The world-changing appearance of Our Lady of Fatima ushered in a continued succession of spectacular apparitions around the world, which the Church has either officially sanctioned or designated as likely-authentic. In this unprecedented, encyclopaedic book, author and Mariologist Wincenty Laszewski outlines the profound and urgent messages of these apparitions—instantly the new standard on the subject. The majority of these gripping chapters contain foreboding warnings, some of which are ominous, while others are more encouraging. This magnificent work is a wake-up call to the faithful and a worldwide trumpet appeal to deeper prayer and conversion.
It includes:
- Over 400 pages describing the fully documented miracles and visions
- Fascinating accounts by eyewitnesses, including non-believers
- 50+ maps of locations and pilgrimage sites
- Photos and illustrations: documents, events, and faces of the visionaries
- The finest works of art and reproductions of Our Lady
