Our Lady of the Good Event of Quito and nineteenth-century prophetic reception

Record summary

The Quito devotion to Our Lady of the Good Event centers on reported apparitions to the Conceptionist nun Mariana de Jesús Torres, traditionally dated to the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Prophetic statements attributed to the apparitions circulated more widely in later devotional publications, including nineteenth-century contexts, and were subsequently applied to church and political developments. The lead matters for studying retrospective prophecy and the formation of apparition dossiers. The chronology, manuscript chain and authenticity of the attributed prophecies are disputed, and later editions may shape the familiar narrative.
