O Mary, our Mother protect us beneath your mantle
 

Morning, at about seven o’clock, we went up to the hillside—Katka Ceselková, Ivetka Korčáková, and Mikuláš Ceselka. We spent the day playing games, making a fire, roasting bacon, and singing. It was peaceful and enjoyable. The evening liturgy in the village was at 5:00 p.m., but we decided to stay on the hill a little longer. Around six o’clock, we heard a strange crackling sound in the forest, near the spot where we had built our fire. At first, it was faint, but it grew louder and closer. Alarmed, we went into our hut. Ivetka and Mitko lay down, tired from the day, while I (Katka) stayed awake, listening nervously. I suddenly heard what sounded like footsteps outside, circling the hut. Frightened, I shouted, "Ivetka, shut the door! I’m scared!" We quickly locked the door, but the noises continued. There was a rattling sound, like something made of metal, followed by a loud crash as if logs were being thrown down from the hill above us. We were terrified. Mitko suggested we pray, remembering advice from a priest during a religious class. We began with the "Our Father," repeating it three times, followed by the "Hail Mary" and the "Golden Our Father." Mitko added prayers of his own. Suddenly, I (Ivetka) felt inspired to pray, "Mary, Our Mother, protect us under your mantle," a prayer I had never said before. I repeated it three times, then prayed to our Guardian Angel. While we prayed, we made promises to God. Katka pledged to attend religious classes, go to church, and make a holy confession. We felt deeply sorry for our sins. As we prayed, a glow appeared in the room, shining through the cracks in the walls. At first, we thought it was just sunlight, but it felt different. Our fear began to subside.Then, in the middle of the room, a bright light appeared, and the Blessed Mother was suddenly there. She sat quietly on a bench, listening to us. We stared at her in awe. Katka whispered, "I see the Blessed Mother." I replied, "I see her too." Overwhelmed, we ran out of the hut without even locking the door. As we ran down the hill, the Blessed Mother followed us, walking a few steps behind. Each time we turned, she was there, calm and serene. She followed us to a roadside cross, where she knelt to pray. Slowly, she began to fade away. Though her presence calmed us, we were still shaken. When I reached my house, I turned and saw her standing by the door. Ivetka later said she saw the Blessed Mother near her uncle’s house. She didn’t speak to us, but she was dressed in a white gown with a blue cloak, a transparent blue veil, and a crown. She carried a rosary in her hand. When we got home, we were quiet and unsettled. Ivetka told her mother what had happened, but her mother didn’t believe her. Hoping for confirmation, they went to Katka’s house. Both Katka and Ivetka broke into tears, upset that no one believed them. However, Ivetka’s mother began to doubt her disbelief. The next day, Katka’s mother prayed, "Blessed Mother, give me a sign that the girls are telling the truth." That night, her prayer was answered in a dream. She saw the Blessed Mother wearing a green garland. When she asked about it, the Blessed Mother replied, "Because I am a Virgin and have a pure heart." She also reassured Katka’s mother, saying, "Yes, the girls are telling the truth. Do not doubt them." Later that August, we returned to the hillside with Ivetka’s parents. At the hut, only the three of us—Katka, Ivetka, and Mitko—entered, asking for privacy to pray. We recited the "Our Father," "Hail Mary," and "Golden Our Father" three times each, along with "Mary, Our Mother, protect us under your mantle." As we prayed, a mist filled the room, and within it, we could faintly see the outline of the Blessed Mother. She didn’t speak or leave a message, but her presence reassured us. After she disappeared, we ran out to tell our parents. However, only Katka and Ivetka saw her; Mitko did not.

Blessed Mother, forgive me for all my sins
 

Only Ivetka and a few women were present in the field. I saw the Blessed Mother and said to her:" Blessed Mother forgives me for all my sins," even though I had gone to confession only two days ago. The Blessed Mother gently asked me what I wished for. I told her about my mother, whose arms and back had been hurting, and asked for her healing. My request was heartfelt, as my birthday was coming up the following month and I wanted my mother to feel better.    The Blessed Mother reassured me, saying, "Do not be afraid; your mother will soon be cured because of your tears."  At her words, I began to cry, not just out of relief, but also because the Blessed Mother herself was crying. I felt sorrowful, too because Katka had not come. Katka had broken her promise to go to church and confession and had  not fulfilled the commitments she made during first apparition. Ivetka meanwhile was kneeling very still, staring at the spot where the Blessed Mother appeared. Suddenly, Ivetka's mother opened the door and at that moment Ivetka jumped up, threw her arms around her mother's neck and tearfully reproached her: Why did you come and open the door right now, justa as I was begging the Blessed Mother to stay longer with me!

