Blessed Virgin Mary, on Wednesday, reportedly appeared in the sky and moved down to her shrine at St. Charles Lwanga Catholic Church, Calabar, Cross River State.
Father Evaristus Bassey, the parish priest, who shared the news on his Twitter page said the photos were taken by a protestant pastor who came to the parish to visit his cousin, an assistant priest.
The Catholic priest said over 100 people saw what he described as an “amazing and assurance of God’s presence in the Parish”. Adding that the rays around the Virgin Mary were too bright for a clear picture.
He tweeted: “On Wednesday 22-6-2022 the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in one of our parishes in Calabar, St. Charles Lwanga.
“It was something more than 100 people witnessed, even a Protestant pastor who came to visit his cousin, the assistant priest.
“He took these pictures. The rays around her were too bright for a clear picture. She moved up to the Shrine dedicated to her and then was taken up. It was amazing, the entire aura around the parish, that evening.”
On the message the angel brought, Father Bassey said, she didn’t say anything, rather her appearance showed God’s presence within the people.
“She didn’t say anything to anyone. But I think she came to assure of God’s presence with us.”
“Even the rays of light on the premises showed there was something happening. May the prayers of our Blessed Mother help our country Nigeria. Amen.” He tweeted.
