On December 12, the Catholic church, and in particular the Latin America, celebrates Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is venerated by Catholics as the patron and queen of all Spanish-speaking peoples of the American continent in particular.
Her feast is celebrated on December 12 as it is the day of his last appearance. In Mexico it is celebrated with particular emphasis and December 12 is considered by the Mexicans a religious holiday. Her veneration dates back to the middle of 1500. Even Father Kino was an ardent devotee enough to place his image to illustrate his “Astronomical Exposición of the Comet” of 1681. Paper-the-sky. 
Its design represents the part of the map of the sky where he kept track of the daily path of the Great Comet of 1681. Kino has placed his drawing of the Virgin of Guadalupe above the astronomical constellation of the Virgin with its star Spica (ear of corn) and Vindemiatrix (Harvesters).
