About the Image

On December 12, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City. As proof of the apparition, Castilian roses bloomed on the barren hilltop. When Juan Diego opened his tilma before the bishop, the image of the Virgin was found miraculously imprinted on the fabric. That cloak — nearly 500 years old — still hangs today in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

The digital archive of the Sacred Original was created in Mexico by Digital Color, S.A. de C.V., and on December 12, 1998 Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera, Archbishop Primate of Mexico, certified a print from it as a faithful reproduction. Our canvases are printed on archival stock in the USA from that image lineage, and each ships with both Mexican certifications. Read the certificates and what they do and do not say.
