Elvira and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Elvira read Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever"

"I was a stranger and you welcomed me."

A number of denominations of preachers, priests, ministers, etc stood united with Elvira is her sturggle against deportation. There were Catholics, Baptists, Methodists and others.
