    This apparition became central to Mexican Catholic identity, blending indigenous spirituality with Catholic faith<\/b>. The Virgin’s image transformed the religious landscape of Mexico, and pilgrims have honored her annually<\/b> since the 16th century.

Churches host serenade performances, processions, and special masses<\/b> honoring the Virgin, often drawing hundreds of devoted participants.<\/p>\n
