Sixtina87 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 READ and SEE THE PIC and you decide is it a apperence or just the lighting???? MOLINE -- Has the Virgin Mary chosen to visit the Quad-Cities in an image below the Interstate 74 bridge over the Rock River? It's a question more than 200 people were trying to answer for themselves Saturday night after reading media reports of the sighting. "To me, it's a miracle that she would come to visit us," said Celia Medina, of Silvis. "My daughter is ready to go into labor, and she and her husband want to make it out here before she does." Ms. Medina said she had been to Harold's Landing three times before Saturday, each time joining about 30 others who pray the rosary at a nearby dock. She said she sees the image of Mary, who sometimes dons a white gown and sometimes a blue one. Saturday night, people came in droves. It started shortly after 6 p.m. with about 30 people and, within 25 minutes, that number tripled. As the sun set and the weather became much cooler, groups of people came from a line of cars that led out the small parking lot. Some brought lawn chairs, binoculars and cameras. Others flipped out their camera phones to take a shot of what they saw. Many wouldn't go on the record stating if they saw an image or not. One man said he saw the image at dusk and left shortly after 6:44 p.m. when it last appeared to him. Elizabeth Flores had no question. The Silvis woman saw her clearly. "I see her bowing," she said. "Out of everywhere, why would she pick the Quad- Cities?" Kevin Dewalsche, of Hampton, had the same question. "I just think that it's weird that it happened here and now," he said. Abbey Wassenhove, of Moline, had been to the site three times and she just doesn't buy it. "I think it's the lights coming from the bridge," she said. "I don't know if it's a sign. It could be a sign." Devin Smith, of Coal Valley, called it a "cloud game" and said that people will find an image of something if they look hard enough. "I think it's just a shadow that falls that way," he said. "I'm going to confession if it's gone tomorrow."

HisChild Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I am not sure where they are seeing it/her. Did you see this with your own eyes, and what were your conclusions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisChild Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I cannot for the life of me, see what you are talking about. I've stared at that pic until I all to no avail. Don't get me wrong, because I DO believe in Marian apparitions, but how close did you get to this vision? Is this vision located in such a way, since it's under a bridge, where you could view it from various angles (to see if it isn't just a trick of light)? I'm just. ..well, I am sure it looks beautiful, again don't get me wrong, but I've seen stories of people, even here in my own town, where people attempt to find the Blessed Mother in tree bark, tricks of light, etc. I would just be. . .cautious. you know? I hope that makes sense and isn't mocking. Let me know if she starts talking. That WOULD be something wouldn't it? God bless you.

MC IMaGiNaZUN Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) I tend to be a very natural skeptic, and may outright dismiss things. (Ironic, that it would be the apparitions of Lourdes and Fatima that would lead to my full conversion) but, sixtina, i have a hard time believing that you would lie just to get attention, so i am going to keep staring, until my eyes hurt. In fact, i am going to save the picture, and close up until i get a headache. SHALOM Edited March 27, 2006 by MC IMaGiNaZUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
