"Many years before, from the faraway land of Spain, men in long robes, who called themselves Brothers of St. Francis, came to the land of the Nahuas. They brought with them the lovely roses of Castilla, and they told wondrous stories of the Son of the Great Creator, the one they called the Lamb. The holy stories etched deep and vivid pictures in Talking Eagle's mind. Talking Eagle became a faithful follower, and received a new name that would mark his place in the flock of the Lamb.... Talking Eagle became Juan Diego..."
This is the traditional story, told simply and elegantly, of how Juan Diego meets the beautiful Lady on a windswept hilltop in December and carries her message to the disbelieving bishop. The Lady fills Juan's cloak with full-blooming roses and impresses her image on its fibers as a sign for the bishop to fulfill her request of building a house of prayers.
This story tells of how, over many years, countless hands built the great church dedicated to the Lady of Roses, Nuestra Senora Guadalupe on the hill of Tepeyac. And it stands there still, as a center of prayer, healing, and hope for all of Our Lady's precious children of the Earth.
Everyone will enjoy the story of Talking Eagle and the Lady of Roses and the wild and glorious illustrations of award-winning, Taos, New Mexico, artist Amy Cordova.
Also included is an informative afterword by Gene Gollogly.

About the Author
Eugene Gollogly (1950-2021) was born and raised in England, and moved to the U.S. as a young man to work for Garber Communications, which included Free Deeds magazine, the Spiritual Science Library and the "original" SteinerBooks. He then worked for several New York publishers, initially with a focus in religious publishing. While working at Continuum Publishing, he met his future business partner, Martin Rowe, with whom he founded Lantern Books in 1999. Later, he also became president and CEO of Anthroposophic Press/SteinerBooks. Gene traveled widely and worked tirelessly on behalf of publishing, Anthroposophy, and the practical work of spiritual science in the world--particularly for anthroposophically-extended medicine and biodynamics. Gene passed away on January 7, 2021, at the age of 70.
