Kochi, India, Oct 14, 2017 / 04:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Both Hindu and Catholic schoolchildren in India claim to have witnessed an apparition of Christ and several appearances of the Virgin Mary accompanied by the scent of jasmine, the gift of contrition, and the healing of a girl’s ear problem.
The site of the alleged apparitions is St. Ambrose Church and Lower Primary School in Edavanakkad, in the far southwestern state of Kerala, 16 miles northwest of Kochi. The parish and adjacent school are under the Archdiocese of Verapoly. The Marian apparitions are said to have happened on at least two separate dates.
The church’s assistant pastor Father Merton D’Silva said archdiocesan authorities have taken a “wait-and-see” approach before intervening, the news site Matters India reports. Matters India has recounted the apparitions based on a note on the parish billboard by parish priest Father Mathew D’Cunha.

The original story is that Hindu girl put HOLY WATER on her ear because she had a problem.
The ear was better, so she wanted to thank God by praying the rosary. But she did not know how to pray LUMINOUS mysteries.
She then asked her schoolmates for help. They were both Hindu and Catholic.
Jasmine is a flower associated some types of vines and scrubs.
It is in the Olive family (Oleaceae).
Immaculate Mary
Your praises we sing
You reign now in Heaven
With Jesus, our King
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!
Amazing! We live in very interest9ing times...
I thought it was cute that the local priest asked them to show him the exact spot where she was standing, and then he felt someone pat him on the head. :) It made me wonder if he had a bald spot.
The Rosary, contrition, the Eucharist, sounds like it is the Mother of Our Redeemer...
