It has also survived acid and a bomb • Pigments of the picture do not come from any known substances • No brush strokes or sketches exist, it is almost like a photo. • The tilma maintains a temperature of 98.6 degrees F. • Heartbeats have been rumored to be heard • Microscopic views of Mary’s eyes show the image of a man; a reflection of what she saw: Juan Diego and the people around him.

  6. Our Lady of Guadalupe Symbolism -Starts on her mantle match those of actual constellations as seen in the night sky on that very day. • Designs of her dress match the landmarks of Mexico • “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet” Revelation 12:1 • The Aztec word “quetzelupe” (sounds like Guadalupe) means “one who crushes the serpent.” A main Aztec god Quetzalcoatl was depicted as a snake.

  7. Our Lady of Lourdes • 1858 • St. Bernadette • Lourdes France • Mary appears to Bernadette, “I am the Immaculate Conception” (dogma was just promulgated in 1854). Miraculous spring bubbles up and still exists today. Over 4000 unexplainable healings have been attributed to the water.

The awestruck onlookers discovered their wet clothes dry and local newspapers recorded the astrologically unexplainable event
