The Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a Nahua peasant, at the hill of Tepeyac in December of 1531. Later, Juan Diego carried a collection of roses that had unseasonably bloomed on the hill to the Bishop of Mexico, as proof of the apparition. When he released the roses that he carried in his mantle, an image of the Virgin Mary appeared on the fabric. I based this drawing on that famous image, adding a border of pink roses.
