Information
"In the northeastern plains of Hungary, in the village of Povch (former Szabolcs County), stands the Monastery of the Basilian Fathers, with a magnificent church. Stefan Papp, brother of the pastor of the church in Povch, who had studied art in Italy, was engaged by Laszlo Csigri to write an icon of the Mother of God for the ikonostas. He painted the Virgin Mother on wood holding the Divine Infant with a three-petaled tulip in His hand. Unable to pay for the icon, Lorincz Hurta, a well-to-do parishioner, donated it to the church. In this church the first weeping of the icon of the Mother of God took place on November 14, 1696 according to the Julian calendar. The same miracle occurred again from December 8 to 19th of the same year. Needless to say, this miracle was a great consolation to the discouraged people of Povch. Ever since the first miraculous weeping, the village of Povch has been called Marijapovch (in Hungarian, Mariapocs)."

St. Margaret was one of three children born to Agatha of Prussia (now Hungary) about 1045.
She married the king of Scotland, Malcolm III in 1070. Their marriage was blessed with 8 children, 6 sons, one after another, then 2 young daughters.
St Margaret helped bring the Scottish church in line with Rome by bringing together the Culdee and Roman priests in a conclave to resolve points of dispute. Her love and fine upbringing of her children was remarkable, and they all turned out very well. Although her health had never been good, it was not helped by her long and somewhat excessive periods of fasting and prayer. The king was killed in battle in 1093 and Margaret died when word of this tragedy reached her on Nov. 16, 1093

Our Lady of America®
Our Lady of America Center
700 N. Susan Drive, P.O. Box 445
Fostoria, OH 44830
Beginning in 1938, Sister Mildred Mary Neuzil received over a period of many years special messages from Our Lady of America. Her spiritual directors determined that these mystical experiences were interior locutions, and she was directed to record them in writing. They concerned primarily the personal spiritual life of Sister Mildred Mary Neuzil, but there were messages intended for the bishop and others. Sister Mildred Mary was cloistered in a convent of her community in Fostoria, Ohio until her death in 2000.
The emphasis of the messages she received deal mostly with the Indwelling of the Blessed Trinity and to devotion to Mary as Our Lady of America. Our Lady requested that a medal be struck honoring her Immaculate Conception and invoking her as Our Lady of America. This was done [see below].
The apparition has not been officially approved.
