Summary/Description: During a terrible drought afflicting the region a group of Christian Indians decided to abandon the new religion and return to their old gods. As they prepared a pagan rite suddenly they saw a “woman” that was floating over the earth’s surface. The apparition told the Indians that if they build a temple where she was she would put an end to the famine. They did what the strange woman ordered and the famine ended. Interpreted as a Marian vision.
