Summary
Our Lady appears in Itapiranga, in northern Brazil to the young Edson Glauber, who sees Mary as a very beautiful seventeen year old. Mary tells him she is the Queen of the Rosary. Sometimes she comes with the Child Jesus in the arms of St. Joseph, and speaks of the consecration to the most chaste Heart of St. Joseph. St. Joseph appears with a heart on his chest and in his heart there is a M with a cross, as if to indicate that the three hearts are always together. The mission he was given is to pray for the young, for their conversion, for peace and for the world. |

A first appearance took place in Manaus. The young man saw the Virgin with Jesus and St. Joseph. When Edson inquired why the Madonna chose to appear as mother and son, he was told: "Because I want to show all my children all over the world, the love of a mother that I have for my son Jesus and love of a son that Jesus has for me. For this I chose to appear as mother and son to represent this love."
He portrays the image as well as he saw it and their three hearts are gathered on the same level: that of the Virgin, pierced by a cross, radiating light to the heart of Joseph, which in turn radiates light to the land and into the heart of the little Child Jesus, in the arm of St. Joseph, on the right side of the picture, but aligned at the same height as the other two without the image giving significance or priority to any one person.
The mission he was given is to pray for the young, for their conversion, for peace and for the world. |

Many spiritual fruits of conversion and change of life are associated with this appearance. |

Visionary
Edson Glauber was a 22-year old student of economics at the time of the apparitions. He is a kind, stable, and calm, showing himself to be a remarkably balanced person, according to Mons. Rene Laurentin (Dictionary of the Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary p. 950).
Messages
Mary speaks to the truth of the apparitions of some previous apparitions at Ghiaie di Bonate, Italy, where she introduces herself as the Queen of the family. The young man had never heard of her, nor knew the place. With the spiritual director, an Italian priest, had the opportunity to visit Ghiaie di Bonate, with the permission of his bishop of Manaos. In Italy, in different places, had apparitions of Mary that confirmed his appearances Ghiaie di Bonate and insisted on the recitation of the rosary and penance to save the world ill because of unbelief. There is a great emphasis on prayer, the Holy Mass, confession and communion.
Miracles and signs

Some doctors have studied the healings there and then sent the results obtained to the Apostolic Prefecture of Itacoatiara.
