During the late fifteenth and early late sixteenth centuries, Mary appeared to a holy Spanish Conceptionist nun who was abbess of a convent in Quito, Ecuador, Mother Marianna de Jesus Torres. Mary made many predictions for the nineteenth and twentieth centuries which did come true. She appeared to Mother Marianna over a period of ten years. Our Lady asked Mother Marianna to have a statue made in her likeness. She wanted it to be life sized and even had Mother Marianna measure her height with the rope from her habit.
