On
the 9th December 1531 the " mother of God " appeared to the Aztec Juan
Diego in the today's Mexico City for the first time, gave him a message
and sent him with it to the first bishop of the " new world ". This was
the prelude to one of the biggest and still for each visible riddle of
the world. A riddle which wrote world history.
The bishop prior Juan Zumárraga did not believe the man that the
mother Maria has appeared to him. Also after an other meeting Diegos
with the Mother of God he did not believe. The bishop required a sign,
a miracle which should deliver the proof of the divine appearance to
him. - And he got the demanded proof! It is a riddle scientific till
this day and at the same time one of the holiest and from Vatican as
really approved relics of the Christendom.
Juan Diego got from the Mother of God the order to bring flowers in his
Tilma, an easy material cape of the natives at that time of Mexico, to
the bishop. Before, however, the Aztec looked after his being dying
uncle - however, this was cured in wondrous way. The first miracle of
Guadalupe had happened.
When now Juan Diego with the flowers once more received an audience
with the bishop prior Juan Zumárraga, the proof of the reality
of the Marien's phenomena should occur. He opened his Tilma, dropped
the flowers on the ground and at this moment happened the inexplicable
mystery which wrote church history and world history! On the roughly
weaved agave material suddenly appeared a colorful effigy of Maria,
which mother Jesus Christus', from 142.24 centimetre size.
Up to the today this is to be admired as a "Tilma of Guadalupe"
world-famous become relic in Mexico daily. As if she has originated
only yesterday, she has lost nothing of her splendour. Already this is
sensational, because agave fabrics never survive normally 500 years
regardless of. Even a bomb attack about 75 years ago and nitric acid
could wear of the Tilma nothing.
After appearance of the Marienwunderns on the fabric a religious
dizziness went through completely Mexico. Eight million Aztecs
converted to the Christianity, and Maria von Guadalupe was confirmed by
Vatican and was explained to the protective patroness of Mexico.
One ascribes numerous miracles to the effigy of Maria. An epidemic with
700,000 deaths in Mexico ended, for example, straight away when the
people prayed before the effigy. Vatican was alarmed and sent an
investigation of the miracles and the effigy. Their result was
unequivocal: It is of supernatural origin and with certainty no
painting, because the slightest tracks of colour are not found in the
fabric. Pope Johannes Paul II this development called a " unique
process " of the history in his Mexico visit in 1979.
Also more modern investigations produced no answer. They threw up
rather new questions and confirmed the supernatural origin of the Tilma
of Guadalupe. In the eyes of the Marien's effigy even human persons
appeared with precise investigations. As in a mirror the witnesses of
the miracle of 1531 are to be seen there till this day. The company
KODAK compared this to a photograph, however, had no explanation of it.
The different popes in distant Rome recognised not only the miracle as
a real sign of God, allowed to crown it and make copies and statues of
Maria von Guadalupe for Vatican, but also initiated the beatification
process for the Aztec Juan Diego. Pope Johannes Paul II, even
confessing Marien's admirer, beatified Juan Diego, in the end, and in
2002 holy. Johannes Paul II was also the first pope who visited the
holy pilgrim's place Guadalupe personally and prayed there. He opened
under the picture of the Madonna the third bishops' conference of Latin
America. A proof of the value of the Tilma of Guadalupe in the church.
Differently than with many supposed phenomena of the Madonna in the
world lies since 1531 in Guadalupe a handy proof of the wondrous events
- not to explain academically, but to admire day by day in unbroken
splendour. Guadalupe is, in the meantime, one the biggest place of
pilgrimage of the earth with yearly nearly 20 million pilgrims, and
till this day the water spring resulted in as wondrous way at the place
of the phenomena deeply has religious meaning.
This book follows the tracks of the centuries to last, but still
topical events. From the arrival of the Spaniards in the empire of the
person-sacrificing Aztecs, about the academically not explicable
miracles of the Tilma and their investigations till this day. Full of
suspense like a historical-religious crime film, but till this day
checkable.
The world holds ready many mysteries and riddles which can be often
only supposed, however. However, in Guadalupe in Mexico a supernatural
object of which millions people convince themselves yearly is to be
admired till this day daily. The " mother of Latin America ", as pope
Johannes Paul II called the Madonna's picture on the material, belongs
to the biggest phenomenon of the science and could not be explained by
this up to now.
Follow me now on the traces of a mystery ...
