The apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe took place in the vicinity of the Sierra de Guadalupe during December 1531. Anthropologist Dr. Ana Rita Valero de Garcia Lascurain will describe the political, economic and social environment before the Spanish conquest and the historical elements which incited the miracle of the 16th century. Valero will also trace the development and expansion of the Guadalupe fervor.

She is also president of the Archicofradía Universal de Santa María de Guadalupe, a guild in existence from the sixteenth century established at the Shrine of Tepeyac (now part of the Basilica), where the original tilma of Juan is venerated.
