The Virgin of Guadalupe: symbol of faith and unity for Mexicans
Every December 12, millions of people around the world celebrate the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, one of the most important religious festivals on the Catholic calendar and a profound symbol of identity and devotion for the Mexican people. In New York, where the Latino community is growing and strengthening, this date is also celebrated with joy, prayer, and, of course, traditional mariachi music.
Why is it celebrated on December 12th?
The history of the Virgen de Guadalupe dates back to 1531, when, according to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared on Tepeyac Hill, Mexico, to the indigenous Juan Diego. This apparition gave rise to one of the most visited shrines in the world and a devotion that transcends borders.
Every year, on this special date, families gather in churches, parishes, homes, and public spaces to pay tribute with prayers, songs, flowers, processions, and Mexico’s most representative music: the mariachi.
Mariachi and the Virgin of Guadalupe: A Connection That Moves the Soul
