~ CASTILIAN ROSES ~

How did Castilian Roses grow and bloom on that cold, December barren hill of Tepeyac in 1531? Did the Lord use man to transplant the seeds? Or were the seeds carried there by birds or in some other mystical way? We know by the Codex (Records) that seeds and plants were studied and brought back to Europe from New Spain. This was standard procedure.

We know that many young Castilians came to New Spain as fortune seekers only to discover the Lord had different plans for their lives. As Priests and Brothers, they helped lay a solid groundwork in advance of Mary’s coming to Tenochtitlan. (Mexico City). Possibly they brought seeds to remind them of home. We can only wonder. But it is interesting to note that these roses were called Castilian. Was she confirming her visit to St Dominic in 1208? St Dominic was born in Old Castile Spain.

In no way does this remove the mystery of the abundance of the rosary of roses on the barren hill, where even in Mexico it is too cold in December for roses to bloom. And certainly not in rocky soil.
