Izamal Virgin Mary Apparition Story
One of my favorite places to visit in the Yucatan is Izamal, the yellow city. All the downtown buildings are painted yellow in Izamal, as is the Convent of Padua. It houses the Virgin of Izamal.
Although I have never seen her story written up in a book on apparitions of the Virgin Mary, I think she should be. Like the Czestochowa “Black Madonna” of Poland, the Izamal virgin became too heavy to move, thereby showing its desire to remain in Izamal. It is a statue originally made in Guatemala.
In the Yucatan Travel Movie, we visit Izamal during the December celebration of the Virgin of Izamal.
