The Apparition of Our Lady in the Philippines in 1948


On September 12, 1948, Sunday Feast of the Holy Name of Mary at about 5:00 P.M. in the afternoon, a Sister by the name of Sr. Theresita Castillo who was taking a walk in the garden suddenly remarked that a vine shook, and as there was no wind at all, it attracted her attention. She approached and heard a woman's gentle voice that said: " Fear not my Child. Kiss the ground, Whatever I shall tell you to do, you must do. For Fifteen consecutive days come to visit me here in this spot. Eat some grass my child. The Sister did not see anyone; she only heard the voice.

The next day, Monday, at 5:00 P.M., the Sister returned to the place, she knelt and recited the rosary. She reached only the words " Full of Grace" when she remarked that the vine was moving, and Lo! and behold she saw a beautiful Lady with hands clasped on her breast together in a form of prayer on her breast, a golden rosary hanging on her right and. She was slightly stooping, Her dress was pure white, simple, held on the waist by a narrow cloth. her feet were bare and resting on a cloud which were about 2ft. from the ground. Her face of indescribable beauty was radiant. She is smilling....

After a series of apparition the Lady asked the visionary to tell the community to pray the rosary in the spot Our Lady came again on September 16, 1948 still the same hour and said to Sr. Theresita: " I want a statue of Mine to be placed here.I want you to describe Me to your chaplain because I want it to be as you see me, and as big as the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes that is in the cloister."

Our Lady continues to appear to Sister Theresing for some times of 1948. Up to the point of the miraculous rain of rose petals.

The Image you see now is the original image placed at the Apparition site of the Carmelite Monastery in the inside garden. Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines.
