To this day, in Nahuatl- speaking communities, the Virgin Mary continues to be called Tonantzin and her appearance is commemorated each year on December 12. Tonantzin means "Our Sacred Mother " in the Nahuatl language and she continues to be connected symbolically to the earth and, as the Virgin of Guadalupe, she's associated with a series of five Marian apparitions to a Mexican peasant named Juan Diego and his uncle Juan Bernardino in Tepeyac Hill, near Mexico City. TONANTZIN GUADALUPE remains a symbol of resistance and continuity of indigenous beliefs in the face of colonization. English and Nahuatl are used in the dialogues. Music composed by Marcos Loya. Tonantzin Aria entrance created by Juliette Blasor. Story adapted by Denise Blasor and produced by Rene Heredia.
