Our lady of zapopan, Franciscan sanctuary in Zapopan, Mexico.
The Basilica contains a wooden Virgin statue measuring thirteen inches in height, crafted from corn stalks and glue using traditional Michoacán techniques.
The Virgin statue arrived in 1541 through Fray Antonio de Segovia during the resettlement of Zapopan after the Mixton War depleted the local population.
The annual Romería pilgrimage draws over one million people who walk 8 kilometers from Guadalajara Cathedral to the Basilica of Zapopan.
The Virgin statue travels between churches in Guadalajara from June 13 to October 4, returning to Zapopan for autumn and winter months.
In 1821, the Mexican government designated Our Lady of Zapopan as General of the Army, ceremonially dressing the statue in military regalia.
