“…Visionary Blessed John, whose Marian apparitions began in the 1980s in the U.S.S.R., founded The Orthodox Church KREBS 3 of 9 of the Sovereign Mother of God in the 1990s (Clay, 2000). Church leaders, even decades after the apparitions have ended or the visionary has died, may control the official narrative about the apparitions and interpretations of their meanings (Park, 2012).…”

“…Some movements, like the Quebec movement of Our Lady of All Nations/Peoples associated with visionary Marie‐Paule Giguère, can develop autonomously despite opposition from Church authorities (Margry, ).

“…Much remains to be explored about thousands of apparitions that have not yet been studied academically and especially apparitions outside the Roman Catholic world that might challenge some of the trends I have described here. The work of Eugene Clay () on The Orthodox Church of the Sovereign Mother of God, a Russian Marian movement, and Agnieszka Halemba () on a series of apparitions in Dzhublyk, Ukraine offer culturally and theologically diverse contributions to Marian scholarship.…”

“…New religions studies, moreover, lends itself theoretically and analytically to deflating categories, a necessary approach when examining apparitions.

It is therefore appropriate that this essay is included in the New Religions section of Religion Compass.…”

Marian apparitions and devotions since the early 19th century have been unique enough to consider them on their own terms. In what devotees have dubbed the "Marian Age," apparitions tend toward conservative politics and messages; a context of struggle; ambiguous attitudes toward modernity, globalization, and technology; and apocalyptic worldviews. Many of these modern apparitions are interconnected, becoming validated through their overlaps, continuities, and congruencies alongside-and often outside-traditional channels of Roman Catholic Church leadership. Apparitions and the devotional cultures associated with them raise for scholars important questions, including the problem of how they should be categorized and studied.
