Our Lady of Siluva

In summer 1608, children tending sheep near Siluva, Lithuania, saw a beautiful young woman standing on a rock, holding a baby and weeping bitterly.

• She wore blue and white robes; her tears fell onto the rock
• When asked why she wept, she replied: "Formerly in this place, my Son was honored and adored, but now all that the people do is seed and cultivate the land"
• A blind man over 100, who had helped bury church treasures 76 years earlier, regained his sight and identified the burial spot
• The excavated box contained a painting of the Madonna, gold chalices, and church documents

• A blind man over 100, who had helped bury the treasures 76 years earlier, regained his sight and led authorities to the exact burial spot
• The ironclad box was excavated with the painting, chalices, vestments, and documents intact—physical evidence that the children's vision pointed to a real, forgotten location
• The woman's words ("formerly my Son was honored here") matched the site's Catholic history, which had been suppressed under Calvinism for decades
