OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE WITH 6 CLEAR SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS

22MM OLD GOLD (OXYDIZED METAL) MEDAL - PENDANT

History of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Feastday: December 12
Patron of the Americas

Our Lady of Guadalupe December 12 (USA) - When we reflect on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe we learn two important lessons, one of faith and one of understanding.

Missionaries who first came to Mexico with the conquistadors had little success in the beginning. After nearly a generation, only a few hundred Native Mexicans had converted to the Christian faith. Whether they simply did not understand what the missionaries had to offer or whether they resented these people who made them slaves, Christianity was not popular among the native people.

Then in 1531 miracles began to happen. Jesus' own mother appeared to humble Juan Diego. The signs -- of the roses, of the uncle miraculously cured of a deadly illness, and especially of her beautiful image on Juan's mantle -- convinced the people there was something to be considered in Christianity. Within a short time, six million Native Mexicans had themselves baptized as Christians.

The first lesson is that God has chosen Mary to lead us to Jesus. No matter what critics may say of the devotion of Mexicans (and Mexican descendants) to Our Lady of Guadalupe, they owe their Christianity to her influence. If it were not for her, they would not know her son, and so they are eternally grateful. The second lesson we take from Mary herself. Mary appeared to Juan Diego not as a European madonna but as a beautiful Aztec princess speaking to him in his own Aztec language. If we want to help someone appreciate the gospel we bring, we must appreciate the culture and the mentality in which they live their lives. By understanding them, we can help them to understand and know Christ. Our Lady of Guadalupe is patron of the Americas.

Payment Details

We prefer PayPal for all payments due to its convenience for both the buyer as well as the seller. PayPal is a secure payment service owned by eBay and accepts payments with all major credit cards and echecks. It is not necessary to open a PayPal account to make a payment. If you have any questions on how to use PayPal, feel free to contact us and we will try to help out. Please note that all echeck payments must be cleared by your banking institution (usually takes 3-4 days) before we mail out the item.

We are located in Brazil, which means that personal checks are not accepted by local banking institutions. Please do not send us cash - the postal service is fairly reliable here in Brazil, but we will not be responsible if payments go missing in the mail.

Please bid only if you are planning to pay. Although we are in principle against giving negative feedback, we will file an unpaid item dispute with eBay for items that are not paid within 14 days (this will result in a warning from eBay's administration and may lead to expulsion from the eBay community). If you encounter any problems, contact us and we will gladly try to work-out a solution with you.

Shipping & Handling

We send all items through regular priority mail. We usually mail items every Tuesday and Friday after payment has been received, so we ask our customers to plan their payments accordingly. Delivery to most locations takes an average of two weeks from the mailing date (although we ask to allow for up to three weeks since we have found out that it is not an exact science). Please note that priority mail in Brazil does not offer tracking services.

We do offer shipping discounts for multiple item purchases. Please refer to each listing for details. Contact us for shipping rates if you are interested in large volumes.

The local post office does offer express mail services, which take up to a week for delivery, depending on the location. Contact us for rates.

Insurance is included in the S&H.
