GARABANDAL - The Apparitions 1961 - 1965
San Sebastian de Garabandal is unique in the history of Marian appari-tions, with the Blessed Virgin Mary appearing over 2000 times from July 2, 1961 until November 13, 1965. The four visionaries were simple unsophis-ticated girls, Conchita Gonzalez, Mari Loli Mazon, Jacinta Gonzalez and Mari Cruz Gonzalez, aged between 11 and 12. Whilst the surnames of three of the girls are identical, they were unrelated. Our lady gave two important messages for the world. The first message was on the 18th of October 1961 and the second on the 18th of June 1965. The messages of Garabandal have to do with our conversion of heart. We must ask forgiveness for our sins and strive to lead good lives. Since then the people of this humble and remote village have gathered together daily for the recitation of the rosary and litanies of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
