the events depicted here are still under investigation by the Roman Catholic Church whatever the final decision the producers of this film accepted fully and completely in advance on a summer evening in June 1961 in the village of galavan down northern Spain these four girls reported seeing a vision of an angel during the following days the angel came to them several times and said that the Virgin Mary would visit them she had an important message and warnings for the world these visions continued for four years the girls learned that if mankind did not change its ways and lead a holier life then a dreadful chastisement would be unleashed at the end of this winding road is the village of san sebastian of Gutterman de in 1961 this was an isolated community of 80 homes and 300 inhabitants who for centuries had lived an unchanging existence laboring long hours in the fields and enduring harsh winters with few couples the parish priest father Valentin balasana traveled on horseback from the neighboring town of course vo on Sundays to hear confessions and to offer heavy mess since medieval times every evening at sunset a bill has been rung to remind people to stop work and pray for the souls in purgatory for the last 500 years the rosary and litany devotions to the Virgin have been prayed every evening in this church of San Sebastian the patron of the village at 8:30 in the evening of Sunday June the 18th 1961 four friends were playing on this rocky part of the southern end of the village they were Mary Cruz Gonzales aged eleven and three twelve-year-old girls Jacinto Gonzales Conchita Gonzales and Mary Lally Mazon none of the girls were related although three shared the same surname out of a clear evening sky they heard a sound like thunder suddenly Conchita fell on her knees her head tilted back startling the other three children thinking that she was ill they were about to run to get her mother when the same thing happened to them they saw a brilliant angel there was a sign beneath him but the children were not able to read the words that were written out over the next 12 days the angel appeared to them several times then on July the 1st he spoke to them for the first time saying that he was Michael the Archangel and that on the following day Sunday the Blessed Virgin would appear to them as Our Lady of Carmen and would tell them the meaning of the words that were written on the sign news spread quickly Milly priests were among the visitors who joined the villages to witness the great event the Blessed Virgin appeared Michael the Archangel was on one side of her and another angel who looked just like him was on the other side over the angel on the right the children describe what they thought was an eye the eye of God Our Lady explained to the girls the message written on the sand it was her message for the world we must make many sacrifices perform much penance and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently but first we must lead good lives if we do not a chastisement will befall us the cup is already filling up and if we do not change a very great chastisement will come upon all humanity they spoke openly with the heavenly mother this is a recording of Conchita praying the rosary during an apparition slowly over the next four years she appeared more than two thousand times at all hours of the day and night often appearing several times in quick succession sometimes she carried the infant Jesus in her arms the girl's visions were preceded by three interior calls which they described as three Joy's on the third call they would run to meet our Blessed Mother and crashing to their knees on the jagged rocks who would enter into a rapture the heads were thrown back the pupils of their eyes dilated and their faces serene they were insensitive to pinpricks burns physical contact or bright spotlights shone into their eyes after one apparition the back of jacinta's legs were covered in pin pricks inflicted by a doctor they were walking in crime and looking like this they were crying suffering they would be beautiful much beautiful that when there were normal but when they were in ecstasy they weren't really beautiful all of them Pepe Diaz with the local build-out and was among those who helped to protect the children I saw a doctor trying to lift Conchita off the ground during one of the apparitions all he could do was to lift her onto her toes she was already standing others tried but no one could lift them but the girls in ecstasy would lift each other up to Kistler virgin but we couldn't as the apparitions continued new phenomena began to occur when the girls were in ecstasy they were different sometimes they would walk so fast over the ground we just couldn't keep up with them they were too fast they would go one way then suddenly another often we were out of breath sometimes they were going so fast we thought they were going to crash into the walls of the houses we were perspiring so much the girls were so cool they showed no signs of perspiring often we were with the girls when they would just crash on to their knees on the rocky path you could hear their knees striking the rocks but they were never hurt the girls also began to make spectacular Falls in their ecstasy sometimes I would fall straight backwards stiff as a board without using their hands to cushion the fall and they would levitate and this day I so lowly in the front in the floor completely in the floor and suddenly went up and his father had father told me take your stick and pass it to her I took the stick and pass it up and she put her when she was like this she put her skirts thumb I passes through and there was nothing there was air down her she was like this in in and in in the face that I couldn't explain she was beautiful father de la Riva witnessed the girls limitations and many other excesses above the village there's a bluff with nine pine trees many of the apparitions took place in this area one day I saw the children come off the hill looking upwards like this walking backwards they came towards us through those bushes full of thorns running like they were flying backwards like they had wings on their feet they moved so fast one couldn't see that their feet were not touching the ground and they never fell they passed us here turn round and walk toward the church I saw him coming back from the past and nothing and they never fall down never and they were going back back back back like this and they walked and they cut and they run they were there they were nothing happened to them no never never there was a stream that ran through the village near the church with a small bridge over it I saw the girls walking towards at arm and arm to walked over the bridge the other two walked on air two of the many priests to witness the events of Gallivan Dao were father Luis Maria and Ryo a 38 year old Jesuit professor of theology from una in Spain and his brother father Ramon the first day I went up to the mountains my brother is with me for him was I think the second time but for me was the first at one moment Lally Anka cinta in the little area of the pines they enter in ecstasy I was looking at them transformed the face very beautify and thus approve I asked inside of me if that is true please that one of the girls come out of the ecstasy at that very moment one of the two came out of the ecstasy and the other one said why did you go out and ask him and then we didn't hear the answer of the vision but then I started in asking another proof he that is true that this girl enter again in the ecstasy's automatically enter in the ecstasy so I turned to my brother Louise and I said please be careful you what you are thinking because here the transmission of the things and thoughts is immediately that and that was my first experience of things that impressed me of course in this area the first time I went after that I stayed there for weeks several weeks and I saw a lot of many other things that have its Karma much time now to explain them the night of August the 8th 1961 while observing the girls in ecstasy Paula Lewis cried out four times miracle miracle miracle miracle Maximino Gonzalez is Conchita Zandt and a confident of the visionary she remembered father Andrea very well beautiful nurse he said the last baby was in the village after this mass Maricruz came into the church in ecstasy a large crowd followed her they were very noisy he was trying to listen to her conversation he was kneeling next to them in front of the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary later that night they are climbed to the pines her father followed all of a sudden father put his arms in the air and shouted miracle miracle later I asked - country - what had happiness and she said all of the time they were seeing the vision they were seeing father and drea normally they saw no way they do not see any miracle they only saw the Blessed Mother our lady told the girls that father Andrew saw the future miracle later he left the village with friends when my brother Louise was coming down from San Sebastiano co-ceo found the Don Valentin Marechal are the pastor of co-ceo and he told father Marie Jolla what the girl said is true all the prudence of the church is needed in these matters and that is not just caught Asian taken from the mouth of Ballentine marriage Allah Valentin marriage Allah wrote that in his diary so if the diary of the Ballentine still exists we can found these were written in that diary and he wrote in the diary the very day that my brother said that to him on the drive home that night and into the next morning he told the driver and other friends with him what a beautiful present the Virgin has given me oh what a sweet and lovely mother we have in heaven today is the happiest day in my life without ever being ill he made a coughing sound allowed his head and died the explanation arrived at was that he had died of intense joy there was a surprise for everyone I asked some doctors friend of mine and then they say we I don't know we don't know well of course heart arrest that's what they decided everybody dies of that on that and my brother of course it was a heart arrest that's the death but really it was really impressive not just for me but for everybody because he was speaking normally and plenty of joy and then in a matter of one minute he passed away I believed that my brother was really happy at the moment of his death but when they told me he was killed I was desperately didn't Mercedes Santos ex a writer of Barcelona was distressed by the death of her 21 year old son Michael in a car it she went to the village in the hope of finding some explanation and comfort because I wanted to the work he was working but I'm sure that he was in heaven because he was a very good person he was mystical meaning every day and it's what it's turned in early very very very religious he had his capillary of course he was a very good boy but still I wanted to know where he was I didn't know why I didn't know I want to know and when they told me about government I'll I went there just to ask what happened to my son and I asked Molly and her Hinda not Conchita and not Maricruz Molly and fatigue I arrived at the Thursday and Friday Saturday I asked them what the Virgin had answered have you asked the Virgin where he is my son the said yes yes we asked her but I can't tell you anything this out of the night we were praying the rosary the whole village during the week goodbye praying and it was more than one o'clock in the morning it was something and one of the ladies who were with me said to Rowley Washington her side you know something about this poor lady that is so suffering so much and he said yes and you can tell her I can tell her Sunday that were in Sunday's are you oh you're right so you go and tell her because she's happening too much and I remember that loli came running from me and she said to me the Virgin said that your son is in heaven so I took glory I embraced her and and I was the most happy girl in the world person in the world because and they were weren't we finished the rosary together people would often place holy objects such as rosaries scapulars medals and wedding rings on a table the girls were then off of these two our lady for her to kiss afterwards the girls would always return the object to their rightful owners even though they had no way of knowing to whom each object had belonged the Virgin told the children through my kiss on these objects my son will perform miracles wonders and prodigies this promise has been fulfilled in numerous reported spiritual and physical cures from around the world Halloween and the Virgin