Miraculous Water
Pocito de Agua Santa Chapel
In 1541, a young native of Tlaxcala, Mexico named Juan Diego Bernardino, a convert to Catholicism working as an altar server at the Franciscan monastery, was going to draw water from a river believed at the time to have healing properties.
There was an epidemic in the village and Juan Diego wanted to bring the water home to his family who were sick. As he came to a hilltop, he encountered a beautiful lady who asked him:
"God bless you, my son, where are you going?"
Juan Diego explained that he was going to bring medicinal water to his sick family members. The lady responded:
"Follow me. I will give you another water with which contagion will be extinguished, and not only your relatives will be healed but whoever drinks of it, because my heart , always favorably disposed to the destitute, can no longer endure seeing such misery without helping them.”
The lady led Juan Diego down the steep hill and showed him a spring well of water at the bottom of the hill. She told Juan Diego:
“Drink of this water as much as you desire, assured that through even the smallest drop the sick will receive not only relief but perfect health.”
The lady then told Juan Diego that an image of her would be found in the grove where they were standing.
Juan Diego took the water from the spring to his sick relatives. All those who drank it were cured and regained perfect health.

The Well