Be example for other
 

Today is the holy day of the "Protection of the Mother of God."Katka and I were in the field with about 20 peoples from the village. I (Ivetka), saw the Blessed Mother clearly, but Katka saw her only faintly, as if through a fog because there were sins on her soul. The Blessed Mother told Katka to go to confession today so that she could to be an example to others

Prayer for the sinners
 

Both of us girls were in the field with about twenty other. We began by praying "Our Father" and the "Hail Mary" three times followed and by "Golden Our father". As we prayed we saw the Blessed Mother - she appeared very happy.  She told us that all during the entire month of October we would not see her, but she would be praying for the conversion of sinners and would always be with us. I asked her about a deaf and mute boy, and she revealed that his father has been beating his mother. She explained that this act was as if he had struck his spiritual Mother. Knowing that the rosary was being prayed in the church, we prepared to return home. However, the Blessed Mother asked us to remain with her a little longer, and so we stayed to pray the rosary together. After finishing the rosary, we started our journey back home but felt uneasy passing through the woods. Suddenly, Ivetka shouted that she saw the Blessed Mother near the woods. We prepared for prayer by repeating "Mary, our mother, protect us under your mantle" nine times. At that moment the Blessed Mother opened her mantle and protected us accompanying us the entire way home. AS we walked, we sang and prayed the "Our father." The Blessed Mother remained with us until we reached the roadside cross, where her presence left us in peace...

Message and heart
 

There were about 40 people present as we entered the hut. We prayed in the same way as the first time. Out of the fog, the outline of the Blessed Mother began to appear and gradually, her full figure became clear. She was dressed humbly and she was barefoot. Ivetka said, "I was wondering why the Blessed Mother seemed so sad." The Blessed Mother then spoke to saying: "I am very sad because Katka did not dedicate the entire month of October to me. She did not pray the rosary every evening to repent for her sins." The Blessed Mother asked us to come to the field frequently. I was worried how I would manage to go there once winter came and the snow began to fall. But she reassured me saying: Do not be afraid. I have never caused harm, only help." At that moment I began to cry and the others in the room with me also wept. We cried because Katka was still not fully prepared; she had not sufficiently atoned for her sins. The Blessed Mother wanted to give us a message to spread, a message we carry to others.

Blessed water
 

We went up to the field where we prayed rosary together. The Blessed Mother appeared from gradually revealing her outline. We asked her if a Divine Liturgy should be offered here. She told us that the Divine Liturgy should be celebrated in honor of her Immaculate Heart. There were many people present and we began to feel unwell. We went to the spring, washed our faces and returned. We knelt down again and the Blessed Mother spoke to. She explained that we saw her faintly because our hearts were stained with sin. She instructed us to pray the rosary three times. She then told us that she had blessed the water from the spring and that she wanted everyone to take it. The Blessed Mother was shining brightly, her purity radiating. She asked us to turn our faces toward the people. When we did, we saw that all the people had dirty faces. Then the Blessed Mother disappeared.

Disaster and Prayer of Slovakia
 

There were many people present. We prayed two decades of the rosary and then began the Divine Liturgy. We had an apparition: The Blessed Mother began to form herself out of the mist - first as outline, then fully visible. She told us that when the message was delivered, only two of us and the priests should remain in the room. During the Divine Liturgy, we did not see her, but only after it had ended. When the people began to pray, they continued with the holy rosary, but we could not hear them because the Blessed Mother appeared again. She told us that she could not longer bear to look at the sins of Slovakia, where her children have so much, yet do not worship her Son and Her. Her son will send a disaster to Slovakia; but if people will convert, and begin to pray more sincerely and more fervently, the disaster could be gradually postponed. The Blessed Mother was deeply sad, and urged us to spread this message throughout Slovakia so that all the people of Slovakia would come and pray here.

