The Virgin Mary is a blue eyed teenage girl that appears taller than she is because she stands on a cloud.

That is according to a new book that has carried out exclusive interviews with the the visionaries of Medjugorje, who first saw her 30 years ago this year when they were schoolchildren....

....In the new book "Medjugorje - 30 years of a phenomenon" authors Marijan Sivric and Ivo Scepanovic have spoken to the schoolchildren - now adults - who said they are surprised that people so often ask "what does she look like"....the Lady is dressed in a grey gown and a white veil covering her black hair, adding: "She has a crown of golden stars, blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and she floats on a silver cloud. She never stands on the ground." The visionaries counted 12 stars above her head, and said she looked to be around 18 years old - but not more than 20.

Tall woman for her time. That was the average height for males.

I would have thought she’d have brown eyes and olive skin, being a Jewish girl from the Middle East.

Maybe. Who knows.

We have posters on FR who claim to speak for God.

Other posters who have created their own pantheon of demon-aliens based on two words in Apocalypse.

Others post their dreams as visions despite Proverbs warning on dreams.

As I said, who knows for sure.

BTW, private revelation is just that, private revelation. No one is bound to it or has to believe it.

The Song of Bernadette is a great movie, and the visions at Lourdes were approved by the Church. Not so at Medjugorje ... so it doesn't matter at this time what she looked like or how tall she was through the eyes of the "supposed" visionaries in Yugoslavia, etc.

Question..Question.. ( hand waving to the teacher..)

If Mary was “assumed “ into heaven, wouldn’t her body look like it did when she was assumed??? Not a teen age girl???

Virgin Mary is 165 centimetres tall

That's Madonna, not *the* Madonna.

A case of mistaken identity.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Hmmm, Pope Benedict blessed a statue?

Your search for On June 4, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI blessing a statue of Our Lady of Meugorje in Saint Peter’s Square, Vatican City did not match with any Web results.

Please give source. Thanks

Since according to Roman Catholic dogma the Virgin Mary died as an aged mature woman, and was later resurrected and assumed into Heaven, why would she now appear as an 18 year old?

Oh, BROTHER........

Is there no end to the fantasies surrounding her?

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

13For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

My two favorite depictions of the Virgin Mary are:

Simone Martini's Annunciation Altar Piece...

...and D.G. Rossetti's Ecce Ancilla Domini:
