I don't know what is taugh at the local Catholic Church here in my small town, but I do know that of people at my work most are Hispanic and Catholic. I can count no less that 4 or 5 images per day on cars (at any time of day or night at our work) that have pictures of Mary with the halo holy style. Most the cars have a small statue of Mary on the dash of the car too.

If those were Mexicans then it was probably Our Lady of Guadalupe. An Indian, not Mary.

I don't know, I'll ask Monday and see what I find out. Thanks for the thought provoking statement.

Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the names Mary is called by, because of her appearance as an Indian princess to a Mexican named Juan Diego, back in the 1500's. Her image was mysteriously transferred to his tilma (a poncho type garment) as proof to the Bishop that Juan Diego had actually had an encounter with the Blessed Mother.
