Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe

Here's the icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe that is venerated in Casa Andrew.

She is the Patroness of the Americas. The icon is made in Greece. Don't ask me what the Greeks are doing with a Catholic icon.

    I've heard that some Byzantine Catholics venerate Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe as if it were an 'icon not made by hands', or Acheiropoietos

    Hey Carolina, that old thing has been laying around for a while now.

    Arch, technically most of the icons today are acheiropoietos, cos they're made by machines =)) Haha.

    Nice one! I think it looks Russian rather than Greek (in terms of style).

If you simply must insult me, try to be humorous about it at least. Thank you.
