Our Lady of Guadalupe played an important role in Mexican nationalism and identity. In 1810 Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla promoted her as the patroness of the revolt he led against the Spanish, and her image appeared on the rebelsā banners. Emiliano Zapataās peasant rebels also carried the banner of Our Lady when they entered Mexico City in 1914, and, during the civil war in Mexico in 1926ā29, the banners of the rebels bore her image.
