Two Ulster Marian Apparition sites

[scolairebocht]

1954 was declared by Pope Pius XII, a Marian year. “It was called to commemorate the centenary of the definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary,” as wikipedia informs us.

This cause was taken up with great enthusiasm all across Ireland, with Catholic communities creating grottos and erecting Marian statues all over Ireland. It appears that also, a Marian apparition may have occurred in that year at Ardboe, in Co. Tyrone, in a housing estate built just after the war to accommodate fishermen on Lough Neagh and those who worked on a nearby airfield. This created something of a sensation and was much heralded in the local Tyrone Catholic press. The site is still carefully tended by a local committee and many people remark on the healing properties of the water that flows there and even the assistance that seems to come to, otherwise nervous or unwanted, expectant mothers who visit the site.

It seems that simultaneously, but in this case somewhat secretly, another Marian apparition occurred in neighbouring Co. Down, on a windswept mountainside sometimes known as the ‘Windy Gap’. In this case Our Lady is said to have appeared to a young boy attending his father's livestock in that scenic but barren part of Ireland. A number of conversations are reported to have passed between them and a relatively large crowd witnessed a sign at that site on one particularly night during these apparitions.

This boy is still attending to his livestock on that hill, and still saying the prayers, with a small group of others, recommended by Our Lady at that site every Sunday, some 70 years later. Sarsfield’s roving reporter was speaking to him today but he does not welcome publicity and points out how many Orange Halls are to be met with in the locality.

Nonetheless this short video of the site, and the simultaneous one at Ardboe, might be of interest:

The man that I was referring to there in regard to the Windy Gap is Seamus Quail and I was talking to him briefly while doing the above video. Unfortunately he is reported to have died a few weeks ago, Lord have mercy on him, he led the Rosary at that site every Sunday since the apparitions in 1954 until his death.

there is a monument to be noted ----to haul a large flagpole to that hilltop in a desolate part of Ireland and dig and erect it to intimidate people doing christian prayer by flying the British flag -to deliberately poison the well of goodness which was there - was a coldly calculated evil act .
flagpoles make a very loud racket with the ropes hammering the mast and the flag would crack and fart in the constant wind on to of the hill and people would try and silently meditate in a place like this and listen to each other pray with the constant racket nearby --anyone who has spent 10 minutes on board a boat in a harbour will tell you the racket from ropes is deafening.
whatever was seen or not seen ---there is a conscious effort by people to go to that cold and windy and inhospitable place to communicate with the supernatural --that is a thing of beauty in so many religions and even in none such as paganism .
i personally know a few people in the pagan movement and i know Dr Eimer Burke a registered druid and i used to know lady Olivia Robertson of Clonegal castle who was world high priestess of ISIS and her brother the rev Durdin Robertson --all of these people would give their very lives to allow people to communicate with the supernatural by any means at their disposal.
Therefore the British flag did not represent Christianity or the head of the protestant religion as the queen has her own personal flag and coat of arms .
what was flown was a warning we are all powerful and will extinguish you and yours and your beliefs at a time of our choosing in a manner of our choosing .
