Written account of Marian apparition
Image of the Virgin Mary Mother of God of Guadalupe (Spanish: Imagen de la Virgen María, madre de Dios de Guadalupe) published in 1648, was the first written account of the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It retells the events of the 1531 apparitions that led to the Marian veneration in Mexico City, New Spain. It was drafted by the secular priest Miguel Sánchez and dedicated to Bishop Pedro de Barrientos Lomelin, based on the prophecy of the Woman of the Apocalypse in Revelation 12.
