St James in Tlatelolco.
The church of St James in Tlatelolco is built on the site of an Aztec temple using stone recycled from that building. Adjoining the church is the vermilion-red Franciscan convent of the Holy Cross, the place where St Juan Diego attended weekly catechism classes and Saturday Masses in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On 9 December 1531 he was on his way to Tlatelolco when Our Lady of Guadalupe first appeared to him at Tepeyac. Today, 9 December, is his feast day.
