Our
Lady Comes To Garabandal Spain 1961-1965
Situated in the Cantabrian Mountains of northwest Spain, San Sebastian de
Garabandal is a small hamlet of some 80 dwellings.
For centuries the people of this humble and remote village have gathered
together daily for the recitation of the rosary and litanies of the Blessed
Virgin Mary.
Garabandal is unique in the history of Marian apparitions, with Our Lady
appearing over 2000 times from July 2, 1961 until November 13, 1965.
Our Lady gave two important Messages for the world on the 18th October 1961
and l8th June 1965. The Messages of Garabandal have to do with our
conversion of heart. We must ask forgiveness for our sins and strive to lead
good lives.
The Visionaries
Between 1961-1965 Our Lady of Mt Carmel appeared to four, simple,
unsophisticated girls, Conchita Gonzalez, Mari Loli Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez
and Mari Cruz Gonzalez, aged between 11 and 12, in the village of San
Sebastian de Garabandal, Spain. Whilst surnames of three of the girls are
identical, they are unrelated.
The visionaries were first visited by an angel later identified as St
Michael the Archangel whose mission was to prepare them for Our Lady’s visit
and to be her messengers.
