For the two months prior to the feast day for Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12, area Catholic Latino families host her small statue in their homes for a week at a time. Families say nightly rosaries in her honor. This statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe was visiting the Heredia-Martinez household in Wilmington in early October.
