Glitter of the Mystical Rose: A modern touch?

This is absolutely new to me. Viewed the video last evening. This seems so MODERN of Our Lady, if I'm understanding correctly that instances of "escarchas" began mid-20th Century. Especially in the 1960s (later Apparitions http://www.divinemysteries.info/the-mystical-rose-montichiari-fontanelle-italy-1947-1966/), and with so many popular songs then mentioning the name "Mary" or with "Mary" in the title: Mary, Mary (The Monkees), Let It Be (The Beatles), Along Comes Mary (The Association), Pretty Mary Sunlight (Earl Clifton/1970), etc. Was this an effort by Our Lady to reach out to youth who might soon be swept into the 1960s counter-culture? Or maybe my enthusiasm is carrying me away?

I'm fascinated by this.

"Was this an effort by Our Lady to reach out to youth who might soon be swept into the 1960s counter-culture?" Very interesting contemplation!

Has anyone here encountered this personally?

 

This is so interesting!

August 18, 2011 Reported at [Miracle-witness.blogspot.com] - Escarchas: God's Glitter? I have witnessed the strange phenomenon of Escarchas more than a few times. I never see it in a taxi, or a football stadium, or a bar. No, it always presents itself in a place, and at a time, of deeply serious worship. Afterwards, it often remains on church pews, or even on the hands or faces of prayer warriors. The word "Escarchas" means "frost" in Spanish. When Americans see it, they often call it glitter. But, though it looks like glitter, it is very different. A translated Spanish article, found on [SpiritDaily.com], describes the scientific testing that was done on a collection of Escarchas from 1993 to 1995. The original article was titled, "La Gracia de las Escarchas" and was written by former monk Allan Weilart.

Investigators from different laboratories at the Central University of Venezuela, conducted two sets of studies. They found remarkable differences in man-made glitter and the Escarchas that had appeared on different dates at the monastery of Carrizal, as well as other convents and a Marian conference. Viewing with a microscope and then an electron microscope, the samples were compared, next, they were chemically processed and compared, finally, incinerated and compared. The chemical processing included using nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, isopropol alcohol, hydroxide of sodium, benzol, benzene, and flurohydric acid.

The chemical processing included using nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, isopropol alcohol, hydroxide of sodium, benzol, benzene, and flurohydric acid. In the Escarchas, the scientists observed the presence of protozoans, algae, or fungi, bubbles of air, water and crystals, without activity. To them, the Escarchas seemed like fossils. On the other hand, the man-made glitter "do not contain anything organic in them." The chemical processing revealed that the Escarchas are not metallic, nor plastic, nor mica, nor resin. In fact, their composition could not be determined. Test results with flames showed that, unlike with man-made glitter, Escarchas did not indicate serious bleaching, but actually increased their shine. Also, extreme heat applied to the Escarchas did not produce any irritating odor, noxious to the eyes and throat, like the glitter produced.



On September 23, 1999, a priest who wishes to remain anonymous claimed that the Most Holy Virgin Mary explained to him the meaning of each color of Escarchas. Here is what he reported that she said:

• Silver: I show magnanimity of my heart. Ask what you want.
• Golden: I incline toward the weak. I will heal you Spiritually, physically, psychologically, and morally.
• Blue: I announce that I am nearby. I am with you.
• Green: These open you to hope in God, acting in His favor.
• Red: In times of trial, you offer me a sacrifice. Remember that I love you.
• Transparent: Humility is the path that leads to freedom. I know those who are humble and simple.
• Aquamarine: On every treacherous road, I will be with you.

It is interesting to watch someone preserve Escarchas with clear tape, because when it is lifted from a pew, it often seems to almost well up, filling in with more where some was removed. I have watched it appear on my hands, before my eyes, for example, as Ruth Werkowski prayed over me. My mother, who attends Mass almost every day, was blessed with Escarchas in her pew. This miraculous manifestation of God's love is not, of course, a foundation of my beliefs. I see it, instead, as a lovely sign of God's encouragement."

 

Yes, PurpleFlower.

I asked my husband, whose mother was a devout Catholic, if she ever mentioned it. He said yes, it seems she had (unsure if she witnessed it herself).

I'm hoping to have an experience.

It's interesting to read this. But I have a question. This is from some years ago. There's one church in town that has/or had a penticostal type group. I think they called it Glory to God or something like that. Anyway, I was able to attend some of their prayer times. Once, they were praying a scriptural rosary where each Hail Mary had a verse read along with it. And people could comment at times if they "felt" her presence. I felt a presence that I thought was her, but the color associated with this was pink. Is that ever a color associated with her, or was it something else? I remember feeling overwhelmed and a bit scared. As soon as I said something, this feeling/ color left. It was something that I could never forget.

 

I never heard of this! but I will do some research, I am very interested. Thank you so much for sharing. I DO know that Irish women love glitter . . .kinda makes me think of that old saying' all that glitters is not gold' but maybe special graces?

 

I was once told that Our Lady of the Holy Souls is, according to tradition, clothed in pink though I have not been able to find confirmation of this. This information was given to me shortly after I prayed in a graveyard in Medjugorje for the souls of those buried there and those of my own family and took a photo of St. James' Church when this image came out on the developed photo.

 

I've read that some people (recently) perceive pink, but that Marian Blue is the standard.
