As proof of that visitation to Juan by the Blessed Virgin, she left the imprint of her image on his cloak.
That cloak now hangs inside the Basilica Church in Guadalupe, Mexico. It is a magnificent image and is visited by millions of people each year. I have had the fortune of being one of those many visitors and have taken pictures of the image itself. Being there is a most moving experience.\
Juan Diego was canonized a Saint by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
