Virgin of Sorrows
La Codosera, Spain (1945)
At 3 pm on May 27, 1945, a girl Marcelina Exposito Barroso and her cousin Agustina Gonzalez, were walking to the next village to run an errand. They had gone about two miles, when Marcelina noticed something off the road.
Our Lady of Sorrows, was half way up the trunk of a tree, with black cloak embroidered with stars, hands together, and a beautiful but sorrowful face.
The vision disappeared, and the girl ran to the village and told her mother what had happened, and word spread. On June 4, the Blessed Virgin told her to walk on her knees which she did without a scratch.
The diocesan curia of Badajoz has not yet officially pronounced on these facts, but allowed the construction of the Shrine.
