For years, this movie's original prints were under restoration at the Mexico National Autonomous University Filmotheque (Filmoteca de la UNAM), to be finally released in 2001. During 2000, Mexican music ensemble LAUDES was comissioned to write a score for the (silent)movie. On 1 August 2002, on occasion of Juan Diego being elevated to Sainthood, Mexican TV Channel Once TV broadcast the fully restored movie from the original surviving prints, as a special event, with LAUDES performing the score compiled for the movie, which included authentic prehispanic instruments and music (for the sequences involving Juan Diego and the Virgin) and musical pieces from the early 1910's.
