Our Lady Help of Christians
Pra, Italy (1874)
On May 12, 1874, the Blessed Virgin appeared to the shepherds Vincenzo Scossiera (12) and Angela Berruti (13). Angela first saw a lady high off the ground and on a cloud beckoning her to come closer, wearing a brown-colored dress and veil. Vincenzo came to the place and saw the lady in blue but he became scared and ran to the house.
Others including Magdalene Olivieri, and, Teresa Burnengo (36) saw the Madonna as Angela had seen her. On October 25, Maria Pegollo (13) went to the site and saw the Virgin Mary dressed in black.
Our Lady said that she wanted a chapel in that place, which was built, amidst opposition from the authorities of Feglino.
