Possible Dates of the Miracle I realise the following subject matter is not as important as changing our lives and improving our faith, however I have included it mainly for interest. Many people have heard that Our Lady has promised to perform a miracle at the pines in Garabandal and also on Apparition Hill at Medjugorje. There is some speculation that both will occur at the same time. Only at Garabandal did She give any idea when the Miracle at the Pines would occur. There are 2 variations on the day being reported. Firstly St Michael's Garabandal Center reports that it is on a Thursday between (and including) 8th to 16th April. Secondly, Joey Lomangino's Garabandal Website and the Australian Garabandal Website are both mentioning March, April and May. It will be on the feast of a Eucharistic Martyr and will coincide with an important event in the church. This event has not occurred in Conchita's lifetime and so is not Holy Thursday as some people have claimed. Some sources have also mentioned that the martyr is "little known" and hence martyrs which don't have much available detail have been flagged in this list as possibilities. The important event has occurred before but not since Conchita was born. Given this information, we can at least start looking into what Martyrs have feasts in this range of dates. The feast days have been obtained from the list of feast days at Catholic Online and there are some in the list which may not be Eucharistic Martyrs. Over the next few months, this list will be reduced as further research is done. If you wish to help please Contact us. Click on an underlined date to see the list of Saints for that date. If a date is not underlined, there are no relevant saints on that date. Dates in bold have possible Martyrs under them We do also know that on the day of the Miracle, Joey Lomangino will recover his eyesight. He is currently about 74. I have only included 10 years in the charts below as I am sure, Our Lady would not want Joey to recover his eyesight and then die only a short time later. We also know the Pope will see the miracle from whereever he is. The visionaries of Garabandal indicated that Pope John Paul 2nd would be the last Pope and then would come the end of time. This has been given a different meaning to the one previously given here. It is assumed, the end of time indicates an end of an era. The claim that he would be the last Pope indicates he is the last Pope of that era not the last Pope that would ever exist. Given it is only a few years since his death, it is still hard to work out wether a particular era has ended. Keep watch on this page for updates.

He led the church in England through the disruptions and uncertainties of renewed and extensive attacks, which came to a head in 1011. The Danes overran nine counties in south‐eastern England and then besieged Canterbury. They entered the city, killed most of the people and burnt everything. Alphege was taken in chains with other worthy prisoners to be exchanged for ransoms. After seven months the Danes wintered at Greenwich where an epidemic broke out. Alphege was allowed to minister to them and converted some to be Christians. When he refused to allow his people to pay a ransom of 3,000 pounds of St Alphege silver the Danes felt deceived and on Easter Saturday, the Saturday after Easter, the 19th April, in a drunken rage they disobeyed their leaders and pelted him with ox bones and stones. One of the soldiers, Thrum, who had recently become a Christian, put him out of his agony with an axe blow to his head. He was buried at St. Paul's in London and in 1023 his body was translated to Canterbury by King Canute, with great ceremony. It was buried on the left of the High Altar where monks venerated it for long after. St. Alphege died for justice.
