"Initially only several hundred people gathered to hear the Virgin Mary’s messages at Conyers. The crowds steadily grew larger, however, until by 1993 groups as large as 80,000 were not uncommon."
Full disclosure - I am from Conyers and had no idea what to expect; I am not Catholic so - to put it mildly I was astonished. There were busses for about a half mile in the closest field parked end to end, row after row as far as I could see; we parked at least a mile away and walked as part of the masses. There were Baptists in the woods with bull horns begging Catholics to convert from their blasphemy. There were nuns from South America writhing in the dusty ground in epiphany. There were mobs of nuns and various attendees from Africa, South Korea, China, all of South and Central America... My girlfriend at the time was Catholic and she had a much more reverent experience than I did, but it was CERTAINLY remarkable. I really could not believe it. I did not see Jesus but many people seemed to hope to; we all looked up. I saw clouds, and for what it's worth, I would have been glad to see anything that might mean some kind of supernatural salvation for our unraveling planet.
I found this brochure in an old box of the 90's era keepsakes, and thought this amazing piece might be of interest to scholars, historians, researchers or anyone interested in the quirky and sensational story of miracles and visions across history. This was certainly one.
Do not buy this if it is a challenge to your budget, it is just a piece of paper and an interesting keepsake; it will not save your soul, only goodwill and good actions can. Best and cheers!
From a website:"Initially only several hundred people gathered to hear the Virgin Mary’s messages at Conyers. The crowds steadily grew larger, however, until by 1993 groups as large as 80,000 were not uncommon."
From October 13, 1990, through October 13, 1998, Conyers housewife Nancy Fowler claimed that the Virgin Mary appeared to her and relayed messages to all citizens of the United States. The messages ranged from admonitions to prayers to warnings of war. The Virgin’s supposed visits to Conyers, a suburban community about thirty miles east of Atlanta, make Conyers one of the longest-lived Marian apparition sites in the nation.
In the early 1990s the roads to Conyers were clogged with pilgrims yearning to hear Mary’s message. They came from every direction, but most were from heavily Hispanic southern Florida. They headed toward a large field adjacent to Fowler’s home. Once there, they prayed on Mary’s Holy Hill, filled bottles with water from the Blessed Well, or visited the small bookstore on the property.
At midday the pilgrims moved toward Fowler’s farmhouse. Inside, Fowler waited for a message from the Virgin Mary in the Apparition Room; outside, members of Our Loving Mother’s Children, the volunteer group that organized the Conyers gatherings, led the crowd in song and in prayer. The pilgrims prayed in their native tongues, including English, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese.
When Mary’s message was broadcast over loudspeakers, the pilgrims raised their rosaries, icons, and petitions heavenward, hoping the items would be blessed by the presence of the Virgin Mary. Some claimed miracles at this site—rosaries turning to gold, the sun spinning and changing colors, and the scent of rose petals filling the air.
Fowler, a homemaker and the divorced wife of a retired air force officer, was raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by her Roman Catholic father and her Eastern Rite Catholic mother. Her mystical experiences began in the 1980s, but it was not until October 13, 1990, that Fowler said the Virgin Mary instructed her to take her message to the public. Until May 1 3, 1994, the messages continued monthly. After that date they came only on October 13 of each year and after October 13, 1998, ceased completely. The Marian apparitions at Conyers are now part of the long history of appearances by the Virgin Mary that have been recorded since the Middle Ages, including the famous visions in Guadalupe, Mexico; Lourdes, France; and Fatima, Portugal.
