It is associated with the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Saint Juan Diego at Tepeyac, near present-day Mexico City, in 1531. According to Catholic tradition, Mary's image appeared on Juan Diego's tilma after he presented roses to Bishop Juan de Zumárraga as a sign of the apparition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis font depicts Our Lady in her familiar blue-green mantle and rose-colored gown, surrounded by rays of light with an angel beneath her.
