Abstract
Hall examines the devotion to Mexico’s Virgin of Guadalupe in Spain and then in Mexico during the last six centuries. She draws the attention on how the Virgin was seen as a protector, mother and helper for travelers, pilgrims and migrants, from the Reconquest and Conquest in Spain through Mexico and into the United States. “Guadalupe. Queen of Mexico and the New World” concludes with Pope Francis’s visit to the Virgin of Guadalupe in February 2016, analyzing especially issues of Mexicans and other migrants into the United States.
