Hundreds of parishioners gathered to honor the Virgin of Guadalupe on December 12, 2014, at the Church of the Risen Savior in Burnsville, Minnesota. The Catholic church celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe with music, dancing, tamales and evening Mass. The religious holiday pays tribute to Jesus' mother Mary, Mexico's patron saint. It's believed that she appeared to Juan Diego, an Aztec peasant, on a hill outside of Mexico City in 1531. Guadalupe is considered a manifestation of the Virgin Mary and today stands as one of Mexico's most important religious and cultural icons.