Forgiveness and love
 

We went to the field and there were many people. On the way up, we prayed and sang. Then, the people began to sing this hymn: "We have made a wreath for you, Mary...." We looked to the side and we saw the Blessed Mother with roses around her feet. As we climbed higher, the people sang "Jesus and Mary are coming with us." We looked to the right and saw the Blessed Mother holding Jesus in her arms. She was barefoot and Jesus was wrapped in a white cloth. We all sang together the song: "When we finished the rosary...", and we saw the Blessed Mother walking with a rosary. Then we turned around but we no longer saw her. When we arrived at the place of the apparitions, we knelt and prayed as always. Then, the Blessed Mother appeared again with Jesus in her arms. Jesus was crying wearily. She gave us a message, saying that very few people make sacrifice. Jesus made Himself a sacrifice for all nations. She asked: "Why don't men make sacrifices as Jesus did so many years ago? She told us that people have many material things, they have everything they want and would even kill each other for more possessions. They only seek to accumulate more.

Jesus Himself taught us to love one another, and to forgive one another." The Blessed Mother said: “Even if the water in the spring has some dirt,if anything is immersed in it, the water is still good." She urged us to spread the message throughout Slovakia. Then, she asked us to tell the people not to lie but to speak the truth. She also asked why there were not more people coming to pray with us. A woman came to us with a piece of paper on which was written that her son had abandoned the faith. She asked how she could bring back to believe in God.The Blessed Mother replied: "Her son became distracted from the faith when he went to Prague to pursue his studies. He fell in with a bad group and began to change. He became ashamed to say he was a Christian." The Blessed Mother said that his mother should pray for him. She should fast and then the Blessed Mother would take care of everything.

Still not enough people
 

The Blessed Mother appeared dressed entirely in white with a beautiful white veil and white rosary in her hands. Her presence was serene yet solemn as she gave as a second warning. Only a few people were present to witness her message. She said: "Jesus sacrificed Himself for all nations. My children have so many material possessions that they even kill one another. My Son preached and taught that men should love and forgive one another. But this teaching is not being fulfilled here!"

Invitation for priests
 

The Blessed Mother appeared out of the mist, her outline gradually becoming visible until we could see her clearly. She was dressed in a blue gown with a blue rosary with crucifix bordered in gold and was entirely gold. Her expression was kind and filled with grace. She gave us message for the priest: "Please celebrate the Divine Liturgy here on Sunday. Invite believers from all the parishes. They can come without fear. The Holy Spirit will guide them. The Holy Liturgy should be celebrated in honor of My Son and Me. She then added with gentle smile:" Thank you." I asked her about Helenka, whose leg has been causing her pain. The Blessed Mother replied: God has permitted this as a test to see whether she will remain faithful or turn away from Him. If she continue to pray, she will be healed. I also inquired about a woman struggling with alcohol. The Blessed Mother said: "It is necessary to bring her to this place of apparitions. She must be sober. Let her come into the hut and pray alone. She will be accepted. She should also wash often  in the holy spring." Finally, the Blessed Mother shared an important message: My power is strongest in the field, the hut and near the spring. It is there that I work my miracles.

I am the Immaculate Purity
 

.Katka and Ivetka shared: "After the praying," Mary, our Mother, hide us beneath your coat, "we saw contours of face, crown and dress emerge from the fog. The Virgin Mary appeared dressed in white with gold trimmings and translucent veil. We asked her name… The beautiful woman replied:

"I am the Immaculate Purity."

When asked where she came, she answered:

"I am coming from heaven."

She continued:

"This Saturday will be my holy day (December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception). I will be glad if people come here and dedicate this pilgrimage to my Son." She asked us to repeat her previous message, as many new people had arrived who had not heard it. She also once again recommended  praying the Holy Rosary. We asked the Virgin Mary to intercede for the sick and their families. She replied: To be healed of physical and mental ilnesses, it is necessary to pray the entire Rosary daily (joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries), to fast on Wednesday and Friday and to drink water from the spring of the Mountain. The cause of each disease is a sin. Then she added: Sick will be healed, but not all. Our Lady reiterated her message  urging people to pray the Holy Rosary. She warned: Peoples hate one another and chase after wealth. Slovakia faces a great disaster. If people repent, the disaster will be delayed.

