On that day, the Virgin appeared to the children, each in turn, sad, frustrated, the seers even said that she was angry. It was nevertheless the day where on earth we celebrate her triumph in the sky. Alphonsine saw the Mother of God crying. The seers sometimes cried, chattered their teeth, or trembled. They collapsed several times with all the weight of their body during the apparitions, which continued for eight hours, without stopping. The children saw terrifying images, a river of blood, people who killed one another, cadavers abandoned without anyone to bury them, a tree all on fire, a wide open chasm, a monster, decapitated heads. The crowd present that day, around 20,000 people, kept an impression of fear, even of panic and sadness.
