Our Lady of Remedies

Our Lady of Remedies Church is a 16th century Mexican Catholic ward church worked on the Tlachihualtepetl pyramid in the district of Cholula situated in the focal Mexican territory of Puebla. The congregation was worked with brada stone and decorated with 24-carat overlaid boards and shims, called laminilla. It has a special stepped area in the neoclassical style. It was worked between May 1574 and August 1575 and sanctified on March 25, 1629.

The base on which the congregation is assembled one of the biggest pyramids of the old world, being 54 meters high, covering 54 sections of land and formed by a few superimposed structures through the span of 6 centuries. The annihilation endured by Hernan Cortes in the clash of the Noche Triste prompted a rushed break of the survivors up to Naucalpan. En route they endured the loss of numerous officers and local partners just as remarkable prisoners, for example, a few offspring of Moctezuma.

The Spanish shielded and recuperated in the Indian sanctuaries until they could go to battle the Aztecs at the Battle of Otumba. Legend tells that one of Cortes' officers, Gonzalo Rodriguez de Villafuerte, had with him one of the little religious pictures known as castrenses, and he shrouded it among the aloes so as to do a reverential activity of appreciation. The legend tells that amid the fight, a young lady tossed soil according to the assaulting locals fixing the Spanish triumph.
