OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE 4.75
On December 9, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego, an indigenous Mexican peasant, on Tepeyac Hill near Mexico City. Speaking in his native Nahuatl language, she asked him to request that the bishop build a church in her honor. When the bishop requested a sign, Mary miraculously imprinted her image on Juan Diegos tilma a cloak that remains preserved nearly 500 years later. Her appearance, blending indigenous and European imagery, sparked millions of conversions throughout the Americas.

Our Lady of Guadalupe shows us that Gods love transcends all cultures and peoples.

Feast Day: December 12 | Patroness of the Americas

WHAT MAKES HER SPECIAL
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and crafted in soft, cuddle-ready fabric. She wears the rose gown and the star-scattered blue-green mantle of the Tepeyac image, her hands joined in prayer and framed by golden rays. At about 4.75 inches, she is small enough for the littlest hands and easy to bring along to Mass, in the car, or wherever a small companion is needed.

Every Catholic Plush Doll from Little Drops of Water is hand-designed and made to be loved soft to hold, with embroidered features and no hard pieces, so a childs first encounter with a saint is something gentle, huggable, and entirely their own.

A REFLECTION
When Our Lady appeared at Tepeyac she spoke as a mother tender, close, and unafraid of the small. Am I not here, I who am your Mother? she asked Juan Diego. This soft Guadalupe carries that question into a childs arms, a reminder in the language children know best a hug that they are loved, watched over, and never far from their heavenly Mother.
