No, she probably died in the early decades of the first century, so she's as likely to have appeared as often as Geoffrey Chaucer.

Yes. The ones that are approved by the Church though are mainly The vision in Lourdes France by St. Bernadette. Miracles witnessed by many thousands. Also miracles witnessed by 70,000 people in Fatima Portugal. Here the rain poured down on the crowd then suddenly the sun danced in the sky and then suddenly hurled toward the Earth -- people screamed thinking the world was ending but, just as suddenly the sun stopped and went back up into the sky and just like that everyone clothing was bone dry and there was not a cloud in the sky.
I believe there has truly been miracles and messages from her but, I believe this grilled cheese sandwich stuff and other supposedly images are from Satan because how else would be a good way to discredit her visions then to do something like that to belittle her real ones. Once again "You will know them by their fruit" Many healings and miracles with the real ones. They are currently looking into Medugorje.

No it's not true. You asked earlier if Christians can be demon possessed. Well these demons that you asked about are the ones responsible for these images and lies.
They (the demons) have an incredible amount of power and they will use it to deceive you, me , and other children.
If they can create an atmosphere of Holiness using one of the figures of the bible and mix it with superstition then that is what they will do to us.
It is the ignorant and the blind who would fall for this and they will propagate the lies built by the demons in their own miracles shoved upon the innocent and ignorant.
Use your brain and watch for those who would lie so grandly to us. Ask the right questions of these so called miracles.Do as the Christ said "go with the wisdom of the serpent and the peace of the dove."

While it is true that many believe this to be true, it is much more important for us to understand what the Bible itself teaches about this.
The Scriptural answers to your questions are covered in the following ...
Should You Pray to the Virgin Mary?

Whether you believe this or not is a matter of faith. Unless you were there, you can't definitively say yes or no.
I, for one, believe it is true. Though I doubt she ever revealed herself in a grilled cheese sandwich or a grease stain on an overpass.

Yes, didn't you hear? She appeared on a piece of toast. It was then sold on ebay for $12,000.

Many people believe she did: http://www.marypages.com/
Many people believe she did not.
The Catholic Church does not require belief in any Marian apparition.
With love in Christ.
