The Vatican has approved the devotion to the Spanish Marian shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows of Chandavila where the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared to two young girls at the end of World War II.
A 22 August letter from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) accepts the decree of Archbishop José Rodríguez Carballo of Mérida-Badajoz approving the spiritual activities at the shrine in the village of La Codosera, located in western Spain’s lesser known Extremadura region that borders Portugal.
