Marian apparition · Montichiari, Italy

Maria Rosa Mistica

Pierina Gilli wrote in her diaries of seeing the Virgin Mary as the ‘Mystical Rose’, robed in white among white, red and yellow roses; the devotion has its centre at Fontanelle di Montichiari. In July 2024 the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith told the Bishop of Brescia that it found nothing in her messages contrary to the Church’s teaching on faith and morals, and many positive aspects, leaving him to conclude his discernment. It did not rule on the apparitions themselves.
