Translated Title

Dialogue to celebrate the wonderful apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Description

An engraving on the top of the recto shows Juan Diego, with back turned, facing the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe with a hill in the background. Angels flank the scene, and all are encased in an elaborate border.

The text is a short dramatization with dialogue, scenic directions, and a musical chorus. It details a conversation between Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe. It begins with the first apparition at Tepeyac Hill, with the Virgin instructing Juan Diego to go to the Archbishop of Mexico City, Juan de Zumarraga, to tell him to build a temple on the hill for her. The dialogue shifts to this conversation between Diego and Zumarraga, in which the archbishop does not believe the story and sends Diego away. In this dramatization, Juan Diego plans to go home but is taken by the arms back to the apparition. He explains the archbishop's disbelief, and she shows him the Castilian roses miraculously growing on Tepeyac Hill. In another conversation with the archbishop, Juan Diego presents the roses and tilma to validate the apparition.
