The Seer of Bayside

Veronica Lueken, (1923-1995), also known as "The Seer of Bayside", was a wife and mother of five children, She gave up her soul to God this past August 3rd, 1995 at the age of seventy-two. She was a most priviledged soul, having been entrusted with perhaps the most important revelations in the annals of Church History.

The story of her heavenly visitations began in 1968 when St. Theresa, the "Little Flower", appeared and directed her to record her poems and spiritual writings.

Our Lady herself appeared to Veronica in her home on April 7, 1970, informing her that she would appear on the grounds of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside, Queens, New York, on June 18th, 1970; that vigils of prayer be held there (now temporarily held at the Vatican Pavilion site in Flushing, Queens, New York), and that full directions be given to the local parish clergy to prepare for Our Lady's first visit there. Our Lady also requested that a Shrine and Basilica be erected on this this Her chosen sacred site which is to be named "Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers". Our Lady promised to come on the great feast days of the Church. The Blessed Mother further instructed Veronica to disseminate the messages given to her throughout the world.

Our Lady requested that the Rosary be recited for the duration of the Vigil. On all Vigils when Veronica was present a message was given to her from Heaven, either from Our Lady, Jesus or on occasion a powerful Saint from Heaven. The messages were repeated word for word by Veronica. She also gave a very detailed description of what she saw. All was recorded on cassette tape.

Even though Veronica is no longer present with us, Our Lady promised to be with us until the Second Coming of Her son; so the miraculous cures, conversions and photographs as well as the Vigils of prayer and atonement continue to this very day on the great feast days of the Roman Catholic Church from 7:30p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the Vatican Pavillion Site in Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, borough of Queens, New York City, New York.

One of the most outstanding miraculous photographs ever - taken a few hours before the Vigil of November 25th, 1978. T. Bachor of Long Island, New York was taking a picture of J. Miles (foreground) approximately 70 yards from the Vatican Pavillion site, (situated in this photograph at the bottom of Our Lady's mantle). The image of the Virgin Mary, The Mother of God, appears out of nowhere dominating the sky above Her apparition site. Note the hand that appears to the left of the image pointing toward Our Lady.



A unique phenomenon that occurs at the apparition site of Our Lady of the Roses is the taking of miraculous photographs by the pilgrims attending the Vigils. These miraculous photographs have been taken at every Vigil by thousands of people over the past twenty-five years. Our Lady has said that the Eternal Father is making use of modern technology "to communcate with a fallen generation", a generation whose hearts are so hardened, and eyes so blinded, that they need some type of physical proof of the supernatural to attest to the authenticity of the Bayside visions.

Our Lady has directed that the pictures should be taken with Polaroid or other kinds of instant self-developing cameras, since these pictures develop "on the spot" and therefore eliminate later accusations of tampering with the negatives.

These miraculous pictures seem to defy all scientific analysis. Pictures which have been submitted to the Polaroid Company have been returned with the comment that, "This company cannot offer any explanation concerning the photographs and the symbols shown in them.". They were especially baffled by the "JACINTA 1972" photograph - which is so unique and so unexplainable that experts can only shake their heads in wonder...




September 14, 1971... A man took a picture of Our Lady's statue with a Polaroid instant camera. The words "JACINTA 1972" appeared on the picture in an eerie supernatural scrawl across the face of the picture.

Heaven appears to desperately trying to communicate with mankind in these "latter days", and seems to be using the camera as one of several means to do so. Our Lady has asked that we read the Apocalypse, (The last book in the New Testament) saying that we are indeed living in those days. And so, in view of the fact that the Apocalypse itself makes extensive use of symbolism, heaven seems to be using the same method by communicating with symbols in the miraculous photographs.

Symbols most generally known fall into four categories.
These are:
1) Numbers
2) Letters of the alphabet
3) Concrete symbols
4) Colours

THE NUMBERS

The numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 have a special significance.
2 - Means man or woman
3 - means "warning"
4 - means "evil man" (or woman)
5 - One of the principal demons released from hell
6 - Is Lucifer himself.. A combination of "666" is interpreted to mean the forces of Anti-Christ.
7 - Represents Christ
8 - Means the Eucharist or the priesthood.

LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET

The letter "A" (capital A) means "anno", and is generally interpreted to mean "this year."
The letter ''M" (capital) means "Mary". . . "Our Lady."
The letter "W" stands for "Warning'' and usually refers to the coming of the worldwide warning.
The Omega sign which is the last letter in the Greek Alphabet also appears-meaning the end is at hand.

COMMON CONCRETE SYMBOLS

Rosaries: Appear as dashed lines commonly yellow or green.
Images of Our Lady and Our Lord have appeared in photographs.
Snakes: the presence of the forces of hell.
A noose: in a picture represents Judas. This symbol is associated with a betrayer.
Demon's heads: have appeared on many pictures.
Sign of the Fish denotes the Catholic priesthood.

