Before Her Image
Light a Candle
Since the days of St. Juan Diego the faithful have left a light burning at Tepeyac. Choose a candle below and light it before Our Lady's image — freely, as a way to lift your intention and rest your prayer beneath her mantle. Each light is placed among the burning candles below, visible to all who gather here.

A Word on Lighting a Candle
"Am I not here, I who am your Mother?" — no gift is required to be heard by her. Lighting a candle here is freely given, a quiet way to place your intention before Our Lady and to keep your prayer burning in your heart.
