This can be discerned from the original photo.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/unnamed.png\" width=\"396\" height=\"673\" \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;This was taken on September 3, 1989 in Kar\u00e1csond, Hungary, in the Kar\u00e1csond Catholic Church while a professor of Sacred Art Restoration, K\u00e1roly (Carl) Ligeti, was restoring the painting of Archangel Saint Michael behind the altar.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Every few days, he recorded his progress by photography to show his university students and to keep for his archives.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;On that day, he asked his taxi chauffeur, who had brought him to the church, to take a photo of him up on the scaffolding painting. As the professor turned around to look down at the chauffeur and camera from the scaffolding, he saw down below by the tabernacle the white Light and 3D forms of a woman with a Child in front of her.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;No one else saw them. There were two women in the pews praying. They noticed nothing, and the chauffeur taking the picture also didn&#8217;t notice anything. Professor Ligeti was so affected by the experience that he took the next two weeks off from work.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The images came out on the photo, showing what he had seen. The Child Jesus in front of His Mother, Giving Blessing to the world, and Mary, With the Crown of Stars over Her Head, both of Them &#8216;clothed with the sun.&#8217;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The photo developers signed affidavits saying nothing was changed in the photo.

The visionaries have said of the fruit of the ten secrets that &#8216;evil will no longer be active on the Earth&#8217; and &#8216;nothing will remain that is not of God.&#8217; This is why her apparitions in Medjugorje [the first week of which have been Vatican-authenticated] will be &#8216;the final ones&#8217; where she &#8216;can be seen and touched,&#8217; because &#8216;there will no longer be a need&#8217; for her to appear that way.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Again, about Kar\u00e1csond: Hungary was officially given to Mary as its sovereign queen by King Saint Istv\u00e1n (Stephen) on the solemnity of the Assumption, on his deathbed, in 1038 AD.
