Although the Virgin of Guadalupe may be the most well-known apparition in Mexico, additional appearances of the Virgin Mary and various manifestations of the crucified Christ were also venerated, documented, and disseminated.  Examples on display include accounts of Our Lady of Pueblito and Our Lady of the Angels, a history of the Christ of Chalma, and a manuscript recording testimony about a crucifix in a church in Orizaba.
