Marian apparition
A Marian apparition is a supernatural event where somebody says they have seen Mary, the mother of Jesus. If a person claims they have heard Mary or have dreamt of Mary, this is not enough; the person needs to claim that they have seen Mary in their environment.[1]

Statue of Our Lady of La Salette, an 1846 apparition reported to have occurred in France
In Marpingen, Germany, Our Lady is said to have appeared several times to three groups of visionaries: in 1876–1877, then in 1934–1936, and in 1999. The investigation performed by the Bishop of Trier after the last apparition concluded in 2005 that "the events in Marpingen cannot be confirmed as being of supernatural origin".
