Statue Of Our Lady Of Kibeho?

Anyone know where I might be able to purchase one? The only one I've seen online is a hand-carved wooden statue but I'm talking about one more like the Florentine statues.  Plus that wooden one costs about $100...

The only one I know is available from Immaculee Illibagiza's website, which is probably the one you've seen. It's a wooden hand-carved statue and it costs $99. She used to stock a smaller and cheaper statue, but that seems to have gone. Kibeho is not a well-known apparition outside of Africa and you're unlikely to find any company manufacturing those statues.

 

I know it is expensive, but a lot of stuff in Immaculee's store is handmade by Rwandan women (Hutu and Tutsi) who are working together in a reconciliation project, and it's not done for profit. If you're really keen to have Our Lady of Kibeho in your shrine, I would save slowly and order the statue in a year or so, when you can afford it. Or just print out a picture of Our Lady of Kibeho on glossy paper and have it framed.

I've never even heard of this title. Can someone share the story? I just love stories of Our Lady's Apparitions!

Sounds awesome. I have to ask is this Marian Apparition approved by the church? I question because of the heated discussions that this phorum had a few years back about the Lady of Medjugorje.

Yes, it is approved. Rather recently, actually.

Okay. Yeah, Sometimes with recent stuff not everyone is aware of it. like me, it takes awhile to find this sort of thing out.

I'm very skeptical of apparitions as well until they are approved (with the exception of Akita, but I am not getting into that), so I was just going to ask this before you did. LOL.

 

Glad it is approved though :)
