Apparitions of Mary

Apparitions of Mary are reported supernatural appearances of the Virgin Mary, where she is seen or communicated with by individuals or groups. These events often occur in specific locations and times, sometimes accompanied by messages urging faith, prayer, or moral reform. While not officially recognized as part of dogma, many Catholics find these visions meaningful and spiritually significant. Apparitions are considered credible if they align with church teachings and are authentic, often undergoing investigation by church authorities. They serve as reminders of Mary’s role as an intercessor and her ongoing presence in the spiritual lives of believers.
