Remember the post I put up about the apparitions in Cairo, Egypt? Well, they are
happening again.
Thousands gather nightly to witness the phenomenon. From the Spirit Daily website:
Videos on YouTube indicate that unusual lights are again appearing on a Coptic Orthodox church in the Cairo metropolitan area, this time in a neighborhood known as Warraq.
There are no details as yet as to when the phenomena began, but according to blog reports crowds began forming on December 9 -- a day after the Immaculate Conception feast -- and thousands are now gathering each night, chanting, singing Arabic-style Christian songs, and loudly exclaiming as forms or flashes of light materialize.
The forms of light are vague as taken with what appear to be cell phones and presented on internet videos but like apparitions that occurred in the late 1960s and early 1970s at other Orthodox churches in Cairo seem to show a bright light in the form of Mary moving amid the domes or over an entrance near an illuminated Cross as a frenzied crowd and beeping taxi horns form an audio backdrop.
Notes a website dedicated to the phenomena: "Assiut is one of Egypt's Christian centers, with a 40 percent Coptic population, but also has hundreds of mosques. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of people pray, sing and dance around the church. It was initially thought that the phenomenon were some kind of trick with lasers or a special light show, so the local government ordered the electricity for the entire neighborhood to be switched off for one night, in order to uncover any deception. The light was not affected."
*The picture at top is from the 1968 apparitions. The videos are from the apparitions that are taking place today.



Very cool!
I know right? It makes me nervous tho. For a long time Mary was popping up everywhere…Yugoslavia, Portugal, Egypt, Japan, the US, Canada…100′s of apparitions…then she sort of disappeared…right around 199something…all of a sudden she’s back. And it ain’t subtle this time. Our ability to document her has become way better…I mean, with Fatima we had newspaper accounts…now she’s all over YouTube…lol…makes you wonder what’s up!
What’s even more amazing is that this is an Orthodox church (remember the Anglicans coming home) and in a Muslim area. EVERYONE is seeing her…
Here’s more on the situation….

I want to see Mary!
She is invited to show up in Indiana… anytime!
I second that emotion!
Maybe she’s trying to tell us we screwed up in voting for Obama.
Lol, Carder…and where have YOU been????
I think Obama is only one of MANY things we’ve screwed up. How old was he when Roe v Wade happened anyway? Probably can’t blame him for that one…dang!
Carder!!!
Good to see ya – where have you been hiding yourself?
Let’s see…been busy with the Tea Party activities (and there are many), participating at Jill’s, trying to be an attentive mom and wife, and basically about ready to grab my stash of tar and feathers and take the next flight out to DC.
And you?
MK, the blog is simply not the same without you. It’s not funny anymore. But one guy just cracked me up with his pat-on-the-back to Nelson. Said he needed to go back and reflect on the Nativity, especially Herod’s slaughter of the innocents. It was government-funded, too.

Bravo!!! I don’t know if you’ve seen the new “community news” section – but you could write a post on some of your experiences so we can see what all you have been doing.
MK, the blog is simply not the same without you.
She’s mine!!! mine!!!! You can’t have her back!! I won’t allow it! ppbtttttt!
Did I neglect to mention that our new cat is meowing all night long and I haven’t had much sleep for awhile……..
Val,
He’s just singing Christmas Carols.
Carder,
I can’t believe anyone over at Jill’s would even remember me. The very few times I’ve gone over there after getting an email alert, I hardly recognized anyone’s names!
My father is a Coptic Orthodox Egyptian and he was one of the first to see the original apparitions in Cairo. His friend actually took some of those pictures. Other than strengthening Christians’ already impressive faith, the violence between fanatical Muslims and Christians lessened considerably for several years.
We’re all pretty glad to see she’s back.
Maria,
WOW! Would you consider doing a post on your father’s story! That is AMAZING!
If you say yes, all you have to do is go to the top of the page and click “Submit News”. Then you can write a post and submit it. I’ll okay it and put it up…It would mean a lot to me…not that you even know me. lol.
WOW!
Also, do you have any pictures from what’s going on now? WOW!
I’d be happy to write about it! I don’t really see how I can say no
I’ll see if I can get some more out of my dad. As soon as I do, I’ll send you what I have. I don’t have any pictures of the current apparitions, unfortunately. Most of my family has moved here, so I wouldn’t know anyone that would have any pictures.
Oh, you make me feel special.
Maria T.,
First, welcome to the blog and we are all special… at least in God’s eyes.
Second, at the top of the page there is a “Submit News” link. Just fill out the form and we take care of the rest. If you have any pictures you want on that post, just email them to me at admin at 2secondsfaster dot com. I will add them.
I look forward to reading about your fathers experience and how it has also affected you.
God bless,

Maria,
I have been following Zeutin for years now. As you can see from the Apparitions link, I’m fascinated by them. I attribute (gratefully) my own conversion to Our Lady in Medjugorge. To know someone that actually knows about these…I have no words. I don’t mean to sound like a nut that follows apparitions around either. It’s more like just knowing that she’s around and looking out for us. You’re father was very blessed to have seen her himself…
WOW! lol
Even if you hadn’t commented about the apparition I would still wholeheartedly welcome you and ask you to come back often.
I’d love to know more about the Orthodox Church also. So we’ll have LOTS to talk about.
I’ll be waiting to hear from you. About anything at all.
I don’t mean to sound like a nut
Too Late.
Maria –
I’m so glad that you found us! Welcome.
Trust me, I feel welcome!
Actually, my mom is Roman Catholic, but I was raised Coptic Orthodox. So, we do have a lot to talk about.
The apparitions are fascinating, so I don’t think it’s strange at that you’re very very interested in them.
Excellent. What are you gabbin’ with us for???? Get writing!
Val,
Brat.
Always and forever!
