The Franciscan Store
Our Lady of Guadalupe Holy Bear
The Our Lady of Guadalupe Holy Bear is 9" and made of high quality fabric and embroidery.
This soft, mint-green Holy Bear honors Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas and a symbol of faith, compassion, and hope. Embroidered on the bear’s chest is the beautiful image of Our Lady as she appeared to St. Juan Diego, surrounded by radiant golden rays. The bear holds two miniature “Holy Bible” books in its paws (English & Spanish versions) and is finished with a festive red and green ribbon around its neck — the colors of Mexico.
Bible hangtag reads words spoken to Juan Diego: My dearest son, I am the eternal Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God, Author of Life, Creator of all and Lord of the Heavens and of the Earth . . . and it is my desire that a church be built here in this place for me, where, as your most merciful Mother and that of all your people, I may show my loving clemency and the compassion that I bear to the Indians, and to those who love and seek me . . .
