Millions venerate Mary, the young peasant woman chosen by God as the mother of his Son. This Jewish woman's place in the Catholic Church is unrivaled. In the two millennia following her death, thousands have reported experiencing supernatural phenomena known as Marian apparitions--visits from Mary. Mary, some say, reveals secrets and prophecies of alleged global consequence. Additionally, signs and wonders confirming an apparition are said to occur. But can the seers' claims be authenticated? Despite what skeptics may say, across the world, thousands gather, waiting and praying for "visions of Mary." VISIONS OF MARY includes dramatic recreations of apparitions, archival footage and photos of historic apparitions, and interviews with religious and secular scholars and visionaries.
