ʻO Guadalupe ka wahine puʻupaʻa a me nā mea hoʻomana o Mexico.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kona kumu e ka moʻomeheu waha, i hōʻike ʻia i ke kaʻina hana i ka makahiki 1666 ma ke ʻano he kūpuna, ākea a like hoʻi me nā kuʻuna kākau, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o nā palapala hilinaʻi ʻia he nui o nā Indians a me nā Sepania e hoʻokumu i ka mea kupaianaha o kona helehelena ma Tepeyac, i ka 1531, ke ʻO ʻInikia Juan Diego ka hihiʻo kupaianaha o kona alo. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua hōʻike ʻia ke kiʻi o ka Puʻupaʻa i pena ʻia ma ka ayate o Juan Diego i kona hōʻike ʻana iā fray Juan de Zumárraga, ka pīhopa mua o Mexico, ka lawe o nā rosa āna i lawe mai ai. ʻO kāna hoʻomana, ʻae mau ʻia e ka hale pule, ʻaʻohe mea kūʻē i ka mōʻaukala o nā aparitions, ua māhuahua mau ia, ma mua o nā mea āpau ma muli o ka manaʻoʻiʻo i nā aloha i hāʻawi ʻia i ka poʻe Mekiko. I kēia ʻano, aia he mau manawa hope loa ʻelua: ʻo kāna hoʻolaha ʻana ma ke ʻano he Patroness of the Mexico Nation, i ka makahiki 1737, iā ia i hana ai i kahi ahulau weliweli i luku ʻia ka lehulehu a nalowale kona noho aliʻi ʻana ʻo Queen of Mexico i 1895.
ʻO ka Guadalupana ka bastion, ke kumu o ka lilo a me ke kiʻi o nā ʻano a me nā ʻāpana he nui i ka mōʻaukala: mahalo ʻo Bernal Díaz del Castillo i ka hoʻolaʻa a nā ʻōiwi nona, ʻo kāna hae ka hae o ka poʻe kipi i kū i ke kūʻokoʻa o Mekiko. a he bastion hoʻi i ka Cristero Revolution.
Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Pius X iā ia "Celestial Patroness of Latin America" ma 1910 a ua kāhea ʻo Pius XII iā ia he Empress o ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 1945 a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia "ma ka tilma liʻiliʻi a Juan Diego ... nā palaki ʻaʻole mai lalo nei i waiho ʻia kahi kiʻi momona loa i pena ʻia."
ʻO ka hoʻolauleʻa kaulana a Guadalupana kahi ʻāpana nui o ka nohona moʻomeheu a me ka nohona kanaka o ko mākou ʻāina a ʻo nā huakaʻi i kona keʻena kapu e paʻa mau a nui.
ʻO kāna luakini, i kūkulu mua ʻia ma kahi kikoʻī i hōʻike ʻia e Juan Diego, he hermitage haʻahaʻa, ʻo ka Ermita Zumárraga (1531-1556). Ma hope, ua hoʻonui ʻo Bishop Montúfar iā ia a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Ermita Montúfar (1557-1622) a ma hope, ma ka wāwae o ka hope, ua kūkulu ʻia ka Ermita de los Indios, ʻo ia ka pālaki o kēia manawa ma 1647.
ʻO kēia hermitage he kahunapule i ka manawa ma mua, a laila he vicarage, kahi parish a me kahi pāʻina archipresbyterial. Kūkulu ʻia kahi luakini hou, ʻoi aku ka nui a me ka momona mai 1695 a 1709 a i loko o ia hale i kūkulu ʻia ai ka Halepule Collegiate a me ka Basilica (1904).
ʻO ka heluna kanaka i kūkulu ʻia a puni kēia keʻena kapu i kūkulu ʻia ma Villa ma 1789 a ma ke kūlanakauhale -Ciudad Guadalupe, Hidalgo- i ka makahiki 1828.
