Queen of the celestial kingdoms, the Virgin of Guadalupe is inextricably connected with Mexico. She straddles the lunar body while her cape enfolds the constellations. Her initial appearance was before Juan Diego in 1531, which resulted in rose flowers growing at that location. Pope John Paul II christened her as special saint over the Americas, and in Catholicism she is revered. Ana Maria Gonzales renders the renowned painting on an antique-fashion Decoupage jewelry box, ‘Sweet Lady of Guadalupe’ that prices at $39.99.

The Virgin of Guadalupe who was named as “Patron Saint of the Americas” by Pope John Paul II, is highly respected by the citizens of Mexico city and is the darling of their hearts. December 12 is celebrated as her birthday. The Virgin of Guadalupe’s famous image made an appearance on the outer parts of Saint Juan Diego’s garment. As proof of this miraculous appearance, Castilian would carry roses. Our Lady of Guadalupe sent the Saint to the bishop of Spain in order to convince the bishop to construct a building for a church that would be built in honor of the Lady. Ana Maria Gonzalez has been inspired by the highly respected Lady to make a decoupage collection of crosses in honor of her existence. And for one cross, Gonzalez chose the banner proclaiming The Virgin of Guadalupe as the “Reina de Mexico y Emperatriz de las Americas,” meaning as Queen of Mexico and Empress of the Americas. The Decoupage cross, ‘Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of Mexico’ sells for $27.95.
