Translations:Zeitoun/2/en

From April 1968 to early 1971 throngs of thousands gathered nightly outside the Coptic church in Zeitoun (a suburb of Cairo, Egypt, near where the Holy Family is said to have stayed after their flight to Egypt during Herod’s persecution) to witness the appearances of the Blessed Mother. Unlike Mary’s other apparitions, at Fátima or Lourdes for instance, everyone in the crowds, of any race and religion, was able to see her.
