Cairo, Egypt - The first sighting happened on December 10th. At 8:30 pm, a Muslim man was having coffee at a local shop in Al-Warrack, a poor neighborhood in Cairo, Egypt, when he noticed a strong light coming from the Warrack church. Others noticed and also saw a bird circling in the sky. Around 2 am, a vision of the Virgin Mary appeared in her blue and white robes. Hundreds of people rushed out of their homes to capture the event with the cameras in their mobile phones. Now as many as ten thousand gather nightly to witness the appearance.
Kawkab Munir Shehata holds she was cured of blindness in her left eye by the Blessed Mother. "I felt immense pain which lasted about quarter of an hour. Then I was ecstatic to find out that I could see clearly," said Kawkab. "You see, my left eye is even better than my right one now."
Father Fishay, a local priest, feels "Maybe her appearance is to bring people closer together, maybe it will bring about the end of the state of tension between Muslims and Christians and an end to extremism."
