The Muslims actually found an excuse. After several days of cutting electricity and searching homes by Islamic skeptics, Muslims, and even the President himself, had to admit the apparition was for real.

However, in order for them to keep their religion, they also cited examples from the Koran of their veneration of Mary as the mother of the "great prophet Isa," who also was born without destroying her virginity. They have yet to explain why she appeared on a Church and not at least on an arbitrary "neutral" building.

God bless.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hug:

What happened after she appeared?

Peace
Lol...
My mom used to tease me when I was younger.
I always asked her stuff about Jesus and Mary, so then she would mention that she saw Mary (she actually did) in the middle of our conversation so casually, and I would be "really Mom? was I there???"
(as you all have noticed, the apparitions occure in 1968 and I was born in 1988)
Anyway, my mom would actually take advantage of my 'young age' (I was around 5) and would tell me that I was there but I was sleeping when she appeared... and I would actually fall for it... :sorry:

I wonder now if the Muslims did find an explanation to why she appeared on the "Church".
Im interested, very interested into knowing what they have to say about this happening. They have said that this happening did occur, what more is going to be said?

As generations go by, Muslims will make up new stories to discredit the apparation, but we have proof from the office of the Egyptian Presidency officially validating the Apparition as part of the Church history and Egyptian national history.

Muslims will have to go against the President's word. Perhaps they'll use the same accusation as they did with the Caliph more than a hundred years ago, who validated (and reportedly converted to Christianity) the moving of a mountain after a three-day fast from the Coptic Church, and from the prayers of St. Simaan the Simple and the Shoemaker (i.e. the Caliph was "crazy").

But that would be hard. President Gamal Abd el Nasser is known in Egyptian modern history to be the "great liberator" of the Egyptians, despite of the bad picture he received from the world at the time.

There are many Muslims today alive in Egypt who saw the apparition that will tell you that the Great Virgin Mother of "the prophet Isa" appeared to the Egyptian people.

God bless.

i saw her several years ago. apparation of course, and a dove. long story. ive seen several angels since then as well, i've gotten closer to the all mighty.

The feelings i received with her visit have no words. I'm no catholic, but after some research, i've figured it had to be her.
