Understanding Tonantzin: The Origins of Virgin of Guadalupe

The Virgin of Guadalupe was called Tonatzin, which means Our Mother, by the ancient Mexicans, as Sahagún attests in his General History.

«Near the mountains there are three or four places where (the natives) used to make very solemn sacrifices, and who came to them from very distant lands. One of these is here in Mexico, where there is a hill called Tepeácac, and the Spanish call Tepeaquilla, and now it is called Our Lady of Guadalupe, in that place they had a temple dedicated to the mother of the gods they called Tonantzin, which means Our Mother, there they made many sacrifices in honor of this goddess, and they came to them from very distant lands, and from more than twenty leagues, from all the regions of Mexico, and they brought many offerings; Men and women, and young men and women, came to these parties; The crowd of people was great these days, and everyone said let’s go to the festival of Tonantzin, and now that the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe is built there, they also call it Tonantzin, taking the occasion of the preachers who called Our Lady of the Mother of God they call it Tonantzin. Where this foundation of this Tonantzin came from is not known for certain, but we know for certain that the word means its first imposition on that ancient Tonantzin, and it is something that had to be remedied because the name of the Mother of God itself Our Lady is not Tonantzin but God inantzin; It seems this satanic invention, to alleviate the idolatry under the mistake of this name Tonantzin, and now they come to visit this Tonantzin from very far away, from as far away as before, whose devotion is also suspect, because everywhere there are many churches of Our Lady and they do not go to them, and they come from distant lands to this Tonantzin, as in ancient times.”
