June 4
Madonna del Bocco, Casanova Sinistra, Pavia, Lombardy, Italy

Angela Volpini, born June 3, 1940, had apparitions of Mary from June 4, 1947
to June 4, 1956. In 1957, the bishop authorized a church at the apparition
site of Il Bocco, designed with space for communal activities. Above the altar
is a painting of the Madonna as Angela saw her, in a white veil, blue mantle,
and pink robe, with a rosary over her right arm, her hands gesturing delicately,
as if in communication. From the Madonna's inspiring messages, the seer
envisioned a world where people could live together in love and joy. To this end
she founded the New Cana Center in 1958. Information and picture from her site, www.angelavolpini.it/.
