Mother Mary Apparition in Philadelphia Fairmount Park

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In October 25, 1953 this is what the scene looked like when thousands of Philadelphians gathered in Fairmount Park (West Philadelphia) after three Catholic school girls said that Mother Mary appeared to them in a bush in the park.

This shrub’s unlikely turn in the spotlight began on the afternoon of Sept. 18, 1953, a sunny and hot one according to Farmers’ Almanac. Three girls were walking home from class at St. Gregory’s Roman Catholic parochial school, located near 52nd Street and Lancaster Avenue. Tracing the perimeter of Fairmount Park, Margaret Keville, Mary Hagerty and Roseann Pinto, all 14 at the time, stopped to chat on a bench. There, in the privet bush, the three saw a vision of Christ’s mother in a blue veil and white gown.

They returned the next day with friends, sisters Mary and Carol Burns, who, this time kneeling before the miraculous bush, also claimed to see a face amid the tangle of branches, according to a Life magazine article from the time. All claimed to detect an inexplicable breeze and the scent of roses emanating from the plant. But church officials dismissed the apparition as a “mass hallucination,” while others said a recently released movie about Portuguese children witnessing a Marian apparition had fueled overexcited imaginations.

This is the miracle bush today, May 03, 2014. Smaller, respectful and not the least as powerful and miraculous.

The makeshift wooden cross is scribed with the original date of the apparition September 18, 1953, and someone left a statute of Mother Mary.

The Catholic Church did not approve of the apparitions and discouraged the faithful from showing up in Fairmount Park.

But on our visit there is still something very powerful and magical and mystical about the bush that survived to this day.
