Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine - St. Augustine, Florida - Murals on Waymarking.com

?This information comes from the Shrine's website:

On the tiled replica of the original image of Our Lady of Guadalupe here at Nombre de Dios one will note symbols that were quite familiar to the Aztec natives. For example, the black ribbon symbolizes “woman with child.” The rays of the sun are seen around her body, signifying that Mary is more powerful than the Aztec’s “sun deity.” Similarly, the Aztecs worshipped the moon as a deity; however, in the image, the sacred mother has the moon beneath her feet. Seeing such a depiction would have fed the Aztec’s curiosity about the mother’s child and his importance to the world. Christ had become real to the Aztec people and helped transform their lives through this marvelous image.
