I was homeless a few years ago when I found an our lady of Guadalupe $5 dollar blanket that was donated to the shelter. Actually another homeless person found it and thought of me. I slept with it every night. As a convert to Catholicism I wasn’t really aware of our lady of Guadalupe’s story or meaning then. But ever since I sleep with an our lady of Guadalupe blanket. My first blanket didn’t survive homelessness, the second was hand woven and not cat proof unfortunately lol. And I love them too much to tell them to get off. Third times the charm.
Okay enough about me. I love that this blanket has larger size options because I’m 5’7” I’m too tall for the standard size of throw blankets so I appreciate the option to go bigger. The material is so soft. Classic minky feel. I say a prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe every morning so I like the idea of being “wrapped in her mantle of protection.” Really makes it special. It also encourages me to pray.
