For devout Catholics, Mary, as the mother of Jesus, has special power. Some people believe that she has already appeared to them once. Now the Vatican wants to take the initiative into its own hands, in order to carefully approach the settlement of this issue.
The Vatican has created a new observatory to observe the apparitions of the Virgin. According to the Vatican News portal, the office will analyze and interpret the events related to the possible apparitions of the Queen of Heaven.
In addition, experts must carry out investigations into these events according to scientific criteria and coordinate them throughout the world.
The observatory should officially begin its work on Saturday, April 15. Note that in principle, the Catholic Church considers the coming of the Blessed Virgin possible.
There are several territories, such as the shrines of Altötting in Bavaria or Lourdes in France, where she is said to have appeared to people.
