News spread quickly. On July, 2nd., many priests were among the numerous visitors from out of town who joined the villagers to witness the great event. At about six o’ clock p.m, the children headed for the spot where they had been seeing the Angel , and before they even arrived, the Blessed Virgin appeared with two Angels, one on each side.
They recognised one of the Angels as Saint Michael the Archangel, who had been appearing to them and the other looked identical. Above the Apparition was a large eye that seemed to the children to be the eye of God. They spoke openly and familiarly with Our Lady and said the rosary in Her presence. Over the next four years, she would appear to the girls some 2000 times, frequently appearing several times in a single day.
