The apparitions of Litmanová

From August 1990 to 1995 two Slovak girls, Ivetka Korčáková and Katka Češelková, reported monthly apparitions of the Virgin Mary as 'the Immaculate Purity' on Zvir hill above Litmanová.

The account

Tens of thousands of pilgrims came to the Greek Catholic site, which has a chapel and a spring. In July 2025 the Vatican issued a nihil obstat permitting public devotion, without declaring the apparitions supernatural.

The sceptical view

The events rest on the testimony of two children; the Church's decision approves devotion, not the visions themselves.
