Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe
From my Author’s Note in The Beautiful Lady: Our Lady of Guadalupe
People around the world, from diverse backgrounds and economic levels, come to seek her help, to fulfill a promise, and to gaze at Juan Diego’s cloak, or tilma, which miraculously still has Our Lady’s image preserved on the cactus-fiber cloth. On December 12, her feast day, millions visit the site. In 2002, the Catholic Church canonized Juan Diego as the first indigenous saint of the Americas.
It is a pleasure to share this story and cultural tradition.

THE BEAUTIFUL LADY: an Interview
An interview with Pat about her new book The Beautiful Lady: Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in yesterday's El Paso Times.
The interview also includes a selection of the rich, evocative paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher used to illustrate the story.
"To me, she's this feminine force in the universe that reminds us that there is kindness and patience and love rather than just judgment," Mora said. "Often, religion can be about judgment, and I don't believe that's what she symbolizes."
