The Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City between December 9 and December 12, 1531.  Her image, now recognized as Our Lady of Guadalupe, appeared miraculously on the back of his cloak to prove to the local bishop that she wanted a church to be built at Tepeyac in her honor.

Each tile is individually hand painted and then fired in a kiln to 1800º F until the vivid jewel-like colors emerge.  They are frost proof and heat proof and can be used for indoor/outdoor architectural use or indoors as a wall hanging or a hot plate.  The size of each tile is 6”x 6” x 3/8” and comes unframed.
