Our Lady of Akita, 50 Years Since the First Messages, by Paul de Lacvivier

By Paul de Lacvivier, The Remnant, Sept. 17, 2023

The supernatural events that took place in Akita, deep in the Japanese countryside, between June 1973 and May 1, 1982, had the rare honor of being the subject of a pastoral letter from the local ordinary, dated April 22, 1984, authorizing the public veneration of the miraculous statue represented by Mary, and authenticating the supernatural nature of the events that took place, as well as the divine (Marian or angelic) origin of the messages received by Sister Agnès.
