Catholics Honor Virgin Of Guadalupe For Feast Day

Today Catholics across the Americas celebrate the 'Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.' The faithful believe that on this day in 1531, an apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared in Mexico City, in the form of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Host Michel Martin discusses today's celebrations with Friar Gilberto Cavazos-Gonzalez of the Catholic Theological Union.
