Manaus, Brazil. The night of 2 May 1994. Maria do Carmo woke with an urge to pray. She finished a full rosary before a small home shrine to Mary. Then the room lit up. A young woman dressed in white appeared, holding a rosary. Her son, Edson Glauber, would see her too. A very beautiful seventeen year old girl who called herself Queen of the Rosary. Later came Jesus, St Joseph and St Michael. The visions moved to Itapiranga, a river town in Amazonas. Thousands of pilgrims followed. A bishop authorised public worship. Then, on 7 February 2017, the Vatican gave its answer. Not authentic.

Context

Itapiranga is a small town in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, about 200 km east of Manaus. Its name means "red stone." It was the hometown of Protógenes Gabriel da Costa Coutinho. His son, Edson Glauber, was an economics student in Manaus. René Laurentin would later call him "a kind, stable, and calm" person.
