Marian devotion
Our Lady of Guadalupe in Nicaragua
León, Nicaragua
The devotion to Guadalupe came with the Mexicans who migrated to Nicaragua.
In León, the Church of Guadalupe is a center of devotion for the Nicaraguan community of Mexican origin. The image was brought from Mexico in the 19th century.
Nicaraguans venerate the Virgin of Guadalupe as the mother of Latin America. Every December 12, they celebrate the feast with processions and dances.
Tradition tells that the Virgin of Guadalupe protects all the peoples of America, regardless of their origin.
