The Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego at Mount Tepeyac--in present day Mexico City.The Virgin of Guadalupe directed Juan Diego to deliver a message to the Bishop in Mexico City instructing him to build a temple for her. When he presented this to the Bishop, Juan Diego was turned away.
Juan Diego returned to Mount Tepeyac and was given red roses to take to the Bishop as proof that he was visited by the Virgin of Guadalupe. Juan Diego did what he was told. As he presented the roses to the Bishop, the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared on Juan Diego's shirt.
