The children started to play in the village square when suddenly, they saw some lightings. They thought a rainstorm was coming, so they collected all the sheep and started to come back home.
After a while they saw another lightning and above a little tree a woman dressed in white, brighter than the Sun, and they identified her as the Madonna.
There have been other six visions after the First Saw.
