Farewell for the moment and God bless. Gilberto Quezada jgilbertoquezada yahoo. Below is a series of emails from Gilberto filled with the joy of a "family history discovery", a very special Christmas gift from Gilberto to all of us. Dear Mimi, In going through my mother's personal belongings, I found the attached photograph that she took in of the main altar of the old Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and I would like to share it with you.
My parents went to visit the Basilica right after my father returned from serving in the U. Navy during World War II. Before he left for the war, they made a vow una manda to visit the Basilica if he would return home safe and sound. This photograph is priceless because the tilma where Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared is now housed in the new Basilica, which was built between and , and is adjacent to the old Basilica, on the left side.
The photographs I have seen show the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe inside the new Basilica, but none show the image of when it was housed in the old Basilica. This was in Naturally, I believed her. During the horrific Laredo flood of , the rising waters of the Arroyo El Zacate tore down the west wall of our modest two room house at San Pablo Avenue. But the small section of the wall that held the picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe was not harmed.
After a close examination of the beautiful color picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I noticed for the first time two inscriptions which caught my attention. I will keep you posted on his reply. What I find amazing is that the color image was made on a canvass, but how,? I do not think the color technology was that advanced during that period of time.
