This huge ceiling mural of Our Lady of Guadalupe extends from the street entrance of the church on the east to above the altar at the opposite, west, end of the church. The mural is the major attraction of La Crucecita and one of the most visited attractions of the Huatulco region of Mexico.
The mural was painted by Mexican artist Jose del Signo and is about 30 meters long (92') and 285 meters square (881 sq. ft.) in area. It is the largest painting of the Virgin Mary in Mexico. The mural was painted before the dedication of the church which occurred in 2000.
