About the so-called Virgin Mary appearances?
For years, the ghost figure of Mary has been appearing before millions of people, what do you think about them?
I think I know who's responsible for them, but I won't say... ;o)

Hello friend,
At the risk of marking myself as doomed, I offer my thoughts as solicited by your question.
While I do not doubt the heart felt sincerity of anyone who ever claimed to have seen the "Virgin Mary", I say without hesitation, reservation or apology, they have NOT seen her.
They may have seen "something", but Mary is Home with the Lord, and has neither desire nor inclination to return to this wretched place. ... But Jesus will return...quickly.
Consider this, when a person sees "her", most typically, they are told it's her, by her. Since no one alive today was alive when she
lived, how else would they, could they recognize her?
But other than Christ, no one has come out of the grave, and stayed out of the grave to give witness of the beyond.
And He does not need any help.
But, there is an evil one, who has and can masquerade even as an "angel of light" with intent to deceive.
Friend, for those who think the precious woman that gave birth to
our Lord, if they think she would "appear" as a stain on a tree, or as a face in a sandwich, or even as an apparition to select children, those dear misguided souls degrade the tender memory of a blessed child of God who now rests peacefully in the Masters' arms.
I don't click links, so I hope you're not offended.
If God thought we needed visitations from Mary, He made a mistake when He wrote these words found in 2 Peter 1:3...
..."His Divine power has granted to us EVERYTHING pertaining to life and Godliness through the true knowledge of HIM..."
(capitalization emphasis mine)
But, God makes no mistakes.
Keep searching His Word.
2 Tim. 2:7

Very much like the Hindu Goddess worship.
