  This travel book with religious interest describes visits to seven of the European shrines where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in recent history. They include Hriushiw in the Ukraine, Medjugorje in Herzegovina, Svata Hora in Bohemia, Czechochowa in Poland, Garabandal in Spain, Fatima in Portugal and Walsingham in England. In each case the sun is supposed to have been seen to dance. The Virgin is said to have foretold, among other things, the collapse of Marxism and warned of disasters such as Chernobyl. On each occasion she has called the people of the world back to faith. The appearance at Garabandal, Medjugorje and particularly Fatima, have been accompanied by the disclosure to the visionaries of terrible secrets, and the promise of supernatural signs visible to all. Initially, sceptic, Desmond Seward finds his doubting Christian faith bolstered by his experiences.

  This travel book tells how Desmond Seward, initially sceptical, made a seven-fold pilgrimage to European shrines where the sun has danced in recent years. It led him to Medjugorje in Herzegovina, Svata Hora in Bohemia, Czestechowa in Poland, Fatima in Portugal and Walsingham in England. Witnessed by millions, the Virgin has appeared at most of them, foretelling the collapse of Marxism, but also warning of other disasters (such as Chernobyl) which threaten to overwhelm the world as the second millenium approaches - unless mankind returns to faith. By the author of a comparative biography of Napoleon and Hitler and The Monks of War .