wanted that I suffered because she didn't tell me that my son was in heaven and when they give the girls give the cross to kiss when they passage to me they didn't give it to me to kiss it and as I am the worst person in the world but this Sunday when that went equate when they told me that Michael was in heaven I remember Mary loli who came to me directly the first person they gave me the cross and they did it two or three or four times what is it so I was so happy today I've never been so happy in my life I don't remember being so happy in my life there's a piranha sashimi oh no I'm gonna give it a go what impressed me the most was the day I was with Conchita it's a kind girl my daughter Karen was with me she was paralyzed through an accident I saw Conchita receiving Communion I didn't see the angel what a wonderful and precious experience I asked conceder to ask the Blessed Mother if she could cure my little daughter she was to have an operation and I wanted to know if it would be good or bad Conchita replied the Blessed Mother said your daughter has already been cured of the paralysis she was to have had the operation the next Seraphin grant Ali's is the elder brother of Conchita sometimes visitors to the village asked me if there is anything specific I remember of the apparitions anything in general I remember everything I remember the many times the visions took place especially at night and in all kinds of weather in snow in thunder and hail storms the many times the children ran through the village in ecstasy their heads back looking at the vision sometimes I was behind my sister Conchita I used to get worried because it was dark I thought she was going to hit her head against the stone walls of the houses they walked backwards from the pines past me here all the way to the church on their knees everything that has happened here has left a great impression then came the messages that made me believe it was our lady who was appearing to the girls I could see the messages they were writing could not have come from the girls themselves today we can see these predictions coming true the Blessed Virgin told Conchita that Saint Michel would deliver a message in her name because it pained her to give it and because her first message are not being complied with and warned that this message would be her last there were many people here that day I was worried I thought Conchita was going to get crushed andouille 18th 1965 at about 11:30 at night Conchita received the last message it was filmed by Spanish television as my message of October the 18th has not been complied with and has not been made much known to the world I am advising you that this is the last one before the cup was filling up now it is flowing over many Cardinals bishops and priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist you should turn the wrath of God away from yourselves by your efforts if you ask his forgiveness with sincere hearts he will pardon you I your mother through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel ask you to amend your lives you are now receiving the last warnings I love you very much and do not want your condemnation prey to us with sincerity and we will grant your request you should make more sacrifices think about the Passion of Jesus if we think about the Passion of Jesus we will commit fewer sins because we will remember how Jesus suffered for us to confirm the supernatural character of the events said Michael told Kishida that on a certain date the invisible communion he'd been giving the girls would become visible on her tongue she fell to her knees here prayed and put out her tongue to receive Communion remained beer there was nothing there I was only inches away from her place then suddenly a host appeared on her tongue just like you receive in communion it was a beautiful white host and suddenly the host started swelling up it was moving it was swelling I can't remember now after him two or three minutes had remained on her tongue then she closed her mouth and swallowed the host the large crowd was packed around and pushing and shoving everyone wanted to see Conchita everybody wants to take photographs in their urgency to see they ripped off my shirt I was pushed onto the ground I nearly lost my trousers I managed to keep them up people were so excited they were saying thank you very cool miracle of all the cameras they're only an 8 millimeter movie camera caught the miracle on film a friendship that has lasted more than 30 years began the night of the miracle dr. John Cole a renowned French plastic surgeon had heard of the ecstasy is taking place and having a professional interest in beauty wanted to include the material in a film to be called ecstasy and beauty I was only four to five feet away from Conchita when the hosts appear there was 2,000 years of Christianity on her tongue now I was taking part in the sacrament of love but why couldn't I cry out I was completely adrift I had the feeling that this lab was rushing away from me I'd look for somewhere to be alone I leaned against the wall of the house I whipped for I had lost the love of God I was suddenly aware of a man standing near me he told me he hadn't wanted to be there that he had come only to please his family he had seen the birth of the host and he had film it he was so full of joy for me it was the opposite I was in Hill I hadn't been able to shoot any film I wasn't in a state of grace and I had lost communion with God I was a man cast adrift I was frightened of God and no longer deserved his mercy I was then approached by Conchita he was holding a crucifix kissed by the Virgin I kissed it and felt an immediate return of joy after that I went to confession and put my life in order for me get up and down is a rain the opposite the man dr. Koh had spoken to that night was and a hundred ambiens a battle in his misery he had been given a simple 8 millimeter movie camera which he'd never used before and it was he alone who was able to capture the miracle of the head light dr. Coe senior Damien's had been reduced to tears by the sight of the miracle but for him then they were tears of joy the experience had given him an idea of the nature of the eternal beatitude the position of God on several occasions the Blessed Virgin impressed upon the children the importance of obedience to their parents and the ecclesiastical authorities our lady greatly desired that priests witness the girls ex disease however the local bishop as a precautionary measure imposed restrictions preventing priests through him going up together bend our disinter and marry Lonnie while in ecstasy mentioned this to the Virgin her only response was if the bishop doesn't want them there then he must be obeyed once Jacinta learned a hard lesson on obedience she was staying up for a promised vision it was very late and her father told her to go to bed she went but bitterly protested Our Lady would not appear to the children while they were in bed Jacinta had no vision that night or for the next month and suffered greatly watching the others continue to enjoy the heavenly favors she was being deprived of when the Virgin finally did appear to her disinter asked why she had not come and received the answer because of your bad attitude with your father that night how many times have I told you that you must obey your parents even before me the sight of their children enduring apparent physical hardships and the mocking from skeptics made these ears difficult for the parents Julie Amazon the mother of Mary Lally recalls particular incidents I have very much respect for the church in the beginning lolly was crying very much one night I was alone with her she was a little harsh I cried that night this child how she cried my god and how she suffered the Blessed Mother told her to pray very much for the priests that she should make a lot of sacrifices for him many of the priests were going bad thank you for going down and this is something I did not like to do it for me the streets were the most sacred in the world did I just hear my daughter's baby I told lonely I rather that you pray for us all of us Pilar the mother of Mary crews often greets visitors to the village which it was when she was little I used to take her through the pines to pray and she was a noble girl like anybody else used to go to school and she was always a good job all the girls used to come over here and then when a lady older all of them used to come out from the house that go whenever old lady used to call them I never those eyes the one who saw the cut me and I don't even want to see a lady to believe because I believe lady exist if already comes and when she comes she comes to make miracles because she's here but if she has promised to come she will come and she doesn't come that me says she's a liar but she's not a liar something a regular visitor to get a man down is dr. Luis Morales one of Spain's most renowned psychiatrists he was the chief medical examiner in the initial investigation instigated by the church in 1961 into the apparitions his negative report has had long lasting repercussions the Blizzard mother told the visionaries that the day would come when they would contradict one with the other and even deny that they had seen her they wondered how they could do such a thing since they were really seeing her and the Virgin herself gave them the explanation it was because they were going to pass through the same confusion as the church during 1962 the girls were studied by eminent doctors and psychiatrists one child specialist dr. Ricardo Prasanna a leading Spanish neuropsychiatrist conducted the most extensive investigation he certified that the girls were always completely normal and that the ecstasy's did not fall under any known psychological phenomena from a strictly scientific point of view one cannot deny the possibility of a supernatural cause in all these phenomena doctor Garcia Ruiz and dr. Ortiz Gonzalez said to keep silent would be true scientific Carrodus we do not find any convincing explanation for such phenomena the doctors were at a complete loss to explain how it was that their physical and mental health was not completely ruined over the first few months of the apparitions I haven't made initiation irrelevant then on May the 30th 1983 dr. Morales completely reversed his decision if I'm here today to speak to you about the apparitions of Our Lady of San Sebastian of Gellerman Dao it's because she herself has worked this change of attitude in me moreover I am here speaking with a full permission of the ecclesiastical hierarchy in reality the ecstasy's of the four gallivantin visionaries were superior mystical experiences as described by Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint John of the Cross dr. Morales further declared that the apparitions of the Virgin to the children were not only a miracle but a providential fact a wedge thrust into the earth to bring it more spirituality from their abandon on falou this very ruthless Arab and aloof a demon see the same thing yes I've seen the same phenomena is because the Visayan in Spanish names a mistake a missing Korea father-son team came to co-ceo as the parish priest in 1947 Gharib and elders part of his parish he witnessed between 500 and 600 of these ecstasy I was the first person to question the children and I was worried I reported it to the bishop at first he he was very worried because he thought that it was something serious and he went to the bishop to tell him at first I did not really believe the children were seeing our lady they were really strange things happening here I came to believe firmly in the apparition after direct proof was given to me yes he believes just as before the same he was saying that dr. Morales had changed his opinion but he was always the same opinion the bishop of the diocese Bishop John Davao garner witnessed three of the apparitions when he was still a young priest and served briefly on the diocesan Commission sent up to investigate these events after he became Bishop he set up a new investigation in 1988 I needed to do a personal investigation because the responsibility demands of oneself I helped do something about it because I thought that something serious but it happens and Guerra Bendel it seemed to me that because it was so serious I had to find out for myself exactly what happened in the Arab and all the results were brought to the Holy See to the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that is where you have to take things like this so that is where the documents are they were given to Cardinal Ratzinger yo creo que si the messages are theologically