Ocotlán: A Marian Sign Amid Plague, Conquest, and Hope
Description
A Marian encounter in Tlaxcala brings burning trees that do not consume and a spring that heals, set amid conquest, epidemic, and a people searching for hope. We trace witness accounts, early Franciscan discernment, the rise of a shrine and basilica, and the enduring call to mercy and conversion.
