This structure of the Guadalupe’s Virgin in New Lion disappeared ten years ago after Hurricane Alex, which caused rains very strong in the region. After that, neither authorities nor residents could find it.

  • On that occasion, a scanner was even used to try to locate, but the efforts were nil.

Ironically, the passing of the other hurricane (now Hanna) rekindled people’s faith in New Lion, when last week inhabitants near the Santa Catarina river observed part of the metal structure and immediately notified the authorities; therefore, primary service personnel began the rescue work on the figure, which is approximately 12 meters long and three meters wide.

  • It should be remembered that Pope John Paul Second, during his visit to New Lion in the year of 1990, he blessed this figure.

Now it is expected that this figure will be restored in its entirety and then be placed in its original place, between the Santa Catarina river and Constitución avenue, in front of the Obispado neighborhood, where a replica of the Guadalupe’s Virgin so that the faithful could have that special place.
