Our Lady of Assiut

Our Lady of Assiut

The reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Our Lady of Assiut in 2000 and 2001 in Assiut, Egypt were witnessed by many thousands of people and were approved by the Coptic Church.

These were also mass apparitions and many thousands of witnesses produced photographs of them, which were reprinted in several newspapers.[1][2] Video clips of the apparition have been posted on the Internet.[3] The newspaper reports state that during mass, pictures showing Saint Mary with a dove above her that were hung on the wall inside the altar started to illuminate first, then the light from the dove in the pictures started to flow down. The lights thereafter appeared above the church as well and were seen by thousands of people.[4]
