Virgen de Guadalupe \/ Our Lady of Guadalupe<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Candles, mosaics, paintings, and banners all honor this image of Mary as she appeared in 1531 to Juan Diego, a poor Aztec convert to Catholicism. His tilma, <\/em>or cloak, on which the image suddenly appeared, is preserved in Mexico City. That the vision came to a simple peasant makes the Virgen de Guadalupe <\/em>a symbol of care and compassion for ordinary believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farm workers, many of Mexican descent, tend crops that are the mainstay of the Yakima Valley economy. In 1962, C\u00e9sar Chavez, a California farm worker and labor organizer, called the first convention of the National Farm Worker\u2019s Association, a forerunner of the United Farm Workers. The UFW championed agricultural laborers\u2019 rights to fair pay and safe working conditions. Speaking of the UFW symbol of a black eagle on a red ground, Chavez said, \u201cA symbol is an important thing. That is why we chose an Aztec eagle. It gives pride\u2026 When people see it they know it means dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
