However, since December 8 is also the Second Sunday of Advent this year, the Church has moved its observance of the Immaculate Conception to tomorrow, December 9. In order to still honor a saint who we would typically celebrate on December 9, we have chosen St. Juan Diego, whose feast day is tomorrow, for today’s Saint of the Day. Canonized in 2002 by Pope John Paul II, Juan Diego, the Aztec American Indian who received the visions of Our Lady of Guadalupe, was the first indigenous American to be canonized a saint. Juan Diego was born in 1474 in an area that is now part of Mexico City, Mexico. His indigenous name was Cuauhtlatoatzin, which means “talking eagle.” Juan was most likely from a peasant family and worked as a weaver, farmer, and laborer. When Franciscan missionaries arrived in the area in 1524, Juan and his wife, Maria, were among the first to be baptized, even though Juan was already 50 years old by that time. On December 9, 1531, Juan woke up before dawn to begin the 15-mile walk to attend daily Mass at the Franciscan mission, as he usually did. As he passed Tepeyac Hill, Juan heard music and a voice calling him in his native language. Curiou
