More Description

On April 12, 1981, a major celestial event occurred in the United States of America, which was described by numerous news sources as a spectacular aurora borealis. This event was witnessed by many people across the United States, from east to west as well as north and south. It was viewed by meteorologists and other experts as highly unusual as aurora borealis generally do not occur in this manner. Many who witnessed this illumination of the skies, thought that mountains and other areas were on fire, and people lit up switchboards in numerous places, calling the police and fire stations to report the event.
In this ground-breaking work , author Tom Doyle discusses this heavenly fire in the United States, as well as other incredible events in relation to the ongoing apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Medjugorje, a town in southwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is in former Yugoslavia.

The author discusses the fact that just about one month after the phenomenal heavenly event in the United States in April 1981, Pope John Paul II, now St. John Paul II, was shot by an assassin on the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13, 1981. The bullets that hit the Holy Father miraculously missed his major organs and arteries, and he attributed the saving of his life to the prayers and intercession of Our Lady of Fatima. Just a little over one month after this event, and no doubt due to the Holy Father's prayers and intercession and pleas to Our Lady, on June 24, 1981, Our Lady first appeared to several young people in Medjugorje as the "Queen of Peace." The author discusses these and other events and ties them together with a historical perspective, providing evidence of the intricate relationship between the events at Fatima and Medjugorje.
