Other saints appearances

[mathinspiration]

Why aren't there other saints appearing or to protestants or are there?

 

[Basil the Great]

Many believe that the Virgin Mary appeared above a Coptic Orthodox Church a few decades back and the event was witnessed by thousands. You can even see a photo online of the apparent apparition. Why do saints apparently not appear to Protestants and rarely it seems to Eastern Orthodox, I do not know.

Why aren't there other saints appearing or to protestants or are there?

It's not something one should expect or look for - ever. There is always the risk of delusion or deception. And to go seeking for it increases such a risk, and may indicate pride, or some other vice. God rarely does things just because we want them, but rather when they are good for us. And being visited by an Angel, the Virgin Mary, or some Saint may not be good for many of us, for a great many reasons. Protestants may have additional reasons why this could be so for them.

But with that said, other Saints or Angels DO appear at times, perhaps much more frequently than the Virgin Mary, in fact. We just don't make a big deal out of it (again, risk of pride or delusion), and the Church regards that as a matter between the Christian and God, not something for the whole Body.

That is only because we don't make a big deal of it when they do. Saint Spyridon is one who comes to mind.
