Yolanda Rios, the owner of the house in front of the palm tree where the Virgin Mary appeared, told local media: “I was told by a neighbour, Miriam Grenon, on Monday afternoon.

She said when her friend found her she told her: “‘I have a gift for you’, and she asked me ‘what do you see in the palm tree?’”

“I said ‘I see the Virgin’, it was a real joy.”

She added: “Since then, I have kept praying to the Virgin, last night there were quite a few neighbours there, they took some pictures but today a lot of people went, they were praying the rosary, a lot of people are coming to see her.

“She (the Virgin) is asking us to pray, she has come here to bless the neighbourhood, the city, the country and the ill people.”

Another local resident, who was not named in reports, said: “For me, it is the Virgin, it is a message, I am speechless. Everyone sees what they want to see.”
