Between 1961 and 1965, in a cattle village of Cantabria, thousands of people testified to having witnessed extraordinary phenomena. The visionaries, four girls between 11 and 12 years old at the beginning of the events, claimed to see the Virgin on hundreds of occasions. Numerous theologians and doctors of diverse specialties carried out exhaustive studies with very different conclusions.

From the first weeks, an episcopal commission studied the events. This commission rejected the supernaturality of the events in 1962.

Along with this, in 1966 the four seers denied having seen the Virgin before the Bishop of Santander. From these events four special notes on the supernaturality of the phenomena up to 1970.

Since 1983 the main doctor of the commission, Dr. Luis Morales, the reports that made the apparitions were discarded in the sixties, he publicly confessed his mistake and claimed the authenticity of the apparitions. The negations of the girls, made in the middle of today that no one can discuss, were denied by the four visionaries over time. In 1991 a second commission concluded its investigation affirming NON CONSTAT. Card. Ratzinger, in 1993 signed a letter, unpublished until the publication of this book, which ratifies the 1991 NON CONSTAT. According to the Theology, this formula, repeated before by all the diocesan bishops until today, expresses indecision: neither approved nor the apparitions are condemned. The Church today awaits.

In this situation, this book, based on a Doctoral Thesis of Historical Theology in 2017,

ofrece al lector la garantía de conocer la verdad histórica de los sucesos y todo el proceso eclesiástico de las apariciones. La amplia y sólida documentación consultada en su investigación, concedió al autor, José Luis Saavedra, el título de Doctor en Teología, en la especialidad de Historia, con la máxima calificación en la Facultad de Teología de la Universidad de Navarra.
