She asked that a church be built in her honor. As a sign that she was from heaven, she imprinted her image as she appeared to him on his cloak, which survives to this day. She is shown as an Indian girl, with Child. Soon after the church was built, human sacrifice came to an end there. She is the patroness of the unborn and patroness of the Americas. Sue Kouma Johnson
