth, an image of Our Lady was on it along with the roses.

All in all the bishop was so astonished that he immediately had a church built on that site.
