There have been long standing accounts that the Virgin de Guadalupe, appeared to a Nahua Mexican peasant by the name of Juan Diego in Mexico on December the year of 1531. Tepeyac Hill is north of Mexico City, where a shrine was dedicated to the female Aztec earth deity, Tonantzin. The same deity is known as the Mexican Virgin de Guadalupe or the Virgin Mary.

She continues to be venerated today and is still called Tonanztin, but also known as the Catholic Virgin de Guadalupe. Her appearance is commemorated in Mexico on December 12th. At the Tepeyac Hill, indigenous Nahuas, Aztec, Priests performed many sacrifices of children in honor of the Aztec goddess Tonantzin.
Following the Conquest in 1519–21, Cortez and his men destroyed a Tonantzin temple at Tepeyac, stopped the sacrifices of innocent children, and built a chapel dedicated to the Virgin de Guadalupe on the same site. Tonantzin, the beloved mother of the Aztec gods, is still celebrated in Mexico around the winter solstice. The winter solstice of 1531 occurred on December 12, 1531, according to the National Autonomous University of Mexico, a public research University of Mexico.
As we continue to see a push for the invasion of U.S.borders from the South, illegal Aliens of Nahua communities (Aztec) bring across the border states with them their Aztec culture, spiritual practices, and beliefs. Tonantzin is still commemorated to this day on December 12th each year.

Tonantzin means “sacred mother” in the Nahuatl language and continues to be connected spiritually with fertility, and to the earth. With the appearance of the Virgin de Guadalupe on Tepeyac Hill, many of the people of that region, believe it was the return of their fertility mother earth Aztec goddess Tonantzin.
The Catholic Church in Mexico recognizes the apparition of the Virgin de Guadalupe as real, as well as the Nuhua, Aztecs, believe Tonantzin as their national symbol of protector for the indigenous people.
Her mythical title as the Aztec indigenous earth goddess and protector of the Mexican people, plays in well with the massive illegal migration of Nuhua Aztec Mexicans, and with the help of the ever intruding United Nations protection and Declaration on the Rights of Mexican Indigenous People in the U.S. and seek to one day invade all of America.
The U.S. Southwest is where their Mystical land called Aztlan once stood. Long before at gunpoint they argue that gachupines–white Spaniards–stole their land. It is used as a rallying cry for ethnic DACA separatist–and radicalized Socialist/Communist rallying groups, angry that the white conquerors conquered their land of Aztlan: California, Oregon, Washington State, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

In 1810 the Virgin de Guadalupe became the symbol of the Mexican independence movement when Mexican Priest Miguel Hidalgo Costilla called the Indians to action. He tapped into powerful forces that had been simmering for over three hundred years. With clubs, slings, axes, knives, machetes and intense hatred, the Indians took on the challenge of the Spanish artillery when he raised a banner of the Virgin de Guadalupe, and in a roaring cry shouted “Mueran los gachupines! Viva la Virgin de Guadalupe! (Death to the Spaniards!, Long live the Virgin de Guadalupe!) Thus proclaiming the Virgin de Guadalupe as the Mexican Revolutionary goddess then, and more importantly, now! Today, we see youth demonstrating on social media with the same anger and hate Mexicans were under with the revolutionary Virgin de Guadalupe, their Aztec Tonantzin earth goddess.
In my own San Miguel family we have encountered these Aztec beliefs in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean Basin. Ship Captain Fernando San Miguel, from Ledesma (Salamanca Province), Spain, sailed with Christopher Columbus in 1493 on the second voyage to Santo Domingo. He lived there until 1530. Melchor San Miguel from Valladolid, Spain, joined Hernan Cortez. He was with Cortez when he conquered Mexico and overthrew the Aztec Empire. He also accompanied Cortez to Panuco and Honduras to conquer those areas. He was a founder, and citizen of Oaxaca in 1554.
The above about the San Miguel Family was taken from Indice autobiografico de mas de 6 mil pobladores de la America hispana I. 1493-1519, Peter Boyd-Bowman.
