The Offering is located in the Tepeyac Garden on the eastern slope of the Hill of Tepeyac in Mexico City, which also contains the Chapel of the Hilltop and a cemetery. The Hill of Tepeyac, once home to a temple dedicated to the Aztec goddess Tonantzin, became a site of Christian worship following the Virgin's apparition. The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe stands at the foot of the hill. The Offering was inaugurated in 1986 and features a towering, nearly four-metre-high figure of the Virgin of Guadalupe, positioned at the centre of the garden, with two waterfalls flowing behind her. Surrounding her is a sculptural group consisting of 16 other bronze-cast figures, including Fray Juan de Zumárraga, Juan Diego, and others who present offerings to her. This work was commissioned by the Basilica of Guadalupe in 1982 and designed by 82-year-old Aurelio Mendoza, a scenic artist, architect, and painter. Mendoza, known for his expertise in creating visually powerful scenes, brought a dramatic, symbolic presence to this monument, which serves as a tribute to the apparitions of the Virgin that took place in 1531. The design reflects the blending of indigenous and Spanish cultural influences and religious traditions in Mexico. The monument is situated near the Fountain of Quetzalcoatl, a basin that, according to legend, marks the sites of the second and third apparitions.