correct yes but one on the detail bothers me like the one that many bishops and Cardinals are walking the path of perdition it seems to me to be a bit severe the messages do not say anything that is against the doctrine of the church the apparitions have never been condemned the previous bishops did not admit that the apparitions were supernatural but to condemn them no that word had never been used for sure I consider the message is important because they are important in the area where it is similar to Lourdes and very much it is important for us Christians to live what the messages of the Blessed Mother are saying if we consider that she could have said this but I'm not saying that you did since this would be admitting that the apparitions are true yes and I cannot do that because the church has not yet said sir the church is the one that has the last word the bishop removed all the restrictions on visits to the village their previous bishops had imposed on priests I don't remember exactly the date it was done step by step I told the pastor to start removing the restrictions and then it was just announced publicly it was about six years before I retired in September 1991 all great supernatural events have been prophesied at Garabandal the first will be a worldwide warning from God to be seen and then felt interiorly by everyone on earth at that moment we will see the wrong we have done and the good we have failed to do the warning will be sent to purify us and to correct the conscience of the world everyone will recognize it as coming from God it will prepare us for a great miracle this will be the second major of it it will occur on Thursday evening at 8:30 on or between the 8th and the 16th of April the visionary Conchita knows the date and will announce it eight days in advance all those either in the village or on the surrounding mountainside will see the miracle by looking up over the nine pine trees on the hill above the village the sick who are present will be cured the non-believers will believe and as a result of the miracle Russia will be converted the body of father Andrea who witnessed the miracle will be found in corrupt the day after the miracle the third major event will be a permanent visible sign which will remain as a reminder of the miracle at the pines until the end of time the fourth major event is conditional if mankind does not fulfill the Blessed Mother's messages then God will send a chastisement on the world Conchita married ari and Jacinta was shown the chastisement it happened over two nights the hands were raised in the air say please don't let it come don't don't let it come take the children first give the people time to confess a visiting Franciscan priest father Felix elizalde said let us pray 10 Hail Marys to the Virgin of Sorrows the minute we started praying the screaming stopped and the girls were saying let it not come we were frightened that night we didn't sleep we stayed at the pines that night all 300 of us villagers went to confession I never took a stand in these things in the way of being natural or supernatural because this is not my job but when I can affirm and I do that after thinking and scene and after the year they passed is that the girls never lie when they were saying the things they saw if they say that I saw an angel that's true for me that does an angel' today so how that is another story and when they saw were lady or a lady or plenty of beauty that is exactly what they saw I don't take any stunt in the interpretation because my interpretation is not going to change anything and besides that this is not my job but I can tell you that I passed some days really happy impressed and disoriented and then more oriented and that fact of lavender I consider the most important in my life there is no doubt in my mind everything prophesized here will happen the warning the miracle and the permanent sign the Virgin Mary was here it was supernatural his sister Conchita Mary Valley and Jacinta married Americans and now live in the United States Mowrey cruz also married and lives in Spain our lady showed special care and attention to every priest who came to the village the only one to see the future miracle was a priest the girls were told by our lady a priest is more important than an angel the children were told if they meet a priest and an angel they were to greet the priest first the children were given the ability to recognize priests who came to the village in ordinary clothing nearly every time the Virgin appeared to them the children were told to pray for holy priests they had the ability to know when a visiting priest was in serious sin and this was so that they would make more sacrifices for them all the children were told to make sacrifices for the sanctification of priests Mary Lally was told by our Blessed Mother that she would suffer much in her life and to offer the suffering to God as a sacrifice for priests who incur a melee they were holy place but without your apparitions you feel has the most important in your life to pray for priests everything seems to focus on the Eucharist and the priesthood the miracle to come on a Thursday the day that is consecrated to the Holy Eucharist the day our Lord Institute of the priesthood the blizzard mother told mountain Ollie before the miracle it will be very hard for the mass to be offered she asked what would cause this and the Virgin replied communism one day the church been told Conchita set of her mother Pope John is dead our lady told me now there will be only three more Pope's and then it'll be the end of time but not the end of the world on September the 12th 1962 Maori crews had her last ecstasy and in January of 1963 the visions also ended for Maori lolly and Jacinta only Conchita continued to have visions but they were fewer and further apart the last apparition was on the 13th of November 1965 it was a special apparition during which our Blessed Mother kissed religious objects an ad token cheetah I have come not only for your sake I have come for the sake of all my children with the desire of bringing them closer to our hearts and afterward she added Conchita why don't you go often to visit my son in the business of sacrament do not let yourself get carried away by laziness and not go and visit him who was waiting for you day and night
