The miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has remained intact over the past 500 years, even when it has been deliberately attacked.
The Catholic News Agency offers a brief summary of an event that took place on November 14, 1921, and is posted in the basilica in Mexico.
The bent crucifix is now known as "Santo Cristo del Atentado," or "Holy Christ of the Attack.”
Yet, the glass protecting the tilma of Juan Diego was miraculously untouched.
This 100th anniversary is being commemorated with a special Jubilee Year, according to Agenzia Fides.
