| Summary: | According to a widely accepted tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared in December 1531 to an indigenous neophyte named Juan Diego on a hill outside of Mexico City. The devotion to the Virgin under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of history’s outstanding examples of the union of religious devotion and nationalism. Beginning in the late-eighteenth century, however, there has been a controversy over the historical truth of the tradition. In an article in this issue, Timothy Matovina critiques the author’s works on this subject. What follows is a response to his criticisms. |
