PATRONESS OF THE UNBORN THE BLACK BELT She was with child because she wore the Aztec Maternity Belt. In 1531 a Lady from Heaven appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 474 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin. *From Catholic Education
