The Apparition Church of Our Lady of Katunayake’s Shrine or the Heart of Most Blessed Virgin Mary’s Most Miraculous Ground, where She made Her apparition in person for Twenty Three Times, was built on a request of Most Blessed Mother Herself. The Statue of Blessed Virgin Mary carrying Baby Jesus in Her left hand, sculptured to resemble Her apparition together with Baby Jesus in front of our Most Holy Apostle, His Holiness Rohan Lalith Aponso, is established right above the Main Altar of the Apparition Church. This Miraculous Statue of Blessed Mother began to emanate Jasmine aroma miraculously for the 2nd time on (last Saturday evening), 3rd October 2020, when devotees, who arrived from various places assembled to take part in the Recitation of Holy Rosary. In fact, this was the 2nd time this Miraculous Spectacle took place in the Apparition Church itself.
This Miraculous Spectacle took place for the 1st time on 27th July last year to confirm Most Blessed Virgin Mary is directing Her gaze constantly at Her children who arrives at Our Lady of Katunayake’s Shrine.
While this Miraculous Spectacle was taking place for the 2nd time on Saturday evening 3rd October 2020, the Governing Board of the Shrine made all arrangements for the devotees who assembled at that moment to feel this Most Miraculous Spectacle in the Apparition Church itself.
Devotees, who entered the Apparition Church, knelt in front of the Main Statue of Our Lady of Katunayake which was emanating Jasmine aroma, and offered their petitions with tears of joy to the Blessed Mother who made Her live presence. Some devotees were seen going on knees across the Apparition Church with utmost affection to the loving Mother of God, who made Her live presence in front of their eyes.
These few photos were captured at the precise moment, while Jasmine aroma was emanating from the Statue of Most Blessed Virgin Mother Mary carrying Baby Jesus in Her left hand, sculptured to resemble Her apparition together with Baby Jesus in front of our Most Holy Apostle, His Holiness Rohan Lalith Aponso, which is established in the Apparition Church of Our Lady of Katunayake’s Shrine, and devotees offering their prayers in the Apparition Church
