Diocese of Orange brings Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Faithful

Heather McRea, writer for the Orange County Register, wrote the following about Our Lady’s visit to Orange County, California,

The Diocese of Orange will host this month to the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, offering the county’s faithful the opportunity to visit the replica first at Christ Cathedral this weekend and then at several parish churches and even a local hospital.

The four by six foot digitally produced image is the same size and an exact copy of the original Guadalupe Tilma, which church officials say dates to 1531. The original is displayed above the main altar at the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, a far journey for local residents.

The Missionary Image was authorized by the Catholic Church as an evangelizing tool, diocese spokesperson Bradley Zint said, and has been “associated with its own miraculous phenomenon.”

This high-resolution image was made in 1999 and has toured the country, though Zint said he believes it is the first visit to Orange County.
