The apparition of Virgin Mary in Egypt!!

Al-Aqsa Is In My Heart.
CAIRO: Despite eye-witness accounts and numerous videos flooding the internet, some believe the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Warraq last week was merely a hoax meant to strengthen people’s religious convictions.
Thousands of Christians as well as Muslims lined up for more than three hours last week to catch a glimpse of the Virgin Mary believed to have made an appearance above the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church in Warraq district in Giza.
People were pouring onto the streets and standing on rooftops in Warraq as soon as news broke out that a glowing silhouette of a woman wearing a crown was hovering above the church........................................................
We informed Pope Shenouda, who is in America right now,” he said.
The apparition is an event in which the Virgin Mary is believed to have supernaturally appeared to one or more people. They are often given names based on the town in which they were reported, the documented cases allegedly happened around the world over hundreds of times.

This is hilarious!!
It's amazing that some Christians who seemed to be educated reported things like; they saw huge pigeon made of cloud flying near the church and other group said that they saw light coming above the church...etc. Thousands of people gathered trying to convince themselves of truthfulness of such superstitious stories!! :shrug:

I think those Christians are brainwashed.....But the most amazing is the response of the Pope....

In his weekly sermon, Pope Shenouda asserted that "the beloved Blessed Virgin loves Egypt" and therefore She appears a lot in Egypt. Pope Shenouda also stated that the apparitions were also confirmed by Muslims who were close to the churches where the apparitions took place, adding that Muslims honor the Virgin more than the Protestants, and that people o the Catholic Church witnessed the apparitions and announced it.

Responding to skeptical people who doubt the reality of the apparition, Pope Shenouda stated that those who want to see the Virgin can see her because she allows them to see her, while she does not allow those, "complicated" people, who deep inside reject the idea of the apparition.

Pope Shenouda announced forming a committee to study the subject and collect the related information He elaborated that he had received the report of the Bishopric of Giza and that he was planning to study it thoroughly before giving a final papal comment. However, Pope Shenouda called people to enjoy the apparitions.

It's remarkable what silliness people will believe. I've heard of people who believe God sent an angel to reveal his perfect word to an Arabian merchant.
