The Beautiful Lady: Our Lady of Guadalupe (Read & Listen)

About this book

Every December Grandma Lupita tells Rose the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe. As they make paper flowers to put around her statue Grandma begins: Long ago on a cold December morning near what is now Mexico City a man named Juan Diego put on his cloak and started down the road to church. On his way Juan Diego sees a beautiful Lady at the top of a hill. She tells Juan Diego to go to the Bishop and ask him to build a special church for her. But the Bishop doesnt believe that Juan Diego has seen the Lady; he asks for a sign. Again the Lady sends Juan Diego and again the Bishop asks for a sign. Until finally she provides one: her shining image on Juan Diegos cloak for everyone to see.
