Pope John Paul II, in a three-day visit to Mexico, canonized Juan Diego, a 16th Aztec who is said to have encountered a brown-skinned Virgin Mary "Our Lady of Guadalupe" near present day Mexico City. The Mass and procession also celebrated the canonization of Brother Pedro de San Jose Betancourt, a Franciscan monk who came to Guatemala from his native Canary Island in Spain dedicating his life to serve the infirm, the poor and the abandoned during the 17th century.
