Brother Vincent gave great attention to apparition of St. Mary of Zeitoun, 1968. He came to Egypt at 1970 and he was eager to see the apparition of St. Mary as he wrote “each night from August 14, 1970 until September 2, 1970, almost without exception, almost without exception, I was prayerfully watching for St. Mary, in the churchyard of the Coptic Orthodox Church, at the corner of Toumanbey Street and Khalil Lane”
Features of the book:
- The author was blessed by seeing St. Mary three times during his visit to Egypt in 1970 and recorded his witnesses accurately.

- Brother Vincent met many eyewitnesses during his presence in the churchyard of Zeitoun and he checked thoroughly their testimonies and recorded their audible testimonies. We can summarize these witnesses as follows: the Virgin Mary’s appearances at Zeitoun were described as a shimmering figure, often in full or half-form, wearing a veil and habit, moving, and sometimes seen with arms outstretched or making the sign of the cross. Accompanying phenomena included luminescence of the church domes and cross, pigeons flying in circles, and star-like glittering lights. The visions were witnessed by “thousands” of people from various religious backgrounds and were even captured in photographs
