Lakeville Woman Mistakes Seagull for Virgin Mary on Roof — Was It a Sign?

At first glance, she believed someone had placed a small statue of the religious icon on her roof.

The striking resemblance between the bird's feathers and the image of the Virgin Mary raised a curious question: Was this a coincidence or a sign of something more profound?

This incident touches on the concept of Marian Apparitions, which in Catholic tradition is the repeated sighting of the Virgin Mary throughout history, often as a form of divine intervention. These appearances are believed to offer messages of hope, healing and a call to reconnect with faith.
