The first time that the Virgin Mary appeared was two weeks before the First World War, that is, on May 12, 1914, in a village called Hrushiv.
At that time there were 22 people working in the fields near a Holy Trinity church, all witnesses saw the apparition of the Virgin Mary. Mother told them:
“There will be a war. Russia will be a country without God. Ukraine will suffer for 80 years and will live through the World Wars and will be free after that.”
People gathered in that area to look forward to seeing Our Lady. The apparition lasted until the next day.
The people of the Hrushiv region have long planted a willow tree to mark the apparition of Our Lady 350 years earlier. Later a stream appeared under the willow tree. During the cholera epidemic in 1855, a resident dreamed that Our Lady told the inhabitants to clean the old stream and celebrate Mass there. After that, no one died from cholera.
On April 26, 1987, that is, 73 years after the 1914 event and also a year after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, there was a beam of light covering the Holy Trinity church and the surrounding areas. close. There was a TV program that captured the phenomenon of light. From the bright light surrounding the church, the Virgin Mary appeared and hovered over the church.
At first, Mother appeared to a sister named Marina Kizyn, 12 years old. I quickly called my mother and neighbors to come and the whole group came and also saw Our Lady.
Then hundreds, thousands of people came from Russia to see the phenomenon of Our Lady. Mother continued to appear every day until August 15, 1987.
About 500,000 people saw Our Lady. There are days when crowds come in between 45,000 and 70,000 people at a time. The Soviet army and the KGB could not hold the crowd still.
There were KGB agents who also saw the Virgin Mary. There are many priests of the church who come and celebrate about 10 Masses daily right in front of the church. She gave many messages as follows:
“I come with the purpose of thanking the people of Ukraine because you have suffered so much for the church of Christ during the past 70 years.”
“I have come to comfort you and to tell you that your suffering will soon end. Ukraine will become independent.”
“Please teach the children how to pray. Teach them to live with the truth and to live honestly. Pray with the Rosary. It is a weapon against Satan. The devil is afraid of the Rosary. Be diligent in reciting the Rosary when people are gathered.”
“I have come to comfort you and tell you that your suffering is coming to an end. I will protect you for the future glory of God's Kingdom will last a thousand years. The kingdoms of Heaven and Earth will be near. That kingdom comes only through repentance and repentance for sins.”
“The Living God is calling you. That is why I was sent to you. The children of Ukraine are the first to be entrusted to me.”
(A leader named Yaroslav the Wise consecrated Ukraine to the Mother of God in 1037.)
“Through many long persecutions you have not lost faith, hope and charity. I always pray for you, dear children, wherever you are.”
Our Lady prophesied that Ukraine would suffer greatly for 80 years before gaining independence. Ukraine declared its independence in the capital Kiev on August 24, 1991, about 77 years after the prophecy of Our Lady in 1914!
