At dawn a heavenly figure comes to meet him, revealing herself as "Maria, mother off all of them". To confirm the first vision, the lady not only entrusts him with several messages, but also, in the final vision, leaves her portrait mysteriously present on his tilma. It is the portrait of a young woman looking downward. She is clothed in a dress figured with roses and mantle sprangled with stars.

from the time of its occurance, this event has moved people. However, because of the fascination with the image itself, doubts have been raised, causing some to reject the visions altogether. This image of Our Lady of Guadalupe along with the Shroud of Jesus in Turin have possibly become the most mysterious images on earth. The more studies are made of the image and the cloth, the more mysterious it all becomes for beliviers and scientists alike.
