Perhaps one of the most amazing, fascinating and yet not widely know apparitions of Our Lady is Our Lady of Las Lajas. I first learned about this from the "Explaining the faith" series by Fr. Chris Alar and the Marians of Immaculate Conception and I became totally enamored by it. The cathedral built around/above it on the steep hillside looks like it could be something out of Lord of the Rings.
This apparition is so intriguing but I can't find much about it or a really good picture. I'm especially interested in the stars on the mantle, since in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the stars correspond to constellations. I wonder if it's the same for this one? And yes it looks amazing!
There is something about this apparition and shrine that touches me deeply. Maybe it's the child Jesus playing with another child, and the miraculous bringing back to life of the young child. And wow - what a shrine! It is the one foreign Marian site I would love to visit. Thanks for posting the videos
I don't know if the stars represent the same as Our Lady of Guadalupe but the image is very much the same.
Sorry, late-comer to this thread but feel it is so similar to Guadalupe in inspiring Faith in the intervention of the Blessed Mother, it's worth refocusing attention on this prodigy, Studying the events in Guadalupe and the events here, how can any Protestant, ne Catholic scepic, deny Mary's role in saving humanity? Miracles attested to the true nature of Jesus - these miracles attest to the role of His Mother. More rcent youtube clips: Our Lady of Las Lajas 13m **A Virgin Mary Image appeared.. 27m 15m
