Decoupage cross, "Virgin of Guadalupe"

Details Highly revered and beloved by the Mexican people, the Virgin of Guadalupe inspires Ana Maria Gonzalez to create a collection of decoupage crosses in her honor. In 1999, Pope John Paul II named Our Lady of Guadalupe patron saint of the Americas, and she is celebrated on December 12. Her well-known image miraculously appeared on the Saint Juan Diego's robe, where he was carrying Castilian roses as proof of her appearance to him. Guadalupe sent him to the Spanish bishop to convince him to a build a church in her honor. For this cross, Gonzalez selects the banner that proclaims her as Reina de Mexico y Emperatriz de las Americas, (Queen of Mexico and Empress of the Americas). 0.28 kgs 0.6 lbs 28 cm H x 18 cm W x 2 cm D 11" H x 7" W x 0.8" D Metric US/Imperial Decoupage on pinewood Size may vary slightly Color(s) may vary slightly Made in Mexico Certified and shipped by our office in Mexico Product ID: 154414
