On the evening of the Tuesday 2 April 1968 (24 Paramhat 1684 AM), during the Papacy of

Pope Kyrillos VI,

the Virgin Mary appeared in various forms of celestial light at her Church in Zeitoun, Cairo.

The following details make the apparition distinct:

 

T
he Virgin appeared in various forms of celestial light that the crowds saw very clearly. Accompanying the virgin was a variety of celestial apparitions such as illuminated doves, clouds of light, and intense billows of incense whose source was unknown.
Among the first ones to witness the apparition were Muslim workers at the bus garage across the street from the church.
The apparition brought about many miracles that were witnessed by and occurred to Christians and non-Christians alike. Competent doctors who conducted medical tests on those who were miraculously healed confirmed the veracity of these miracles.
Those who witnessed the apparition on a nightly basis reached into the tens of thousands. People of all ethnicities and religions saw the Virgin with their own eyes and raised their hands to her asking for her intercession by means of songs of praise, jubilation, and tears.
On some nights the apparition lasted for a few hours non-stop.
The successive nightly apparition of the Virgin lasted for more than two yars in the manner previously unknown to the east or the west.
Forty years after this great apparition thousands of those living in the Zeitoun area and outside of it continue to testify to what they observed regarding the apparition and the miracles that happened to them. The church in Zeitoun is currently collecting these testimonials that they may be available to anyone who would like to peruse them.

A Word For You

  • Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. (John 20:15,16)
