The Tilma

The Tilma of St. Juan Diego, on which Our Lady appeared, is so durable. A scientist even said that "one of the most bizarre characteristics of the cloth is that the back side is rough and coarse, but the front side is ‘as soft as the most pure silk, as noted by painters and scientists in 1666, and confirmed one century later in 1751 by the Mexican painter, Miguel Cabrera.” Certainly, that is mind blowing.
