Through the centuries, the Virgin Mary has appeared to ordinary people of every race and culture. This book chronicles authenticated Marian apparitions and messages Mary has brought from God. Drawn from scripture, legend and never-before-published stories, the accounts range from Elijah's vision of Mary 800 years before her birth, to her reputed appearances in ancient China, to the children of Medjugorie in Bosnia, whose encounters began in 1981 and continue to this day.
