These phenomena, known as <strong>Marian apparitions<\/strong>, form one of the most fascinating \u2014and also most delicate\u2014 chapters in the history of Christian spirituality.<\/p>\n<p>The Church&#8217;s stance towards apparitions is, on principle, <strong>cautious and rigorous<\/strong>. A diocesan commission of inquiry examines the facts for years: the testimonies, the life of the seers and the spiritual fruits produced. Only at the end of this process may the bishop \u2014or, in exceptional cases, the Holy See\u2014 declare the events <em>\u00abworthy of belief\u00bb<\/em> (<em>constat de supernaturalitate<\/em>), which does not mean that the faithful are obliged to believe in them, but that the Church finds no contradiction with the faith.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most significant approved apparitions are: <strong>Guadalupe<\/strong> (Mexico, 1531), where the Virgin appeared to the Indian Juan Diego, leaving her image imprinted on his tilma; <strong>Lourdes<\/strong> (France, 1858), where Bernadette Soubirous saw the Lady 18 times in the grotto of Massabielle; <strong>F\u00e1tima<\/strong> (Portugal, 1917), with the three little shepherds who received the celebrated \u00abSecrets\u00bb and the prodigious \u00abMiracle of the Sun\u00bb; <strong>Beauraing<\/strong> and <strong>Banneux<\/strong> (Belgium, 1932\u20131933), two apparitions of the same period approved in 1949.<\/p>\n<p>The case of <strong>Medjugorje<\/strong> (Bosnia-Herzegovina, since 1981) remains under official study by the Holy See. In 2024 the spread of the Medjugorje prayer was authorised, though without any pronouncement on the supernatural character of the events. Millions of pilgrims continue to visit this place every year.<\/p>\n<p>In this section we gather the principal accounts and analyses of Marian apparitions around the world, both those approved and those awaiting the Church&#8217;s definitive discernment. Each page includes history, context, the Virgin&#8217;s messages and the current state of the process of ecclesiastical recognition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rr-sec-cita\">\n  \u00abDo whatever he tells you.\u00bb<br \/>\n  <strong>\u2014 John 2:5 (the words of the Virgin Mary at the wedding at Cana)<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rr-sec-box\">\n  <strong>What is a Marian apparition?<\/strong> The Catholic Church distinguishes between <em>approved apparitions<\/em> (those that have passed the rigorous process of diocesan and pontifical investigation and have been declared \u00abworthy of belief\u00bb), <em>apparitions under study<\/em> (under official investigation) and <em>apparitions not approved or rejected<\/em> (those on which the Church has issued a negative pronouncement).
