Perhaps this will be the effect of an excellent book on the subject (Our Lady of Beuuraing by Don Sharkey and. F'r. Joseph Debergh, O.M.I. ) which was recently awarded the Marian Library Medal. The present Marian Reprint has simply one purpose-to show that the apparitions at Beauraing, Belgiuh, have the char- acter of supernatural visions and, as such, have received the approbation of ecclesiastical authority. Four documents are presentd-the first, a pastoral letter commemorating the silver jubilee of the apparitions which took place in L932, and the three others, giving specific approval to the devotion to Our Lady of Beauraing and vouching for the supernatural character of the visions.

From the beginnings of human history, people have designated particular locations as sacred and traveled to them in a pilgrimage. When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 314 CE, Christian shrines emerged very soon at martyrs’ tombs and other places of historical importance in development of this religion. The distribution of physical relics created many of the Christian shrines in Western Europe. Popular belief concerning Mary began to evolve upon Jesus’ death; and in turn, most of these beliefs were adopted into Roman Catholic doctrine and became Mariology or Marianism, the veneration of Mary. In Western Europe, a number of shrines were created from an apparition of Mary to local people, and with any shrine’s approval by the institutional Church, it gained an international reputation and following; shrines not granted this approval by the Church have remained less internationally well-known and mostly locally based.
