Pretty fascinating article from the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC in its December edition: How the Virgin Mary became the most powerful woman in the world..

Along with the article: A map of the world and every location where the Virgin Mary was spotted or sighted, or where she was said to appear to give a message.. places like Rwanda.. places like 

Medjugorje.. 

People in my local area in Pennsylvania think she even appeared on a garage door in 2007. Which I assume made the map.
