	The Marian Apparitions: Divine Intervention or Delusion?
		At several shrines the Virgin was reported as saying that she would heal some, but not others, and to read that "the finger of God would flash down unpredictably" somehow introduced a certain element of capriciousness which was disturbing, however much one might want to rejoice at the cures themselves.
		Marian ecumenists believe that the Virgin is bringing an ecumenical message at Zeitoun and Medjugorje and that as mother of the entire human family she has a special role to play as a centre of unity and reconciler of quarrelsome children, so to speak.
		As stated previously, this was why we have not included Walsingham among the Marian shrines, as the message, whether revealed to Richeldis in a private vision or a dream, was a simple request for a chapel in honour of the incarnation.

	Classic Pilgrimages - Marian Shrines - Knock
		Were it not for a local parish priest named John Horan, the small town of Knock would never have attained the international significance it prides today.
		Owing to his efforts, Knock is a place of continuous pilgrimage, and is often referred to as “the Lourdes of Ireland.” Today, 1.5 million pilgrims visit the shrine of Our Lady of Knock each year.
		Although more than 200 reported visions of the Blessed Virgin have surfaced since the early 19th century, Knock is one of few to have received canonical advocacy since 1842.

	Mother Mary 2- Crystalinks
		Some leading figures in sixteenth-century England considered pilgrimages to Marian shrines and praying the rosary to be un-Scriptural, "superstitious", and/or idolatrous.
		Most of these shrines were Marian shrines, and they included the highly-popular shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, as well as other popular shrines at Ipswich, Worcester, Doncaster, and Penrise.At the same time, "Mary" rose dramatically in popularity, as a given name for baby girls in sixteenth-century England.
		This change is remarkable, in light of extensive government efforts during that same time-period to extirpate veneration of Marian images, and to direct Christian worship to the written word.

	Apparitions of the Virgin Mary
		First, Mary's already exalted status in the church was substantially enhanced by Catholicism's official acceptance of the Marian dogmas known as the Immaculate Conception (1854) and the Assumption (1950).[1] The second force behind Mary's growth in popularity, especially among the laity, is not so much doctrinal as experiential.
		Regardless of the beliefs of the Orthodox church this material on Marian Apparitions is extremely accurate and insightful.
		While the medical authorities naturally need to be cautious, it does seem somewhat artificial and presumptuous for a group of human beings to solemnly declare that God has not only performed a miracle, but has performed it properly, to their satisfaction.

		Little is known about the multitude of early colonial shrines and their accompanying foundational Marian stories outside the case of Our Lady of Guadalaupe in Mexico.

	Marian Apparitions in China (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I know the church builds her theology on the intercession of Mary and the saints, but in the first intercession, from what little we are told about it, it appears that she took it upon herself to mention it and not by being asked to do so.
		Marian devotion began when the Angel Gabriel saluted Mary, saying "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:27, Douay); words undoubtably given him by God.
		In all these Marian apparitions the dominating figure is, of course, Mary, who says to go to her son, but always she's in control, she's the one that showed up in whatever location, and she can tell the Son of God what to do or not.
