Join us for a short guided reflection with the work Our Lady of Guadalupe to commemorate her Feast Day. Our time in the galleries will provide a restful, contemplative moment to think and pray with the image that has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Mexican culture and identity. This spiritual wellness opportunity is a chance to nourish the mind and heart in the midst of the busyness of the holiday season. All are invited to meditate and reflect more deeply on the themes this painting inspires.
