The Basilica Of Guadalupe (Mexico City)

         This church holds the most prized procession of Mexico. The prized procession? It is the original portrait of the Virgin Guadalupe. (Others know the saint as the Virgin Mary). The story about the portrait goes like this; A man named Juan Diego was a recently converted into the christian religion and was on his way to mass, he met a woman who called herself the virgin Mary- otherwise known as the Virgin Guadalupe. She asked him to do her a favor of building a site where they where at and to make it a church. Her face magically appeared on his cloak and it is said that it was a miracle, no one painted it onto his cloak, it just appeared on it. There are other stories that say that Juan Diego was not a religious person and was going through a rough time, he even thought about committing suicide. While he was taking a walk he saw the Virgin Mary and she told him to give life another chance and to go back to his village with his cloak which a miraculously had Mary's face on it. 
     At least 30 masses are celebrated every day of the year. This church is located in Mexico City as well. The church is visited by many tourists and citizens of mexico included.
