Four children and one woman on Thursday witnessed a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wulu County of Lakes State.
A Holy Ghost priest who works at St Peter and Paul’s Wulu Parish told Good News Radio on Monday that two of the children who witnessed the apparition belonged to a Catechist and described to him what they saw on top of the tree that afternoon, Good News Radio reported.Sospeter Kiare said two little girls and a boy, all less than three years of aged, were playing under a tree 50 meters from the compound when the boy began staring up at something on top of the tree.
The other children stopped playing, looked up and saw a person in white clothes.
Fr Kiare explained that the first two children began arguing with the girl saying she saw Mary and the boy said it was Jesus.
The Wulu parish priest said the third girl, who also witnessed the vision, said she saw a very beautiful woman with long hair.
The fourth child described the person as wearing a long white gown with striped colours at the bottom and a white smoke of cloud under her feet.
Fr Kiare said a woman who rushed to the scene also described exactly what the children saw.
The little boy, who first saw the vision, was unable to talk but the girl said she saw Mary.
The four-year old girl said the woman she saw had brown skin and wore a white clothe and that she was holding something in her hands.
The girl added that the vision was moving up and down and later disappeared into the sky like a white smoke.
Fr Kiare said some Christians from the area are already gathering at the apparitions spot to pray.
He said the Catholic Church in the area did not yet confirm the vision to be true.
The Holy Ghost Fathers were posted to Wulu last year, one of the 12 parishes of Rumbek Catholic Diocese.