COLOURS HAVE A SIGNIFICANCE:

BLUE: is the colour denoting the presence of Our Lady.
PINK: is the colour denoting the presence of Our Lord.
GREEN: is the colour designating the presence of the Holy Archangel, St. Michael.

The cross over America - A glowing cross appears over the American Flag...(There was no cross anywhere near the American Flag when this photo was taken)(Click on the above photo to see larger sized image. This may take a few minutes to load...)

"Your country shall receive the cross, My child! Now you understand, My child the photograph. The cross to many shall be their salvation. The cross, My child as you observed upon the photgraph was a cross of light, beaming with life."
Our Lady - May 15, 1976

"The cross, My child, that was placed upon your flag has full meaning now to you for your country. America the beautiful, shall fall unless there is now a complete reversal-- not a renewal, My child, but a reversal of the ways that have set you to darkness!
Our Lady - May 29, 1976



Photo taken June 18th 1996 at 9:00p.m. by five year old Matthew S. from Staten Island, New York. Matthew asked Our Lady to give him a "miracle picture". The image of rosary bead patterns and what appears to be a flaming dove appears above the vigil statue.



An incredible Kodak photo taken at the Vigil of Feb. 1st, 1979, by Ray Welch of Hartford, Connecticut. St. Francis miraculously appears above the Vigil statue of Our Lady. There wasn't even a statue of St. Francis on the grounds.



Miraculous photo taken with SX-70 Polaroid camera by Bernie Beyer of Great Neck, N.Y. at the Vigil of March 25,1978, which shows a rat about to be caught in a noose. The message in symbolism was a secret one for Veronica alone. However, Heaven usually uses the rat as a symbol for those members of the clergy who go about like rodents burrowing into the God-given foundation of the Church, seeking to re-structure it according to their own human ideas.



Miraculous photo taken by Al Arcovitch of Bayonne, NJ. with an SX-70 camera - at the June 18, 1981 Vigil. A man wearing the white St. Michael Beret appears seated on a throne ascending what looks like a stairway to Heaven.



Photo taken at 6:10P.M. at June 18th, 1986 vigil by Rick S. from Staten Island, New York. Photograph of the sun taken with a Polaroid 600 camera while on the vigil grounds. A diamond shaped image appears to the left of the sun. Subsequent photos failed to reproduce this inexplicable image. It should be noted that at this particular vigil, over 1500 attendees saw the miracle of the sun spinning as occurred at Fatima in 1917. Thousands have witnessed this same phenomenon at various vigils in the past twenty-seven years.

An unbelievable photo taken during All Souls Vigil, 1974, by Linda Standacker of Astoria, N.Y. In this photo appeared faces of souls above Our Lady's statue while in the message that was given that evening Our Lady was begging for prayers for the souls in Purgatory.



Photo of the night sky over shrine grounds, taken during the vigil of July 25th, 1974, shows an incredible confusion of red and blue tracers. Taken by John Watkins of Connecticut, Vietnam war veteran who has taken literally thousands of miraculous photographs...



Our Lords Crown of Thorns




This is a photo of the sacred vigil grounds looking out over the crowd from the Vatican Pavilion site. It was taken with a Pentax 35-mm camera by Yvonne H. of Brooklyn, N.Y., on August 14, 1993, the Vigil of the Assumption.
But what miraculously appears on the right is a translucent image of St. Michael (facing toward the reader), all aglow in a greenish ent, the green being the symbolic color of this highest angel.

- Note the long, greenish-white gown, the wings on the upper left and right, and the form of an arm on the right side, as he is seated (on something invisible, as it were) Just to the right of Veronica's empty chair. Also, note the brilliant radiance from his being that emanates onto Veronica's secretary, Ann Ferguson, and the pilgrims in general.

- Veronica explained that St. Michael is present at all the vigils, even when she was absent. His awesome countenance ensures the protection and peace of the pilgrims in prayer and preserves the solemnity of these prayer vigils of reparation from those infernal spirits who are always seeking to encroach upon these hallowed grounds. This powerful Archangel would also indicate the presence of the Heavenly Host at all the vigils of which he is prince and guardian.



During conflict on original Grounds, Msgr. Powell (Vicar of Vicarate at the time) called out, "Veronica, come into the church and defend yourself!" Veronica asked for a sign from heaven whether or not to go in to see Msgr. Powell. Out came the letters "GO" on Polaroid camera that belonged to a man from N.J.




Our Lady on upper right corner, with a line of light proceeding through Veronica's head. Symbolizes the means by which Veronica received the messages, through locution, in other words a communication directly to the mind or intellect.
