The ayate fibers used by the Aztecs at that
time deteriorated after 20 years. Richard
Kuhn (1900--1967), a Nobel Prize winner in
chemistry, stated in his report of the tilma
that it had not been painted with natural,
animal, or mineral colorings.
THE MYSTERY OF HER EYES.
In January 2001, Dr. Jose Aste Tonsmann, now
with the Mexican Center of Guadalupan
Studies, revealed at a conference at the
Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum in
Rome that advances in digital photography now
revealed that the images in the Virgin's eyes
were those assembled with Bishop Juan de
Zumarraga, when Juan Diego first unfurled his
tilma and displayed the miraculous image.
By magnifying the iris of the Virgin's eyes
2,500 times and, through mathematical and
optical procedures, Aste Tonsmann feels that
he is able to identify all the people
imprinted in the eyes. In other words, the
Virgin's eyes bear a kind of instant
photograph of what occurred the moment the
image was unveiled before the bishop.
On March 27, 1956, Dr. Javier Torroella
Bueno, a prestigious ophthalmologist,
certified the presence of the triple
reflection (Samson-Purkinje effect)
characteristic of all live human eyes and
stated that the resulting images of the
bearded man were located precisely where they
should be according to such an effect.
Bueno also pointed out that the distortion of
the images agreed with the normal curvature
of the cornea.
In that same year, another experienced
ophthalmologist, Dr. Rafael Torrija
Lavoignet, using an ophthalmoscope, studied
the apparent human figure in the corneas of
both eyes, with the location and distortion
of a normal human eye, and found that the
Virgin's eyes appeared "strangely alive" when
he examined them.
While working at IBM in 1979, Dr. Jose Aste
Tonsmann, a graduate of environmental systems
engineering of Cornell University, scanned a
photograph of the Virgin's face on the tilma
and was astonished to discover what he
believed to be other human figures reflected
in the eyes.
Aste Tonsmann has since theorized that Our
Lady of Guadalupe not only left a miraculous
image as proof of her apparition to Juan
Diego, but may also have left some important
messages hidden in her eyes that could not be
revealed until new technologies would permit
them to be discovered.
In 1979 Philip Serna Callahan studied the
icon with infrared light and stated that
portions of the face, hands, robe, and mantle
had been painted in one step, with no
sketches or corrections and no paintbrush
strokes.
HER FOOT RESTED ON THE CRESCENT MOON
She had clearly crushed Quetzalcoatl, the
feathered serpent god.
THE STARS STREWN ACROSS THE MANTLE.
She was greater than the stars of heaven
which they worshipped. She was a virgin and
the Queen of the heavens for Virgo rests over
her womb and the northern crown upon her
head. She appeared on December 12, 1531 and
the stars that she wears on her mantle are
the constellations of the stars that appeared
in the sky that day.
THE BLACK CROSS ON THE BROOCH AT HER NECK
Her God was that of the Spanish Missionaries,
Jesus Christ her son who died on the cross.
THE BLACK LACE
she wears the Aztec black Maternity lace
around her belly.
THE FOUR PETAL FLOWER OVER THE WOMB
She was the Mother of God because the flower
was a special symbol of life, movement and
deity. The center of the universe.
HER HANDS ARE JOINED IN PRAYER
She is not God, but clearly there is one
greater than Her.
She points her finger to the cross on her
brooch.