Do not be afraid and come to me
 

People gathered to pray Rosary together. Katka and Ivetka shared: "Suddenly, a fog appeared, and from the mist the Virgin Mary emerged. She was dressed in a white gown and wore a white veil. In her hands, she held a white lily, a symbol of purity. She looked joyful and we were overjoyed when she smiled at us.  Our Lady began speaking: " The Holy Mass, I have previously requested - I now ask again. Let it be celebrated here, at my favorite place on the day of my Son's birthday so that people may receive Body and Blood of Christ.". We asked her how people would come in snow and frost, because there is tending to cruel winter. Mary replied: "Do not worry about snow, frost or wind and come to me. I never hurt anyone; I only offer help. We told her that some people did not believe us when we said we saw her so often. Mary responded: "I will appear as many times as necessary." She invited everyone to come here in December, despite the snow and frost, promising that their Prayer would be heard. With a radiant smile, Our Lady began to depart in the same gentle way she had appeared. This day was truly dedicated to the Virgin Mary."

A miracle will come at the right time
 

Ivetka: "We prayed all the usual prayers. As people began praying the Rosary, a powerful light appeared, and within it, we saw the outlines of the Virgin Mary. She was all radiant but her crown gleamed most brightly. Her arms were and a brilliant light radiated from her hand. I asked the Virgin Mary how our local priest should approach the bishop to request permission to celebrate Holy Mass here on Zvir. Our Lady smiled gently and said, "Let Father simply repeat what I announced on Saturday and I will take care of the rest." I then asked if she could perform a visible miracle to help people believe and encourage them to come here to pray the Rosary. Her expression grew serious as she replied: "A miracle will come at the right time."

With repentance and prayer comes joy
 

As we prayed together, as usual, and begin reciting the Rosary, fog began to form. Soon, we saw the outline of the Virgin Mary. She appeared radiant, dressed in a golden gown with a golden flange ,a blue belt, a blue coat, and a veil. She wore a crown. Ivetka shared: "At the beginning, I asked what people should do to have a joyful Christmas and spend holidays in happiness. Our Lady replied: "It is necessary for all people to repent and pray the Holy Rosary. This will guarantee beautiful and happy holidays." When Our Lady spoke of repentance, she placed her hand over her heart. People came from far and near - both the sick and the healthy - each with their own desire and requests. To fulfill these prayers, Our Lady ask that people pray and fast on Wednesdays and Fridays."

 
December 23, 1990
 
Holy rosary - all need for grace
 

Ivetka shared: "We saw the Virgin Mary, and she told us that a visible sign will appear soon. We asked her why she always encourages us to pray Rosary. She replied: "I am the Immaculate Purity, and the Queen of the Holy Rosary. Whoever prays the Rosary, at the same time is asking for all the necessary graces"

 
December 24, 1990
 
Pure heart - dwelling for Jesus
 

The girls asked Our Lady to bless the priests. She smiled and gently nodded, assuring them of her protection. Then she said: On my Son's birthday, let people have clean hearts, so Jesus can dwell within them. During Christmas people may receive him with pure heart." Our Lady appeared wearing a white dress, light blue coat, and a veil. She sat gracefully on a bench, holding a rosary in her hands.

 
 
December 25,1990
 
Important are good deeds
 

The Virgin Mary appeared to us through the fog, dressed the same as yesterday. Ivetka shared: "We wanted to ask the Virgin Mary, if she loves us, but we didn't know how to put it into words. Yet she understood without us asking and she answered herself: "I love all people who pray the Rosary, but also those who offend me." She then reminded us to share her message from Christmas Eve: "It is not important, to have tables full of food. Jesus was not born in a poor stable for such things. What truly matter is that you fill your lives with good deeds done in God's grace."

 
December 26,1990
 
Test of courage
 

The Virgin Mary said to the girls: "The storm, last night was a test - to see if people would still come to the mountain, remembering  my previous message: not to fear snow, frost or wind, but to trust and come to me. I have never brought harm to anyone; I only offer only help."

 
December 30,1990
 
Medallions of immaculate Purity
 

Girls asked the Virgin Mary, what would like she wish. She answered: Make the medallions to be made with my name, which I have told you, on the one side of the locket, but only the initials. Under the name will be my pure dazzling Heart and the white lily - sign of my purity. On the other side will be my picture with my Son in my arms.  Medallions should be worn by people who feel the respect to me and to my Son.

 

 One, who will wear this locket, respect my purity and honor me under the name of Immaculate Purity, will always get my help if he will ask for it.

 

Girls then asked to bless of St. Church and all religious nurses. Mary did not say anything, just pleasantly smiled.
