Tepeyac (film)

Tepeyac (Spanish: El milagro de Tepeyac, lit. 'The Miracle from Tepeyac') is a 1917 Mexican silent film directed by José Manuel Ramos, Carlos E. Gonzáles and Fernando Sáyago.^[1] It was rescued by Aurelio de los Reyes and restored by National Autonomous University of Mexico and was Mexico's only surviving silent film in history.

Lupita Flores knows her fiancé Carlos Fernández was in a boat sunk by a German submarine and she prays to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Later on, she cannot sleep and starts reading a book about the apparition of Tonantzin as the Virgin of Guadalupe.^[2] The story follows Juan Diego, who sees a vision of the maiden at Tepeyac. Eventually, Carlos is saved and Lupita and Carlos go to Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12.
