The account
Pilgrims reported 'solar miracles'. Bishop Fidelis Orgah of Otukpo supported the devotion, and the Aokpe pilgrimage centre is run by the diocese. The plotted point is approximate.
The sceptical view
The sources are mainly devotional; solar 'miracles' are what staring at the sun produces in the eye.
