Capilla Calvario Chihuahua

The Real Story of the First Sighting of Jesus in a Tortilla in 1977 | Eater

"After the face appeared on a tortilla in 1977, the cooked tortilla wedge was moved from the family dining room into a small glass-fronted capilla built in the front yard on a concrete slab the father poured. The tortilla rests on a pedestal surrounded by cotton and lit candles each morning, with santos and milagros — including a large, colorful image of La Señora Virgen de Guadalupe — left by visitors who come from across the country to see it, leave offerings, and seek healing. The shrine attracted throngs of curious pilgrims and tourists, so much so that the family began keeping visitor notebooks; the attention brought both support and ridicule, spawning national media appearances and pop-culture references while also helping the mother recover faith and the family regain hope." - Angelica Rubio
