El nombre más repetido entre las mujeres mexicanas es el de Guadalupe. Por eso muchas de ellas celebran su santo el 12 de Diciembre, fecha en que una mujer vestida de princesa se le apareció a un natural de esa tierra, a Juan Diego, en la Colina del Tepeyac. Santa María de Guadalupe es el nombre de la celestial señora. Ella pidió que se construyera un templo en su nombre, y el templo se construyó. Más aún, hace algunos años se levantó un nuevo santuario más grande y moderno para darle cabida a un número mayor de peregrinos. Hoy se encuentran muchísimos otros templos en todo México dedicados a la virgen. Casi todas las ciudades tienen el suyo. Aquí se revisa la historia que dio origen a esa fervorosa tradición que reúne a millones de fieles alrededor de la santa imagen.

Mayada lived several months in a cell, along with 17 other women, that she calls shadow-women. Most of them were totally innocent. They were tortured again and again until they confessed to everything they were charged with. Some of them died without hope of ever being free. The ones that survived were kept alive by their friendship, and the stories Mayada told them to make their pain and misery more bearable.
