From 1968 to 1971, the Our Lady of Zeitoun apparitions in Zeitoun, Egypt, were witnessed by millions, including Christians and Muslims, who reported sightings of the Virgin Mary. Thousands reported witnessing miraculous healings and spiritual transformations.

Despite initial attempts to explain the sightings as mere reflections or light phenomena, no natural explanation could account for the consistent and widespread nature of the events.

The Egyptian government investigated the events, even cutting off electricity to rule out artificial lights, but the apparitions continued. The government could not find any device or source for the lights within a wide radius. And eventually recognized the apparitions as authentic.
