In the past two centuries hundreds of apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been reported, drawing crowds to the seers and the sites and constituting events of great religious significance for millions of people worldwide. Here Sandra Zimdars-Swartz provides a detective-like investigation of the experiences and interpretations of six major apparitions, including those at La Salette and Lourdes in France during the mid-nineteenth century; at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917; and the more recent ones at San Damiano, Italy; Garabandal, Spain; and Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, where the apparitions continue. Adopting a phenomenological approach to these "encounters with Mary"--one that is neither apologetic nor antagonistic--the author explores the tension between the personal meaning of the events for their subjects and the public appropriation of this meaning by a larger religious community. Along the way she examines the backgrounds of the seers, their willingness or reluctance to talk about the apparitions and their messages, the amount of emotional support they received from family and community as news of the apparitions spread, the reports of miracles at apparition sites, the reactions of local authorities, and the steps taken by the Roman Catholic Church in officially recognizing or rejecting the apparitions as worthy of belief. The author concludes with a survey of religious worldviews based on Marian apparitions, focusing especially on the now-popular transcultural apocalyptic nature of these messages to the modern world.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

There is no female religious figure so widely known and revered as the Virgin Mary. Mary has inspired in cultures around the world a deep devotion, a desire to emulate her virtue, and a strong belief in her power. Perhaps no population has been so deeply affected by this maternal figure as Filipino Catholics, whose apparitions of Mary have increased in response to recent events, drawing from a broad repertoire of the Catholic supernatural and pulling attention to new articulations of Christianity in the Global South. In Mother Figured, historical anthropologist Deirdre de la Cruz offers a detailed examination of several appearances and miracles of the Virgin Mary in the Philippines from materials and sites ranging from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. By analyzing the effects of the mass media on the perception and proliferation of apparition phenomena, de la Cruz charts the intriguing emergence of new voices in the Philippines that are broadcasting Marian discourse globally. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork and hitherto unexplored archives in the Philippines, the United States, and Spain, Mother Figured documents the conditions of Marian devotion's modern development and tracks how it has transformed Filipinos' social and political role within the greater Catholic world.

Im Katholizismus gehören 'Marienerscheinungen' zu den prominentesten Fällen außeralltäglichen Wahrnehmens. Im 19. Jahrhundert taucht ein neuer Typus auf. Die als 'reale Anwesenheit' geglaubte Erscheinung tritt in die 'Öffentlichkeit' und verbindet sich mit der Vermittlung von 'Botschaften'. Ein prominenter Fall der jüngsten Vergangenheit ist die Marienerscheinung von Peñablanca, Chile, bei Valparaíso. Im Juni 1983, dem ersten Krisenjahr der Pinochet-Diktatur, berichtete ein siebzehn Jahre alter Junge über eine Vision. Im August schrieb erstmals die Presse darüber. Innerhalb weniger Wochen mit immer neuen Erscheinungen entwickelte sich ein Medien- und Massenereignis mit teils mehreren 10.000 Pilgern. Brisanz erlangte der Fall, als während der kirchlichen Untersuchung Vorwürfe laut wurden, die Militärregierung sei in die Vorgänge verstrickt. Diese historisch nicht voll klärbare 'Manipulationshypothese' bestimmte in der Folge die öffentliche Diskussion. Die Amtskirche kam zu einem ablehnenden Urteil. Dementgegen bildete sich ein Verein engagierter katholischer Laien, die in Peñablanca einen bis heute existierenden Kultort gestalteten. Eben diesen historischen Vorgang 'Marienerscheinung' und dessen soziale Akteure nimmt die vorliegende Studie religionswissenschaftlich in den Blick.
