On Dec. 12, the Queen of Angels Catholic Church will honor Our Lady of Guadalupe with a celebration and parade. <\/p>\n
It begins at 4:15 p.m. at the Harmony monument. From there, people will process up North Circle Drive to Queen of Angels Church.<\/p>\n
Besides singers and dancers, six white-gloved young men will carry a statue of Our Lady, which Father Charles Miller will follow during the procession.<\/p>\n
At the church, a play, re-enacting the virgin\u2019s 1531 appearance to the Aztec Indian, Juan Diego, will be performed and a mass will follow. The celebration will end with a potluck supper in the parish hall.<\/p>\n

When Diego opened his mantle to present the red roses, on the rough burlap-like material of his tilma (cloak), the exquisitely delicate figure of Our Lady, four feet, eight inches in height appeared.<\/p>\n
This portrait of the Virgin Mary has remained fresh and lovely for nearly five centuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
