Marian Apparitions National Geographic
Marian Apparitions — The December 2015 edition of National Geographic has a fascinating and respectful article about the many reported appearances of the Virgin Mary worldwide throughout history and how the Catholic Church treats them.
The article describes how these apparitions have involved in prophecies that came true, formed nations and have been connected to unexpected curse for those thought to be suffering without hope.
