The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to the faithful throughout history.

Speaking to them, she often gave stark warnings and foretold future events.

5 Marian prophecies that came true, a 🧵

1. Crisis of the 20th Century Foretold at Our Lady of the Good Event (1600s)

Mary told a nun in Quito that the 20th century would be marked by a loss of faith, moral corruption, and attacks on the family and the priesthood.

Looking back, it's safe to say the prophecy came true

2. Russia’s Global Influence Foretold at Fatima (1917)

Mary warned that Russia would spread her errors throughout the world.

Soon after the Fatima apparition, the Bolsheviks seized power in the country.

Communism spread to many countries, followed by militant atheism.

In 1531, the Blessed Virgin Mary left her image on a humble peasant’s cloak.

The image has defied scientific explanation ever since.

Five amazing facts about the tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a 🧵

In December 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to a native convert, Saint Juan Diego, near Mexico City.

She asked for a shrine to be built on Tepeyac Hill and miraculously healed Juan’s uncle, who was dying of an infection.

When the bishop requested a sign, Our Lady told Juan to bring him flowers from Tepeyac Hill.

He found roses, not native to Mexico, blooming there in the winter.

When Diego brought them in his tilma and opened it, the miraculous image of Our Lady appeared on the rough cloth.

Christianity had many great heroes over the centuries.

Among them, seven stand out.

The Seven Champions of Christendom, a thread 🧵

1. Saint George

Saint George was a Roman soldier.

He refused to worship the false gods and was murdered under Diocletian.

His triumph over evil, exemplified by the slaying of the dragon, made him England’s beloved patron and a model of courage and chivalry.

2. Saint Andrew

Andrew, brother of Peter, preached the Gospel across Asia Minor and Greece.

Crucified on an X-shaped cross, he is honored in Scotland for his martyrdom to this day.

He became the patron of the country, and his cross became its symbol.

Christians have venerated icons since the beginning.

Yet some claim it is pagan and idolatrous.

Ancient scholars have already settled this debate.

Iconography and iconoclasm, a 🧵

In the early centuries, believers used images to honor Christ.

In the Roman catacombs, symbols like the Good Shepherd gave the persecuted Christians hope.

These were signs of faith, not idols.

As persecution came to an end, Christian art grew richer.

Frescoes, mosaics, and painted panels became a way to preach the Gospel to the illiterate and commemorate martyrs of the faith.

They became a powerful and beautiful reminder of the faith.

Many believe that Europe stagnated and invented nothing of worth.

But that's far from the truth.

7 Medieval European inventions that changed the world, a 🧵

1. The Heavy Plow

A product of the early medieval period, the heavy plow transformed agriculture.

Its iron plowshare could break up dense, rich soils.

This allowed medieval farmers to feed growing towns and villages, resulting in rapid population growth.

2. Mechanical Clocks

The first mechanical clocks were developed around 1300 by medieval monks.

These precise devices replaced water clocks and marked time in monasteries and towns.

They changed how people organized labor and prayer.
